Single-Parenting in the 21st Century: Perceptions, Issues and
Implications explores and illuminates the landscape of
single-parenting in the twenty-first century, during which a great
number of individuals have begun parenting on their own. Nationally
and internationally recognized experts apply their multiple years
of experience as researchers and offer the most complete handbook
available to exploring the uncharted waters of single-parenting in
the twenty-firstt century. The volume provides in-depth answers to
important questions, such as: Does being a single parent effect
physical and mental health? What is the economic status of
single-mother and single-father families? Is the psychosocial
adjustment, school performance and behavior of single-parent
students related to nuclear family children? With these questions
in mind, the chapters are classified into three categories: a)
Single-Parenting and Health; b) Single-Parenting and Economic
Disadvantage; and c) Single-Parenting and Education. Globalization,
demographic shifts, economic, cultural, social and moral crisis,
and changing trends in the labor sector all signify the
distinctiveness of the current moment with regards to family
patterns. This one-of-a-kind book promotes a world-view, a
perspective of the multiple effects of single-parenting both on
parents as well as children and presents the most recent research
data on the complex issues surrounding single-parenthood. Written
with clarity and candor by worldwide researchers and experts,
Single-Parenting in the 21st Century: Perceptions, Issues and
Implications is an essential read for teachers, parents,
administrators and policymakers at all levels.
At the beginning of the third millennium, the social "exchange"
value of creativity is becoming greater and greater. In a worldwide
landscape which has been altering at an uncontrollable speed, the
individual is called upon to manage not only his or her private
chronotope but also its almost daily changes in a child-like,
fresh, versatile, original manner. At the same time, however, the
individual is also called upon to find solutions to older problems
by traveling new roads; problems such as the issue of coexistence
on this planet, on which the future of the survival of the species
now seems to be at stake. In the present volume, Creative Problem
Solving, the bibliography of theoretical and research issues which
are, by their very nature, intertwined and multileveled have been
revised and enhanced.
