内容説明

This unique selection of chapters brings together researchers from a variety of academic disciplines to explore aspects of law's engagement with working families. It connects academic debate with policy proposals through an integrated set of approaches and perspectives. Families, Care-giving and Paid Work offers an original approach to a very topical area. Not only does it consider the limitations of law in relation to the regulation of care-giving and workplace relationships, but it is premised upon a reconsideration of law's potential and engages with suggested strategies for bringing about long-term social change. Offering a range of analyses, this book will strongly appeal to policy makers and practitioners involved with promoting work and family issues, students in labor and employment studies, law and social policy, as well as academics interested in work and family reconciliation issues, or gender and law issues. Contributors: N. Busby, T. Callus, E. Caracciolo di Torella, S. Charlesworth, R. Guerrina, R. Horton, G. James, C. Lyonette, S. Macpherson, A. Masselot, O. Smith, M. Weldon-Johns
