The Economics of Work and Family
本书汇集多位专家撰写的非技术性论文，从经济学视角探讨育儿、工作家庭时间平衡、女性生育与经济结果、家庭与医疗休假法案效果及家庭结构与劳动力市场结果等议题，并主张缓解相关压力的政策。
Kimmel and Hoffman present a set of topical, non-technical papers authored by nationally known experts in this field. Using an economic perspective, they confront work/family issues including child care (potentially the biggest obstacle to parents successfully integrating work and family priorities), how parents balance time between work and family obligations, links between women's childbearing and their economic outcomes, the success of the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and the relationship between family structure and labor market outcomes. They also argue for specific policies designed to alleviate the stresses related to these issues.
