Summary
"With research into the lives of global families becoming an increasing focus worldwide, this Research Handbook is a timely compendium of contemporary scholarship. It aptly describes the work-family interface, delving into the unique dimensions of global family life. This carefully designed Research Handbook offers a resource of nuanced discussions on some familiar topics as well as often-overlooked topics including global rainbow families, expatriate children and FIFO family life. While providing an essential theoretical understanding, each chapter also offers clear agendas for future research with theoretical insight. With a focus on insider perspectives, it successfully frames today's family challenges in a clear and concise way. The Research Handbook of Global Families will be useful for students and academics of such disciplines as global politics, human resource management, migration theory and sociology. It will also be an important reference point for researchers seeking up-to-date information about the nature of global family life"-- Provided by publisher.
