Care Work is a collection of original essays on the complexities of providing care. These essays emphasize how social policies intersect with gender, race, and class to alternately compel women to perform care work and to constrain their ability to do so.

Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Impact of a National Satellite Video Program
The 1999 national videoconference Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Implications for Professionals and Agencies educated professionals about the problems grandparents face as they parent a second time and encouraged professionals to work together on community-based solutions. Congruent with an ecological perspective, the videoconference portrayed problems and solutions as based in individuals and families, local communities, and the larger soci…
Gender differences in the economic, psychological and social effects of plant closings in an expanding economy
The experiences of women and men workers displaced from jobs in 1989 by three plant closings in Indiana were examined.

The Influence of Family and Work Characteristics on the Sustained Employment of College-Educated Wives
Three categories of work characteristics — employment expectations, job satisfaction, and job experiences — in addition to commonly considered family variables, are examined as influences on sustained employment between 1964 through 1968 for a national sample of college-educated wives, class of 1961. Number of children and husband's income have the strongest, and negative, effects on sustained employment. Additionally, two work characteristics, o…

Toward a Reassessment of Women's Experience at Middle Age
Theorists interested in adult development continue to focus on what are considered regular, anticipated, on-time and sequential stages, periods, and transitions in the life cyc/e. Researchers utilizing this theoretical model in studying middle age have, therefore, concentrated on events that are considered predictable for a large proportion of adults. This focus has precluded the consideration of events salient to large numbers of women. The firs…
Early Work Orientation & Later Situational Factors as Elements Of Work Commitment Among Married Women College Graduates
Using Becker's theory of commitment, national longitudinal data on 1961 college graduates are analyzed to determine the effects of early work orientation and the situational attributes of full-time work experience, husband's attitude and income, and number of children on the probability of 1968 employment among white married women. Work orientation is an insignificant predictor of work status and remains insignificant even when bolstered by any o…
