In The Work-Family Challenge contributors from the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States explore the possibilities of challenging traditional employment structures to take account of contemporary work and family realities. They take a critical look at the notion of `family-friendly' employment, and explore ways in which the rapidly changing needs of both organizations and the workforce can be met. The volume argues that real progress requires moving the focus from specific policies and practices towards more systemic organizational change. It examines the contexts and opportunities - global, international, national, sociopolitical, legal and economic - for this change. The book concludes that positive solution

The National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) has been operating a reporting system for family planning clinic services since May 1969. Data are collected through this system about individuals who receive family planning services from participating family planning service sites throughout the U.S. and some of its territories. The information obtained is useful for research purposes and for program planning and evaluation, primarily at the national level. The information obtained through the National Reporting System may be divided into 4 general types: data about the participating facilities, data about the sociodemographic characteristics of the individuals being served, data about the types of services being provided, and data about the visits made. Information collected about the individuals being served consists of identification information and the sociodemographic characteristics of each person. Data about the family planning services provided refer to the medical, counseling, and referral services that each person receives at a particular visit and include information about the type of contraceptive method adopted by each person and previous contraceptive use. Focus here is on the legislative and historical background of the reporting system, the provisional reporting system (the report form, operational procedures, and output tabulations), and the national reporting system (the report forms, operational procedures, and output tabulations). The 100% family planning reporting system has grown rapidly during the 7 years of its operation. During 1970 some 800 service sites reported serving 415,000 patients who made 640,000 visits for family planning services; these figures have increased to 4940 service sites reporting 3,248,000 patients who made 5,853,000 visits during 1975.

The Cambridge Handbook of the Global Work-Family Interface is a response to growing interest in understanding how people manage their work and family lives across the globe. Given global and regional differences in cultural values, economies, and policies and practices, research on work-family management is not always easily transportable to different contexts. Researchers have begun to acknowledge this, conducting research in various national settings, but the literature lacks a comprehensive source that aims to synthesize the state of knowledge, theoretical progression, and identification of the most compelling future research ideas within field. The Cambridge Handbook of the Global Work-Family Interface aims to fill this gap by providing a single source where readers can find not only information about the general state of global work-family research, but also comprehensive reviews of region-specific research. It will be of value to researchers, graduate students, and practitioners of applied and organizational psychology, management, and family studies.

Family caregiving affects millions of Americans every day, in all walks of life. At least 17.7 million individuals in the United States are caregivers of an older adult with a health or functional limitation. The nation's family caregivers provide the lion's share of long-term care for our older adult population. They are also central to older adults' access to and receipt of health care and community-based social services. Yet the need to recognize and support caregivers is among the least appreciated challenges facing the aging U.S. population. Families Caring for an Aging America examines the prevalence and nature of family caregiving of older adults and the available evidence on the effectiveness of programs, supports, and other interventions designed to support family caregivers. This report also assesses and recommends policies to address the needs of family caregivers and to minimize the barriers that they encounter in trying to meet the needs of older adults.
