Adler and Karl Lenz -- Index."With a focus on nine different national contexts, this book explores contemporary family diversity. With attention to the different welfare states and cultures of care in each setting, it problematises the pre-eminence of research and policy centred on heteronormative families, showing the extent to which family diversity exists cross-nationally in relation to different gendered and "family-friendly" policies. Considering variations in family forms, including differences in the number and marital status of parents, their gender, sexual orientation and biological relationship to the children (adoption), multi-cultural families, and families created by technological assistance or surrogacy, it presents demographic information, alongside quantitative and qualitative research, across a number of advanced countries. A contribution to our understanding of the diversity of family forms, how diversity is lived in families, and what family diversity means in various international policy contexts The Changing Faces of Families will appeal to scholars with interests in the sociology of the family"--Provided by publisher.Routledge Studies in Family Sociology SeriesFamiliesFamiliesEconomic aspectsFamilies.FamiliesEconomic aspects.306.85SOC026000SOC026010SOC064000bisacshAdler Marina A1356224Lenz Karl430202MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910686495803321The Changing Faces of Families3360534UNINA
