Description

This comprehensive guide by Margaret B. Neal and Leslie B. Hammer examines the unique pressures facing dual-earner couples who balance childcare with eldercare responsibilities, a challenge increasingly common as the baby boomer generation reaches midlife. The book identifies the specific needs of the 'sandwiched generation' and explores how workplace policies can be redesigned to support these workers. By proposing practical solutions centered on flexibility and family-focused understanding, this Applied Psychology Series title offers employers, human resources professionals, and working families themselves a roadmap for managing work and caregiving duties more effectively. Essential reading for anyone navigating the intersection of career advancement and multigenerational family care.
