Their evidence-based research tells us how to improve the lives of working carers in practical ways that narrow socio-economic and gender inequality, and increase the wellbeing of those who rely on us for care. May their ideas be heard and - more importantly - may they be acted upon for the good of our communities, workplaces and our economy. We have never needed them more.""Contemporary work and family issues addressed in contemporary language.""From the leading Australian scholars in the field, this book serves as a well-informed call-to-action for achieving a new social contract that addresses the close connections across work, family and caregiving responsibilities.
