Summary: Most of us are workers, spouses, and parents at some time during our lives. Often we are all three at the same time. Many textbooks focus on the activities, identities, expectations, relationships with others, and responsibilities associated with being a worker; others address issues associated with being a spouse or parent. However, few texts examine work and family together to determine how they overlap and influence each other. Some recent family texts include a chapter on work and family life, but the coverage is quite limited. Texts on work and occupations have yet to address work/family issues. This book is designed to fill this gap, to deal with the complex interrelationships among work and family roles.
