While employers and policymakers struggle to navigate this new terrain, critics charge that the research sector, too, has been slow to respond.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGender and the Work-Family Experience\u003c\/i\u003e puts multiple faces – male as well as female – on complex realities with interdisciplinary and cross-cultural awareness and research-based insight. Besides reviewing the state of gender roles as they affect home and career, this in-depth reference examines and compares how women and men experience work-family conflict and its consequences for relationships at home as well as outcomes on the job. Topics as wide-ranging as gendered occupations, gender and shiftwork, heteronormative assumptions, the myth of the ideal worker, and gendered aspects of work-familyguilt reflect significant changes in society and reveal important implications for both research and policy.
