Product Description
Men are rarely found working in nurseries: 99% of childcare workers are women. Drawing on work with male and female nursery workers and parents of children at nursery, Men in the Nursery explores the experience of male childcare workers - how and why they enter the work, their relations with women workers, children and parents, their everyday work and practice. It examines the risk to children of employing men, and how children and workers can be protected from actual abuse and allegations of abuse. But the book is not just about men workers - it is a study of gender in the workforce, which compares the experience and views of men and women workers. What does the gendered workforce mean for how we understand childcare work? The authors argue that the invisibility of men in childcare reflects and perpetuates a wider invisibility of gender, and that gender issues - concerning children and parents, as well as staff - need to be made visible and the subject of discussion and reflection. Finally Men in the Nursery considers the case for employing more men, and what steps might be taken to achieve a more mixed gender workforce. This book will be essential reading for managers, policy-makers and other workers in child-care and education settings, as well as for students of child development and early years education.

Seller shipped by a very slow method and returned my email questions with a form letter that did not come close to answering my question as I had to submit it twice.
