This book will describe in detail what it is like to be a parent in
four different communities in England. The research data that are
the basis for this description are interpreted in relation to a
number of key factors, include: family social class, ethnic group,
length of time on the neighbourhood and the presence of extended
family locally.
The book will be of interest to anyone wanting to know more about how to improve the lives of parents and children. Special focus is placed on those families who face disadvantage, either in relation to personal vulnerabilities or in relation to living in neighbourhoods lacking in resources and facilities.
