Description:
Mothers who work keenly feet the tug-of-war between home obligations and job duties. But do working fathers experience the same kind of stress? Absolutely, say the authors of this tong-overdue examination of men's work-family time binds. A gradual profound shift in American fathers' values has created a largely unrecognized conflict between work and family that "real" men experience acutely but are reluctant to discuss. Most men now want to provide for their children and to spend time raising them, but they don't know how to do both.
Expand description
Based on two decades of research, Working Fathers shows how the father-friendly workplace can yield enormous benefits to fathers and mothers and how getting it right at home contributes to productivity on the job. To date, much attention has focused on working mothers, but "in the long run", say Levine and Pittinsky, "if mothers and children are going to get the support they need, we have to get fathers into the equation". This book offers the practical strategies to help parents and businesses do just that.
