The Oxford Handbook of Work and Family: Part 6: Chapter 26: Considering Underrepresented Populations in Work and Family Research

Details

• Personal Author:

• Description:
  In this chapter we discuss the ways in which work-family researchers can better include underrepresented populations in work-family scholarship. Extant research on five example populations is reviewed: low-income workers; immigrants; lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender individuals; single parents; and formerly incarcerated individuals. Methodological challenges are reviewed that contribute to the underrepresentation of such populations in the work-family field. In conclusion, we draw themes common among these populations and present recommendations for expanding work-family research to include more diverse population characteristics.
