Upcoming Events: Double Duty:Solutions to the Work/Family Dilemma

A talk with Ann Crittenden, award-winning journalist and lecturer, and author of The Price of Motherhood

Wednesday, October 11, 2006, 10am to noon
Lang Student & Community Center, Arnhold Hall, 2nd floor
55 West 13th Street (between 5th and 6th avenues)

Parents who combine the uncompensated work of childcare with paid employment have two jobs, yet workplaces and government have done little to accommodate their dual roles. Why is domestic work unpaid? How does the U.S. compare to other countries in terms of work/family policy? How are women across the economic spectrum—especially single mothers—affected by the American approach? And how can it be changed?
