Managing Work and Family

Dual-earner families in the United States and Europe struggle to balance the demands of work and family. These three books document these conflicts and, at times, propose solutions. They use quantitative and qualitative data to illuminate the demands and policies that should or could provide needed supports. They also inform theories relevant to work and family that are contemporary and more traditional. Data come from the United States, Great Britain, and Spain, thus adding a welcome comparative element to the evidence and perspectives in this area of scholarship.
