Employment and the Family

More about the book

The book examines the significant rise in employment rates among mothers of young children and the evolving attitudes toward gender roles. It analyzes how these changes impact family dynamics and employment relations, suggesting that recent developments may be making work less accommodating for families. Through original research, Rosemary Crompton delves into the origins of this shift in the gendered division of labor, offering insights into the consequences of these societal changes.
