- Synopsis
- This Population Council Report shows that, in rich and poor countries alike, parent-child bonds are unraveling and that women carry much more significant economic and social responsibilities for the family than commonly believed. The authors of this book urge policymakers and researchers to focus on strengthening parent-child ties and to look beyond the myth that all families are stable and cohesive units in which the father serves as economic provider, the mother serves as emotional caregiver, and all children are treated equally well.
