Über Men, Wage Work and Family
This edited book brings together empirical studies of the work-life nexus with a specific focus on men¿s working time arrangements, how men navigate and traverse paid work and family commitments, and the impact of public and organizational policies on men¿s participation in work, leisure, and other life domains. The book is innovative in that it presents both macro (institutional, how policy affects practice) and micro (individual, from men¿s own perspectives) level studies, allowing for a rich and contrasting exploration of how men¿s participation in paid work and other domains is divided, conflicted, or integrated. Taking an international focus, Men, Wage Work and Family contrasts various public and organizational policies and how these policies impact men¿s opportunities and participation in paid work and non-work domains in industrialised countries in Europe, North America, and Australia.
