ABSTRACT The Asia‐Pacific region has emerged as a focal point for reimagining work–life dynamics in an era of change and opportunity. Postpandemic trends such as the rise in remote work and in the adoption of artificial intelligence have redefined workplace practices but also exposed persistent inequalities, including limited access to flexible arrangements for low‐income workers and gender disparities in caregiving and career progression. Work–Life Research in the Asia‐Pacific: Implications for Justice, Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, edited by Chan, Shang, and Lu, explores these issues and more across three sections: Work–Life Equality and Justice; Technology, Work, and Family; and Work–Life Values and Trends in Asia. The book is broad in scope, examining diverse contexts such as Australia's labor laws and Southeast Asia's gig economies. It offers readers a nuanced understanding of socioeconomic and cultural dynamics in the region with actionable suggestions, such as promoting inclusive technology transitions, addressing caregiving inequities, and tailoring policies to local contexts.
