Description

How do unemployment and poverty affect families? Is there a relationship between work and family life? Where can families facing financial difficulties turn for assistance? Applied in focus, this volume addresses these and other questions by first examining a given problem and then offering practical solutions. Topics discussed include: the racial, sexual and familial composition of typical unemployed households; the impact unemployment has on them; how human service organizations can assist both temporarily and permanently poor families; where families can seek financial counselling; and the relationship between work, family and the growth of industrial social services.
