Gina's mother's workplace is an example of an exosystem. The exosystem is a part of Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and refers to a setting that does not involve the individual as an active participant, but still affects them. In this case, Gina does not directly interact with her mother's workplace, but it influences her life through its impact on her mother's availability.
