There are few edited volumes in this area, however, and this may be the only one that focuses on low-income families--a particularly important group in this era of welfare-to-work policy. Interdisciplinary in nature, the volume brings together contributors from the fields of psychology, social work, sociology, demography, economics, human development and family studies, and public policy. It presents important work-family topics from the point of view of low-income families. 410 0$aPenn State University family issues symposia series. 606 $aWork and family$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aWorking poor$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aWorking poor$xGovernment policy$zUnited States$vCongresses 606 $aPoor children$xServices for$zUnited States$vCongresses 615 0$aWork and family 615 0$aWorking poor 615 0$aWorking poor$xGovernment policy 615 0$aPoor children$xServices for 676 $a362.85/0973 701 $aCrouter$b Ann C$01486456 701 $aBooth$b Alan$f1935-2015.$01486455 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910780221003321 996 $aWork-family challenges for low-income parents and their children$93787941 997 $aUNINA
