Work-life integration is an increasingly hot topic in the media,
social research, governments and in people's everyday lives. This
volume offers a new type of lens for understanding work-family
reconciliation by studying how work-family dynamics are shaped,
squeezed and developed between consistent or competing logics in
different societies in Europe and the US. The three institutions of
"state", "family" and "working life", and their under-explored
primary logics of "regulation", "morality" and "economic
competitiveness" are examined theoretically as well as empirically
throughout the chapters, thus contributing to an understanding of
the contemporary challenges within the field of work-family
research that combines structure and culture. Particular attention
is given to the ways in which the institutions are confronted with
various moral norms of good parenthood or motherhood and ideals for
family life. Likewise, the logic of policy regulation and gendered
family moralities are challenged by the economic logic of working
life, based on competition in favour of the most productive workers
and organizations. Demonstrating different aspects of what is
behind and between the logics of state regulation, morals and
market, this innovative volume will appeal to students, teachers
and researchers interested in areas such as family studies, welfare
state studies, social policy studies, work life studies as well as
and gender studies.
