Download or read book The Labour Market Ate My Babies written by Barbara Pocock and published by Federation Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Listed in top 50 Management Books for 2006 in the Australian Financial Review BOSS magazine, January 2007, Volume 8.In The Labour Market Ate My Babies Barbara Pocock, acclaimed author of The Work/Life Collision, examines the impact of modern working life on our children. In this book, young Australians from all over the country, city and the bush, rich and poor, talk about the good and bad of parental work - the trade off between money and time, consumer riches versus time for each other. Pocock argues that the modern labour market is having a huge impact on today's youth and eating into our capacity to care. Children have become a 'market'. Caring for kids and selling to kids is big business, as stressed, time-poor parents struggle to care for their children and salve their guilt with presents and pocket money. How will this future generation of workers weigh up the labour market and organise their lives? The Labour Market Ate My Babies argues that a sustainable future requires new policy approaches to work that incorporate the perspectives of children. We should:ensure that parents get the time they need away from work when they need it help parents get a good fit between how they want to work, and how they have to provide quality, low cost, public childcare options stop advertising to kids in ways that stimulate an early work/spend cycle.It's good to get money coming in and probably it's good to work as hard as you can when you're younger so when you're older you can retire with some money. But there should probably be a limit to how much before your relationships with other people start to strain because you are never there (Adam, 16)

Download or read book Parental Influence on Child Social and Emotional Functioning written by Xiaoqin Zhu and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-03-20 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Social and emotional functioning (interpersonal interactions, social adjustment, emotional well-being, and mental health) among children and adolescents has drawn growing attention from academics, practitioners, parents, educators, and policymakers. Worldwide, it is agreed that social and emotional development is a result of individual-context interactions. Particularly, socialization perspectives regard parenting as the primary factor that shapes child and adolescent development to a large extent. Meanwhile, the ecological perspective highlights the bi-directional nature of interactions between children and parents by which they affect each other. Parenting can be parents’ active socialization actions that influence their children’s development (i.e., parent effect); it can also be parents’ reactions to their children’s social and emotional functioning (i.e., child effect).

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Psychology and Romantic Relationships written by Todd Kennedy Shackelford and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 865 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Evolutionary social science is having a renaissance. This volume showcases the empirical and theoretical advancements produced by the evolutionary study of romantic relationships. The editors assembled an international collection of contributors to trace how evolved psychological mechanisms shape strategic computation and behavior across the lifespan of a romantic partnership. Each chapter provides an overview of historic and contemporary research on the psychological mechanisms and processes underlying initiation, maintenance, and dissolution of romantic relationships. Contributors discuss popular and cutting-edge methods for data analysis and theory development, critically analyse the state of evolutionary relationship science, and provide discerning recommendations for future research. The handbook integrates a broad range of topics (e.g., partner preference and selection, competition and conflict, jealousy and mate guarding, parenting, partner loss and divorce, and post-relationship affiliation) that are discussed alongside major sources of strategic variation in mating behavior, such as sex and gender diversity, developmental life history, neuroendocrine processes, technological advancement, and culture. Its content promises to enrich students' and established researchers' views on the current state of the discipline and should challenge a diverse cross-section of relationship scholars and clinicians to incorporate evolutionary theorizing into their professional work"--
