Abstract: This volume considers how today's families cope with the competing demands of work and home life and how these demands directly and indirectly affect their health and well-being. Thirty-three contributions address such topics as employer policies to support work and families; the effects of marriage, divorce, and widowhood on women's health; and the child-care needs of low-income parents. The papers were originally presented at a 2003 conference held in Washington, D.C. under the auspices of the National Institutes of Health.
