Sheila H. Akabas and Paul A. Kurzman present a comprehensive
look at the ways in which management, labor organizations,
government, and the social work profession can better respond to
the needs of workers and their families and communities. Focusing
on the social, psychological, and economic conditions of the
workplace, this volume addresses the domino impact of unemployment;
the inadequacy of insurance, benefit, and support systems; barriers
to entering the workforce; the conflict between work and family
obligations; the sometimes unsupportive nature of many jobs and
settings; and the difficulties faced by people with chronic or
acute illnesses. In conclusion, the authors assess current trends
and consider the future possibilities of career counseling,
pre-retirement preparation, disability management, executive
coaching, manpower programming, and managed care. Case studies and
study questions accompany each chapter.
