Addressing a significant gap in the literature to date, this book focuses on dual-earner families in the international context. It brings together contributions from a range of countries and continents to examine the issues and developments for dual-earner families located in different socio-cultural, political and economic systems. In particular the book explores the ways in which dual-earner couples in these different contexts are reconstructing gender and family roles to balance the demands of work and the family.
