Reviews

An interesting book ... Hakim does focus on an increasingly important issue, which will exercise policy-makers in the years ahead. * Robert Taylor, Financial Times * A compelling book, original in its approach and its theoretical development ... An important contribution of Work-Lifestyle Choices in the 21st Century comes in the consideration Hakim gives to the implications of preference theory for the impact of public policies on women's (and men's) choices about employment, family, and the combination of the two. * Population and Development Review *
