How do working mothers maintain time with children? -- Earning capacity versus caring capacity. The pull to the market -- Cross-national comparison of the impact of children on adult time. Welfare regimes, gender and parental care.
Review: "In this book the author provides the first comprehensive account of how parents divide their time between caring for children, housework, paid work and leisure." "Using large-scale quantitative time use data from Australia and other Western countries, the book provides a detailed analysis of the impact of children upon adult time. This research reveals a unique picture of how parenthood affects daily life within households and what happens to people's (paid and unpaid) workload when they become parents."--BOOK JACKET.
