The Changing Realities of Work and Family: A Multidisciplinary Approach

“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)

"Amy Marcus-Newhall, Diane Halpern, and Sherylle Tan have compiled the first comprehensive, multidisciplinary volume on work and family. The Changing Realities of Work and Family brings togetherthe best researchers in this field and some extraordinary practitioners to cover an impressive array of topics from several vantage points. The editors skillfully combine contributions that point to the common experiences adults workers face in combining employment with caring for families but also carefully remind us of important differences among workers and families that are often overlooked in this field. The book will be an asset to work/family researchers and professionals as well as an excellent primer for the classroom."
–Randy Albelda, University of Massachusetts Boston

"In the context of a rapidly changing U.S. work force, this up-to-date volume provides keen insights into how families, communities, and workplaces can reap substantial benefits from greater investments in supportive work-family policies. This multidisciplinary array of studies examines the experiences of a diverse array of families, and notes the powerful effects of work-family interventions on health outcomes, family life, and workplace productivity and equality."
–Joya Misra, University of Massachusetts Amherst

"A multi-disciplinary, multi-level, research-based summary of what we know about integrating work and family in today’s complicated world. An important new resource for all researchers concerned with the work-family domain."
