abstract: 'In the second decade of the 21st century, research on work and family

  from multiple disciplines flourished. The goal of this review is to

  capture the scope of this work-family literature and to highlight both

  the valuable advances and problematic omissions. In synthesizing this

  literature, the authors show that numerous scholars conducted studies

  and refined theories that addressed gender, but far fewer examined

  racial and class heterogeneity. They argue that examining heterogeneity

  changes the understanding of work-family relations. After briefly

  introducing the broad social, political, and economic context in which

  diverse work-family connections developed, this review uses this context

  to address the following three main themes, each with subtopics: (a)

  unpaid work including housework, parenting as work, and kin work; (b)

  paid work including work timing and hours, money (i.e., motherhood

  penalty, fatherhood bonus, marriage bonus, kin care penalty),

  relationships (i.e., coworkers, supervisors), and work experiences

  (i.e., complexity, autonomy, urgency); and (c) work-family policies

  (i.e., scheduling and child care). Given the breadth of the work-family

  literature, this review is not exhaustive but, rather, the authors

  synthesize key findings on each topic followed by a critique, especially

  with regard to the analyses of differences and inequalities around

  gender, race, ethnicity, and social class.'
