Abstract
Paid work among adolescent girls living in poverty impacts their ability to complete their high school education. The link between the paid work of school girls and the intergenerational transmission of beliefs and attitudes toward marriage, education, and work has hitherto been unexamined among Arab-Palestinian families living in Israel, limiting the knowledge of its relevance to mothers and daughters' ability to cope with the demands of both work and school. This study examines from a class perspective three dimensions for understanding how mothers living in poverty and their daughters who work while at school cope with the educational system and the cultural structure to make certain that the girls complete high school. These dimensions are theethno-national-cultural context, the mothers' efforts to ensure their daughters' success in school,and the girls' struggle to establish an alternative value criterion for themselves as working students.
