Sommario/riassunto

This book offers a new theoretical lens for understanding work-family dynamics, thus contributing to a deeper understanding of contemporary challenges within the field of work-family research. The book examines how work-family dynamics are shaped, squeezed and developed between working life demands, family ideals and family policies - and competing logics of economic competitiveness, morality and regulations across countries.
