The Care Dilemma

More about the book

The book explores the dual nature of family life changes over the past 60 years, highlighting both the benefits of increased opportunities for women and the negative impacts such as family breakdown and mental health issues in children. Goodhart emphasizes the demographic challenges posed by falling birthrates and how these disproportionately affect the working poor. He advocates for a new policy approach that balances gender equality with the need for stable families and community support, making it essential reading for those concerned with contemporary social and political issues.
