This text describes how government and industry have failed working
families and what we can do to get beyond this critical impasse. It
draws on systematic national research on how the need to meet
family obligations is affecting working Americans of all social
classes and ethnic groups. What happens when kids get sick? When an
elderly parent is hospitalized? How do poor families - who have
been studied in less depth than their middle-class peers - cope
with work-family demands? Jody Heymann's documented research points
to a widening gap between working families and the health and
development of children. She demonstrates how lack of essential
services and support lead to increased school failure, chronic
illness, and diminished chance of success for adults and children.
Outdated labour policy and practice must be brought into the
21st-century argues Heymann.
