In the last half-century, radical changes have rippled through the
workplace and the home from Boston to Bombay. In the face of rapid
globalization, these changes affect us all, and we can no longer
confine ourselves to addressing working and social conditions
within our own borders without simultaneously addressing them on a
global scale. Based on over a thousand in-depth interviews and
survey data from more than 55,000 families spanning five
continents, Forgotten Families is the first truly global account of
how the changing conditions of work threaten children, women and
men, and the infirm. It addresses problems faced by working
families in industrialized and developing countries alike, touching
on issues of child health and development, barriers to parents
getting and keeping jobs, problems families confront daily and in
times of crisis, and the roles of growing inequalities. Rich in
individual stories and deeply human, Heymann's book proposes
innovative and imaginative ideas for solving the problems of the
truly belabored together as a global community.
