This timely reference takes a rigorous look at the myriad ways
technology, from smartphones to dating apps to social media, is
affecting family life and opening new areas for study. The book
features cross-disciplinary perspectives on current trends in the
role of technology in couple and family contexts. It focuses on the
roles of parents in monitoring children's screen time, of
technology in relationship formation, and of technology in changing
family dynamics. Nuanced coverage considers the emerging conflicts
and paradoxes associated with digital family life-closeness versus
isolation, children versus parents as experts, and privacy versus
surveillance. Contributors also identify new research opportunities
as family roles and structures continue to evolve and technology
becomes a greater lens for family studies. Among the topics
covered: How parents manage young children's mobile media use
Adolescents as the family technology innovators Online dating:
changing intimacy one swipe at a time Technology in relational
systems: roles, rules, and boundaries Television "effects" on
international family change Interplay between families and
technology: future investigations Families and Technology is a
valuable resource for researchers and students in the fields of
family studies, sociology, marriage and family therapy, social
welfare, public health, and psychology. The book also appeals to
policymakers and human services personnel dedicated to better
understanding the impact of rapidly spreading technologies on
families around the globe.

This provocative volume is comprised of psychological,
socioeconomic, and cultural perspectives on couple dynamics,
particularly gender dynamics, and the future of marriage. Featuring
data on married, cohabitating, male/female, and same-sex couples,
the authors of the book's chapters analyze the changing impacts of
work, parenting, and the health benefits of marriage for men and
women. Trajectories in the evolution toward gender equality provide
the backdrop for discussions of women and men as partners, parents,
and workers in contemporary society. Contributors also keep a sharp
focus on the complexities of gender issues as they intersect with
crucial contexts of cohort, class, race/ethnicity, and sexual
orientation. Among the topics covered: Gender equality and economic
inequality: impacts on marriage. Expansionist theory expanded:
integrating sociological and psychological perspectives on gender,
work, and family change. Gender, work, and family: action in the
interactions. Changes in U.S. mothers' and fathers' time use:
causes and consequences. A case for gay fathers. Gender, marriage,
and health for same-sex and different-sex couples Gender and Couple
Relationships documents social roles and social change with
fascinating insight to advance research in fields of psychology,
sociology, demography and economics and to the benefit of work
organizations, policy makers, family and couple therapists and
other mental health professionals.
The widening gap between the rich and the poor is turning the
American dream into an impossibility for many, particularly
children and families. And as the children of low-income families
grow to adulthood, they have less access to opportunities and
resources than their higher-income peers--and increasing odds of
repeating the experiences of their parents. Families in an Era of
Increasing Inequality probes the complex relations between social
inequality and child development and examines possibilities for
disrupting these ongoing patterns. Experts across the social
sciences track trends in marriage, divorce, employment, and family
structure across socioeconomic strata in the U.S. and other
developed countries. These family data give readers a deeper
understanding of how social class shapes children's paths to
adulthood and how those paths continue to diverge over time and
into future generations. In addition, contributors critique current
policies and programs that have been created to reduce disparities
and offer suggestions for more effective alternatives. Among the
topics covered: Inequality begins at home: the role of parenting in
the diverging destinies of rich and poor children. Inequality
begins outside the home: putting parental educational investments
into context. How class and family structure impact the transition
to adulthood. Dealing with the consequences of changes in family
composition. Dynamic models of poverty-related adversity and child
outcomes. The diverging destinies of children and what it means for
children's lives. As new initiatives are sought to improve the
lives of families and children in the short and long term, Families
in an Era of Increasing Inequality is a key resource for
researchers and practitioners in family studies, social work,
health, education, sociology, demography, and psychology.
