But there is a stiff price being paid for this labor market flexibility. It separates workers from the social institutions -- family, long-term jobs, and stable communities -- that sustained economic expansions in the past and supported the growth and development of the next generation. This is exacerbated by the continuing movement of women into paid work, which puts a greater strain on the family's ability to care for and rear children. Unless government fosters the development of new, integrative institutions to support the new world of work, the book argues, the conditions required for long-term economic growth and social stability will be threatened. It concludes by laying out a framework for creating such institutions.
