Work-Family Research

TERI ANN LILLY, MARCIE PITT-CATSOUPHES, and BRADLEY K. GOOGINS are affiliated with The Center for Work & Family at Boston College. The Center was founded in 1990 as the first academic center to focus on research and policy assessments of work and family issues.

The work and family revolution of the latter part of the 20th century has profoundly changed the social structures, institutions, and cultures that constitute the fabric of our lives. Given the nature of work and family changes, it is little wonder that numerous social science researchers have studied these changes and their impacts on society. This bibliography seeks to identify the primary thematic and topical strands that have contributed to the understanding of the work-family field.The bibliography is organized by major themes and topics. Within each chapter, entries for articles, books, chapters, reports, and other materials are organized alphabetically and provide full citations as well as annotations. This will be a major research tool for students, academics, and professionals with interests in the contemporary family and work-family roles.

A pioneering annotated bibliography on work-family issues.
