'Based on data collected from nearly 3,000 employed partnered parents across 10 diverse countries, Project 3535 represents a significant contribution to the study of cross-national work-family issues.

This volume is a must have for any researcher interested in cross-cultural research collaborations.' -Tammy D. Allen, Department of Psychology, University of South Florida, USA 'The Work-Family Interface in Global Context represents a culmination of years of exemplary cross-cultural collaborative research on the cultural and social/organizational policy underpinnings of the operation of the work-family interface. The book is unique in its comprehensiveness of coverage, methodological rigor and approaches, and the integrated theoretical framework which underpins the chapters. It is a delightfully rich source of intellectual wealth to students of cross-cultural/international management and of actionable knowledge to organizations and policy makers concerned to enhance the well-being of their employees and citizens.' -Samuel Aryee, Surrey Business School, University of Surrey, UK 'This is an outstanding exemplar of work-family research across cultures.
