Was sind die Hintergründe und entscheidenden Fragen bei der Förderung einer partnerschaftlichen Aufgabenteilung in Familie und Beruf in Deutschland? Dieser Bericht soll die Politikverantwortlichen in Deutschland darin bestärken, die wichtigen seit Mitte der 2000er Jahre eingeleiteten Reformen weiterzuführen, um die Vereinbarkeit von beruflichen und familiären Pflichten für Väter und Mütter zu verbessern. Für die Familien heißt das: „Mehr Partnerschaftlichkeit wagen“. Die deutschen Erfahrungen werden dabei im internationalen Vergleich untersucht, u.a. mit Blick auf Frankreich und die nordischen Länder, die seit langem eine Politik zur Förderung der Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf sowie zur Stärkung der Geschlechtergleichstellung verfolgen. Der Bericht beginnt mit einem Übersichtskapitel, in dem erklärt wird, warum und wie sich Partnerschaftlichkeit für Familien, Kinder sowie Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft insgesamt auszahlt. Vorgestellt werden aktuelle Daten, Politiktrends sowie detaillierte Analysen der ausschlaggebenden Faktoren für die Aufteilung von bezahlter und unbezahlter Arbeit, einschließlich der Frage, wie mehr Partnerschaftlichkeit in Familie und Beruf zu höheren Geburtenraten führen kann. Außerdem werden Politikmaßnahmen zur Förderung der Partnerschaftlichkeit untersucht, wobei sich der Blick sowohl auf nach wie vor bestehende Unzulänglichkeiten als auch auf die Fortschritte richtet, die mit den seit Mitte der 2000er Jahre eingeleiteten Reformen erzielt wurden. Der Bericht enthält eine Reihe von Politikempfehlungen, deren Ziel es ist, Eltern eine ausgewogenere Aufteilung beruflicher und familiärer Pflichten zu ermöglichen.

However, most studies follow the traditional quantitative methodology which fails to embrace the complexity of these issues. The present book is aimed to cover this gap by researching work-family discourses also with qualitative methodologies based on social representations of work, family, and gender roles.

"In her introduction, Luisa Del Giudice refers to this collection of reflections from scholarly women as "a convocation of wise women" and discusses wisdom as something not dichotomous from knowledge but emerging from the integration of the pursuit of knowledge with the pursuit of spiritual truth. Seeking purpose is an alternative way to characterize the reflexive examination of careers and personal direction that this collection captures. The editor notes that such life review is most frequently associated with the later, second half of life, as is wisdom traditionally, and it often entails an effort to integrate career and profession within a meaningful whole life, including its personal and spiritual aspects. The authors thus frequently look back and a substantial element of memoir infuses the collection. It is also grounded, though, in presence, in focused awareness of self that might reveal existential meaning. Several of the contributing authors to this work, including the editor, have careers that frequently touch on matters of spirituality, whether as scholars of folklore, belief, and religion or as professional practitioners of varying religious traditions. The book is interdisciplinary may have a place among or interest to a wide variety of genres and disciplines, including academic memoirs, feminist writings, religious studies, women's studies, folklore studies, ethnography, sociology, and ethnic (especially Italian American, which a majority of the contributors are) studies"--Provided by publisher.
