Description

Continuity and Change in the American Family engages students with issues they see every day in the news, providing them with a comprehensive description of the social demography of the American family.

Understanding ever-changing family systems and patterns requires taking the pulse of contemporary family life from time to time.

This book paints a portrait of family continuity and change in the later half of the 20th century, with a focus on data from the 1970's to present.

The authors explore such topics as the growth in cohabitation, changes in childbearing, and how these trends affect family life.

Other topics include the changing lives of single mothers, fathers, and grandparents and increasing economic disparities among families; child care and child well-being; and combining paid work and family.

The authors are talented writers who bring considerable professional and scholarly background to bear in illuminating this topic in a thoughtful yet lively presentation.
