- Title
Growing Pains and Progress in the Study of Working Families.
- Authors
Estes, Sarah Beth
- Abstract
Proliferate research on work and family has led to an ongoing concern about how best to conceptualize the complexity of the work-family nexus. This article focuses on how the volumes under review reflect three main themes designed to expand the boundaries of work-family research: (a) families house a diversity of interests, (b) families are culturally and economically variable, and (c) carework is inherently public work. The article suggests that attention to each of these themes--and to the third in particular--will contribute to a more complete conceptualization of how the institutions of work and families are interwoven.
