Reconciling Work and the Family

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the challenges women face in balancing employment and family responsibilities, particularly in Germany. It employs longitudinal methods to analyze the impact of evolving leave regulations and job opportunities on women's work patterns. The author argues that policymakers have overlooked the fundamental issue of gendered divisions of paid and caregiving labor, perpetuating traditional gender roles rather than providing effective solutions for reconciling work and family life.
