description: Contributors provide new views and data on families in which both husband and wife work. The division of labour in such homes, the family relationships within them, and the demographics of dual career families are among the topics. Are dual career families only a response to economic necessity? Do they in fact simply make women work even harder? `...a number of the articles clearly and interestingly point out the difficulties of coping in families in which there are two wage earners and yet have a conservative outlook and have difficulties in coping with the daily problems of modern life.′ -- ′Ba Mishpacha′, Sept 1984
