The Changing Realities of Work and Family cover

Changing Realities of Work and Family is an interdisciplinary volume that examines the multiple realities of work and family from academic, commercial, and political perspectives. The book

  • Brings together works by an extraordinary list of contributors, including Jane Swift, former governor of Massachusetts; practitioners from industry; the leading attorney in discrimination against mothers and pregnant women; and outstanding academics from psychology, business, economics, and human relations
  • Examines work and family in the political arena, gay and lesbian workers, work and family as it relates to age, single mothers, and the role of culture and community
  • Includes original empirical articles written expressly for this work, in which the most current research on the field of work and family will be presented
  • Provides “real world” examples of the intersection of work and family in such fields as business, government, and the law

“The editors succeeded in providing a research summary of what researchers and practitioners know about integrating work and family – a very important work of reference!.”  (Journal for the Study of Marriage & Spirituality, 21 January 2015)

"This is a valuable addition to any HR specialist’s library." (People Management, November 2
