In most countries of North America, Europe, and Oceania; and increasingly in Asia and Latin America as well; dual-earner families have become the norm. This major shift in the global labor market and the realities of a global economy, have brought about important changes in the lives of many individuals and families. The conflict between working and caring responsibilities has intensified and both men and women have to come to terms with changing gender role expectations. A new field of inquiry has emerged, under the broad umbrella of work–family research, drawing on scholars from a wide range of disciplines. Testimonies of this growing, multi-disciplinary field are the many work and family special issues published in journals like Human Resource Management (Lobel, 1992 Lobel, S. A. 1992. Editor's note: Introduction to special issue on work and family. Human Resource Management, 31(3): 153–155. [Google Scholar]), Qualitative Sociology (Gerstel & Clawson, 2000 Gerstel, N. and Clawson, D. 2000. Introduction to the special issue on work and families. Qualitative Sociology, 23(4): 375–378. [Google Scholar]), International Journal of Cross-Cultural Management (Poelmans, 2003 Poelmans, S. 2003. Editorial. The multi-level ‘fit’ model of work and family (Editorial introduction to special issue on ‘Theoretical frameworks for cross-cultural research on work and family’). International Journal of Cross-Cultural Management, 3(3): 267–274. [Crossref] , [Google Scholar]), Public Finance and Management (Amuedo-Dorantes & Kimmel, 2005 Amuedo-Dorantes, C. and Kimmel, J. 2005. The motherhood wage gap for women in the United States: The importance of college and fertility delay. Review of Economics of the Household, 3(1): 17–48. [Google Scholar]), and Career Development International (de Janasz, 2007 de Janasz, S. C. 2007. Honouring the life and legacy of Michael J. Driver, 1936–2004. Career Development International, 12(4): 325–327. [Google Scholar]). In 1999, Community, Work & Family became the first journal to create a dedicated forum for this multi-disciplinary field. This special issue, ‘Investigating Workplace Flexibility Using a Multi-organization Database: A Collaboration of Academics and Practitioners’, is unique and offers an important landmark in this growing domain of scholarship
