The Time Divide: Work, Family, and Gender Inequality (Family and Public Policy) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jacobs & Gerson present a clear explication of the conflict between work and family encountered by so many parents today. They review popular hypotheses (e.g. Americans work more hours than they used to), examine the relevant research, and provide sound and clearly reasoned conclusions. THE TIME
DIVIDE clarifies precisely why current workplace structures are
incompatible with the realities of family life today - and why this is especially the case for professionals, like the lawyers I coach. I applaud Jacobs and Gerson for making clear
that work/life conflict is a social policy issue of enormous
importance. They make a compelling case for the ways in which
individual choices are constrained by workplace demands and social norms. If every law firm partner read this book, would things finally change enough so that women lawyers would have a fair chance at success and leadership? Would that it were so.
