{"product_id":"changing-life-patterns-in-western-janet-zollinger-giele-9780762310203","title":"Changing Life Patterns in Western Industrial Societies: Volume 8","description":"Hardly any broad analyses exist to link the vast contemporary change in life patterns both to changes in women's lives (rising employment, declining fertility, and changing use of time) and to changes in men's lives, the gender contract, and the economy, as well as to national social policies. This book shows not only similar trends across countries but also the likely direction of future change, particularly as related to economic growth, gender equity, and the well-being of families and children. The first chapter, an overview by the editors, provides a comprehensive conceptual framework for understanding how the economic, sociological, and cultural changes have produced new individual life patterns. Succeeding chapters cover in Part I the connections between contemporary changes in lives and the changing global economy, the changing welfare state, and the growth of personal choice; in Part II changing time use patterns of men and women; in Part III the institutional factors in employment, child care, law, and family that affect life patterns of both sexes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Janet Zollinger Giele\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0762310200\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780762310203\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e JAI Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 358\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.44lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.81d","brand":"Janet Zollinger Giele","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47202668937471,"sku":"9780762310203","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0b2927d4-e022-4847-8d8a-afbae90a90ae.jpg?v=1756833051","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/changing-life-patterns-in-western-janet-zollinger-giele-9780762310203","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
