"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.
