Destinies Of The Disadvantaged : The Politics Of Teenage Childbearing

Attribution
Frank F. Furstenberg
Publication Details
Book, Russell Sage Foundation, 2007
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
Teen childbearing has risen to frighteningly high levels over the last four decades, jeopardizing the life chances of young parents and their offspring alike, particularly among minority communities. Although out-of-wedlock teen pregnancy rose notably between 1960 and 1990–a cause for concern given the burdens of single motherhood at a young age–this trend did not reflect a rise in the rate of overall teen pregnancies. In Destinies of the Disadvantaged, Furstenberg brings that tale to life with the perspective of a historian and the insight of an insider, and provides the straight facts needed to craft effective policies to address teen pregnancy.

Market Friendly Or Family Friendly? : The State And Gender Inequality In Old Age

Attribution
Madonna Harrington Meyer and Pamela Herd
Publication Details
Book, Russell Sage Foundation, 2007
Links
- Table of contents only
Description
Harrington Meyer and Herd contrast the impact of market friendly programs that maximize individual choice, risk, and responsibility with family friendly programs aimed at redistributing risks and resources. Just as important are policies such as universal preschool and paid family leave aimed at reducing the disadvantages women face during their working years. The gender gaps that women experience during their work and family lives culminate in income and health disparities between men and women during retirement, but the problem has received scant attention.

Description
Rigorously researched, Hunger: A Modern History draws together social, cultural, and political history in a novel way, to show us how we came to have a moral, political, and social responsibility toward the hungry. Vernon forcefully reminds us how many perished from hunger in the empire and reveals how their history was intricately connected with the precarious achievements of the welfare state in Britain, as well as with the development of international institutions, such as the United Nations, committed to the conquest of world hunger.
