“…When neither marriage nor cohabitation occurs before or after childbearing, another variant of the family occurs, referred to as parenthood without partnership . There is a robust literature on single parenthood among the highly disadvantaged (Damaske, Bratter, & Frech, 2017; Meier, Musick, Flood, & Dunifon, 2016; Stack & Meredith, 2018), though not on the creation of kinship networks. Naming practices (both first names and surnames) were often used to signify and reinforce paternal obligations, if a father was present.…”

This article discusses how kinship is construed and enacted in diverse forms of the family that are now part of the culturally pluralistic family system of Western societies. Background: This study is the second in a pair documenting changes over the past century in the meaning and practice of kinship in the family system of Western societies with industrialized economies.

“…These workers experience high levels of work-family conflict and insecurity due to severe competing demands on their time and consequently experience lower health outcomes. Stack and Meredith (2018) reported that single working parents experienced grinding poverty, psychological distress, and anxiety, even when employed on a full-time basis, because of their low hourly rates of pay. According to Danziger and Waters Booth (2008), although the non-work needs of low SES workers echo those of higher SES workers, they are less likely to be accommodated by employers due to the casual nature of the work.…”

This chapter reviews the multiple definitions of work-life balance, including definitions focused on the equity of time spent in the work and non-work domains, satisfaction with performance/time spent in each domain, and the salience of each role for an individual. There is a general consensus that a preferred definition should focus on work-life rather than work-family, in order to include non-family responsibilities and demands, such as study or travel commitments. The chapter also discusses the common antecedents and consequences of work-life balance arising from both work and non-work domains. These include work demands and resources, family demands and resources, and personality antecedents including evidence associating psychological capital constructs with work-life balance. Finally, this chapter considers the future directions for work-life balance research, focusing on technological advancements (e.g., Fitbits) and individual levels of mindfulness and resilience. The chapter concludes by noting the increasing evidence linking employee appointments and retention with an organization's positive work-life balance culture.
