Unfinished Work Building Equality and Democracy in an Era of Working Families

Leading experts reflect on the changing nature of work and family life.While many aspects of work have changed dramatically over the last few decades, society has struggled to adapt, to the detriment of working families. Work schedules and demands continue to reflect a time when at least one parent stayed home, women remain underpaid relative to men on average, and public schools still base their hours on an agrarian calendar.Unfinished Work provides insights into why we have not yet seen an effective national response to the challenges faced by most working families in America today, and offers solutions from leading thinkers in the field across the disciplines of political science, sociology, economics, history, and public policy.Heymann, Jody is the author of 'Unfinished Work Building Equality and Democracy in an Era of Working Families', published 2005 under ISBN 9781565849228 and ISBN 1565849221.
