- Based on original research conducted over a period of five years, this 80,000-word, solely authored monograph explores the cultural aspects of the work-family balance. In four detailed chapters of empirical data, the author proposes an innovative approach to the work-family balance based on cultural reading of parents’ practices: from daily rituals, such the family meal, to playful and educational interactions with children, these daily practices are contrasted to parents’ social world of work. No previous publication of this size systematically unpacked and presented the socio-cultural aspects of the ways parents of young children manage work and family life.
