Description

As more women pursue careers and more men stay at home, the spheres of work and family will never be the same. Work and family in America offers a comprehensive and insightful overview of these two overlapping worlds. This book includes an extensive directory of work-family organizations. Surveying current research findings, social trends, and public controversies, the author examines the changing cultures of the workplace, family, and home. It also looks at the shifting role of men as they become more involved fathers, trends in daycare and child development, the degree to which dual-career couples share housework, and the relationship between employment and self-esteem.
