Description

Explore the sociological shifts in family structures with this academic study from Routledge. Over the last twenty years, there has been a significant rise in the proportion of families headed by women. This book examines the causes and the resulting implications of this global trend. Many of these households face economic challenges and include dependent children, contributing to the growth of underprivileged classes across the western world. By adopting an international perspective, this work looks beyond local borders to understand how these changes affect different societies. The text focuses on specific countries where these trends are most visible, providing a detailed look at the social changes occurring in western nations. This book is a valuable resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and social sciences. It offers a deep look into the structural changes of the modern family and the economic realities faced by women-led households in a global context.
