本文关注的是母亲在子女教育照料工作中所经历的不平等。有人认为，母亲在转入第二阶段学校时所做的照顾工作是由她们激活情感资本这一重要资源的能力决定的;这是一种涉及情感技能、知识和经验的性别资源。通过对母亲日常护理的深入研究，我们认为，拥有情感资本使母亲受到规范的护理秩序的约束。此外，在探索母亲的能力，激活情感资本的特质之间的差异，有人认为，这种护理资源的激活是促进团结的关系，但也通过母亲的访问其他资本的背景下。它的结论是，为了解决护理不平等的教育工作者需要认识到情感资源的重要性，并需要挑战传统的实践守则和政策周围的“父母”的参与。
This paper is concerned with the inequalities experienced by mothers in the performance of educational care work for their children. It is argued that the caring work carried out by mothers at transfer to second‐level schooling is shaped by their ability to activate the significant resource of emotional capital; a gendered resource involving emotional skills, knowledge and experiences. Drawing on an in‐depth study of mothers’ routines of care, it is suggested that the possession of emotional capital subjects mothers to a normative order of care. Moreover, in exploring the idiosyncratic differences between mothers’ capacities to activate emotional capital it is argued that the activation of this care resource is facilitated in the context of solidary relationships but also by mothers’ access to other capitals. It is concluded that in order to tackle care inequalities those working in education need to recognise the significance of emotional resources, and need to challenge traditional codes of practice and policies around ‘parental’ involvement.
