Helping dual-earner families balance demands.One of the most significant changes affecting Extension's future programming thrusts is the number of women entering the labor force and the increase in dual-earner households.The number of dual-earner families has risen by almost 4.5 million, or 25%, in the last decade.1This trend points to the possibility that a large segment of the population will no longer be able to participate in Extension programs unless Extension changes its traditional delivery methods.Roles are changing so rapidly that many families are having trouble managing family and work responsibilities.2Employed individuals and couples can learn to balance the demands of home and work through educational seminars such as "The Balancing Act"developed by the Oklahoma State University Cooperative Extension Service.The stage is now set for improved home and work relationships-a contemporary issue needing attention today.
