Description
Who does the housework when men become unemployed? Jane Wheelock discovers, contrary to sociologist's expectations, that most men are willing to share domestic labour with their working partners. This book should be of interest to students and lecturers of social science, social policy, economics, and students and professionals in community and youth work.
