In the first major work to take the home as a center of analysis
for global social problems, experts from a variety of fields reveal
the multidimensional reality of the home and its role in societies
worldwide. This unique book serves as a basis for action by
proposing global legislative, political and institutional
initiatives with the home in mind. The multidisciplinary and
integrative approach taken by this book avoids simplistic accounts
of the home, studies the value of the home, the service it offers,
and its contribution to the wellbeing and prosperity of
communities. Reviewing its internal functions and external
relationships, the authors connect the themes of family, housing,
income and wealth, community, relationships, family policies,
socioeconomic setting, culture and history from across the world.
Academics studying issues such as family, housing, public and
social policy, sociology, urban studies and poverty will benefit
from the range of insights this book offers into what the home
means worldwide. Policymakers, social organizations and specialized
networks working in the areas of family, education, poverty and
housing will greatly benefit from the insight and breadth of this
research. Contributors include: A. Argandona, M. Bertolaso, H.
Burns, A. d'Entremont, M. do Ceu Patrao Neves, E.P. Davis, R.
Lastra, A. Marcos, M. Regnerus, S. Zamagni
