Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Long description:
In this prescient book Sirin Sung brings together an array of expert contributors to address questions about gender equality and its relation to family, the workplace and society as a whole.
Chapters examine the issues surrounding work?family balance across the globe, considering dual earning families, the division of domestic labour and the impact of family policies on the labour market. The heterogeneous outcomes of childcare policies on motherhood and fatherhood are studied across a range of settings and populations, dissecting the impact of policies such as state-funded childcare and paid parental leave. Contributing authors emphasise the importance of developing gender-equal policies to encourage men?s involvement in care, combined with a shift in organisational culture to allow men to take parental leave, highlighting the crucial need to eradicate gender disparity in childcare and policy use.
Presenting a global perspective on gender norms and family policies, this book is invaluable for students and academics specialising in gender studies, family studies, social policy and sociology. Policymakers will also find the global comparison of family policies and gender beneficial.

?Spanning four continents, this book provides new insights into understanding work?family balance policies and gender equality in a wide range of welfare systems. The focus on countries not usually discussed in comparative literature is very welcome, as is the section exploring the effects of policies during and after COVID. The discussion is timely and forward-looking.?
