Juggling Motherhood and Profession
Date du début: 1 nov. 2016, Date de fin: 31 août 2019 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

In all Member States, female labour market participation is lower than males’. Data also show a direct correlation between childbearing, care tasks, conciliation and employment: half of the women population exits the work market after child birth. Within such framework, for the more vulnerable and poverty-stricken female segments of the population (e.g. low income, low educated, dealing with socio-economic and cultural issues, sole head of the household), the unemployment situation can be further exacerbated, particularly in case of women with children aged 0-10.To respond to unskilled mothers’ request of help to find a job, social professionals working in public and private establishments need to set up complex and multilayered methods of social intervention: in first place they need to be able to rely on innovative practices capable to address the social/emotional/relational roots of the unskilled mothers’ unemployment or inactivity challenges. JUMP will therefore develop (PHASE 1) coaching/training tools addressed to social professionals to assist them in their daily activities with women belonging to disadvantaged groups.These modules, designed also following existing best practices, will allow social professional to better identify recipients’ recurrent underlying challenges (parenting issues, socio/cultural/linguistic hindrance to labour market integration, etc.) as well as recipients’ valuable assets that can be mobilized to boost their capabilities (relational capital, skills acquired through motherhood, potentialities related to their socio/cultural specificities, etc.).Learning modules will be then used (PHASE 2) by a large sample social professionals from Italy, Spain, Greece and Croatia to develop individualized coaching paths addressed to disadvantaged mothers (ca 150) with the aim to: increase their resiliency skills; activate processes of self-evaluation; provide relational assets and information to be used as capability boosters; provide skills and self-reflective capacities to re-arrange care tasks, when needed, in order to achieve labour market outcomes.Dissemination and outreach activities will be developed throughout the whole project, also through the broadcasting of webminars and the organization of high-impact in regional conferences (in Italy, Croatia and Greece).JUMP sees the participation of different types of organizations as research institutions, welfare providers, no profit organizations dealing with adult training and assistance, social profit organizations. The partnership focuses on Southern Europe (I, ES, GR) and one South-Eastern European country (HR) and has an impressive curricula of working with women employability, training and assistance.Its' furthermore worth mentioning how an active participation of social professionals from all partner institutions is planned, both in the modules design and in the testing phases; furthermore, a sample of recipients (vulnerable women with small children) will be actively involved in the second phase of the project, being the final beneficiaries of the developed coaching methodology.JUMP will exert a significant impact both within partner organizations (that will adopt the developed working approach within their regular working practices) and in the different stakeholder communities thanks to the partnership close links and outreach capacity with a broad range of players.
