Reviews
"very insightful book...crucial to understanding the phenomenon of working parenthood...underlines the potential positive effects of the economic downturn" Rosy Musumeci, University of Turin
"This collaborative study provides a subtle and multi-layered understanding of the transition to parenthood within a cross-national comparative framework. Here is a study which is heartily recommended not only to researchers and students of family and social policy but also to those interested in the practice and promise of comparative analysis." Emeritus Professor David Morgan, Morgan Centre for the Study of Relationships and Personal Life, University of Manchester
