Abstract

Work-Family Justice is a key organizing concept centering intellectual and policy work that call attention to tensions and challenges in work and family integration, and that highlight key solutions. This special issue extends knowledge about structural, cultural, historical, and political (including geopolitical) oppressions that inform the range of diverse work-family conflict complexities and presents building blocks to sustain healthier work and family lives. Work-family justice allows for safe, decent, and meaningful work, supported care for dependents, and strong family relations though the life course. It addresses inequalities between and across groups and cultures. We build upon earlier rigorous scholarship ascertaining the best supports for a healthy and fulfilled workforce and populace, which can advance equality and profit national wellbeing. The special issue highlights exceptional individual research studies, that -- as a whole -- elevates work-family scholarship and the solutions that can enhance work-family justice.
