Work, Family, Health, and Well-Being grew out of a conference held
in Washington, D.C. in June 2003 on "Workforce/Workplace Mismatch:
Work, Family, Health, and Well-Being" sponsored by the National
Institutes of Health (NIH). The text considers multiple dimensions
of health and well-being for workers and their families, children,
and communities. Investigations into the socioeconomic gradient in
health within broad occupational categories have raised important
questions about the role of specific working conditions versus the
role of conditions of employment such as wages and level of job
security afforded a worker and his/her family in affecting health
outcomes. Organized into seven parts, this text: *provides an
overview of changes in work and family time and time use;
*dedicates a section focusing specifically on employers and
workplaces; *explores disciplinary perspectives on work, family,
health, and well-being; *focuses on the most studied work and
family nexus, the interrelationship between parental employment,
especially maternal employment and the child's well-being;
*examines gender differences in the division of labor, the effect
of marriage on health, the shifting nature of care-giving
throughout life, and the role of work on various health and
well-being outcomes; *explores occupational health literature; and
*focuses on the unique work-family issues faced by low-income
families and workers in low-wage jobs. This book appeals to anyone
in the fields of psychology, sociology, family studies,
demographics, economics, anthropology, and social work.
