title: The evolving American family.
abstract: The American family is undergoing constant changes that influence the work environment. The contrast between the U.S. parental support system and other industrialized nations is dramatic. Despite the fact that the United States has no mandated federal policy, a number of corporations are instituting their own policies because they believe family care and education are good business. Occupational health professionals are in a key position to take an active role in seeking to balance work and family issues.
