Forgotten Families (eBook, ePUB)

Ending the Growing Crisis Confronting Children and Working Parents in the Global Economy

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Based on over a thousand in-depth interviews and survey data from more than 55,000 families spanning five continents, Forgotten Families is the first truly global account of how the changing conditions of work threaten children, women and men, and the infirm. It addresses problems faced by working families in industrialized and developing countries alike, touching on issues of child health and development, barriers to parents getting and keeping jobs, problems families confront daily and in times of crisis, and the roles of growing inequalities.
