These fields offer an unusual opportunity for cooperative scientific effort because of the very comprehensiveness of their problems. The council's first investigations in these fields were initiated by Wesley C. Mitchell. In the spring of 1931 an interim committee on consumption and leisure was appointed under the chairmanship of the present writer. 2 Very early In the committee's work it became apparent that an intelligent appraisal of the research needs In this area of investigation must begin by ascertaining what has already been discovered concerning consumption through the many studies of family living made In the United States and In other countries.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →In this accessible, engaging, and up-to-date course book, Susan L. Brown employs ethnographic vignettes and demographic data to introduce students to twenty-first century perspectives on contemporary families. Appropriate as a primary or secondary text in classes on family and marriage, this book probes momentous shifts in the definition of family, such as the legalization of same-sex marriage and policy debates on welfare reform and work-family issues. Brown also explores the rise in nonmarital childbearing and single-mother families and the decline of “traditional” marriage by delving into the historical roots of family change, current trends of family formation and dissolution, and the implications of family change for the well-being of adults and children. With a lens toward socioeconomic inequality and racial-ethnic variation in family patterns, Families in America illustrates how family diversity is now the norm. The Sociology in the Twenty-First Century series introduces students to a range of sociological issues of broad interest in the United States today, with each volume addressing topics such as family, race, immigration, gender, education, and social inequality. These books—intended for classroom use—will highlight findings from current, rigorous research and demographic data while including stories about people’s experiences to illustrate major themes in an accessible manner.
