Summary
This concluding chapter provides a forward look at cross-cultural work-family research through the lens of answering the basic questions of who, what, when, where, why, and how. We discuss the importance of who researchers are studying and to what extent our knowledge is generalizable. Issues surrounding what researchers are actually studying and the unique importance of this seemingly simple issue in cross-cultural settings are described as well. The notion of time, and its accompanying dynamics are offered as complex opportunities to better understand the context of when research is conducted as well as temporal issues throughout the lifespan. We encourage future research to continue to intentionally select countries and contexts where research is conducted, while also filling in important regional gaps identified throughout the world. Lastly, we call on researchers to reimagine how they conduct these important endeavors and encourage the use of novel methods and strategies.
