today's date: May 10th, 2008 Balancing Work and Caregiving for Children, Adults and Elders (January FCNS Newsletter) Neal, M., Chapman, N., et al Published by: Sage productions, 2455 Teller Rd., Newbury Park, CA 91320, USA ISBN: 0-7879-5616-3 The authors explore how employees with caregiver roles juggle the responsibilities of work and family. They suggest that, in our current economic reality, dependent care needs to be addressed as a corporate, family and community concern. They present a thorough discussion of the stressors experienced by workers caught in the often conflicting demands of dual roles. Policies, benefits, and services are reviewed, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each for both the employee and employer. The authors also analyze methods for assessing employee's needs and provide recommendations for national and local policies. << back to Library Resources main page
