A new book from Fordham GSS Professor and Mary Ann Quaranta Chair for Social Justice for Children Shirley Gatenio Gabel, Ph.D., examines how European countries manage the shifting dynamics of family life, when those families must adapt to social and political changes.
Titled Navigating Family Policies in Precarious Times: Examining Diverse Approaches in European Countries, the book explores how changes in family and gender roles, work, and household composition have affected the intricacies of parental leave policies, societal attitudes, and the inherent precarity within family life.
The book bridges academic analysis and practical policymaking, serving as an interdisciplinary, relevant resource for students and educators interested in social policy and the complexities of family life. Its focus on Eastern European countries makes it an especially engaging study for those interested in this region.
