Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term "second shift" refers to the additional work that women do at home after finishing their paid work outside the home. This includes household chores and care-giving responsibilities for children and other family members. This concept was popularized by Hochschild in her book "The Second Shift: Working Parents and the Revolution at Home."

Answer: A and B 
 "Pink collar trap" and "velvet ghetto" both refer to the phenomenon of women being concentrated in low-paying, female-dominated jobs with limited opportunities for advancement. These terms highlight the gendered nature of occupational segregation and the ways in which societal expectations and biases can limit women's career options.
