While focused on the United States in respect to its target audience and emphasis, it contains considerable international data that compares and contrasts social policies adopted in Europe and elsewhere. In so doing, it shows both the strengths and the limitations of the approaches used in the U.S. This title is the only single source that summarizes the origins of work-family concerns, the diversities of needs and experiences, the impact of tensions on the family front, the consequences of tensions for employers, and different types of policies that can make meaningful differences not only in the lives of employees, but also potentially in job quality and national productivity.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStephen Sweet is an associate professor of sociology at Ithaca College and was formerly the associate director of the Cornell Work and Family Careers Institute.
