Jomfest arrives just weeks after the launch of Unease, the new book by sociologist Teo You Yenn. Unease asks why, in a society that is loudly “pro-family”, work-life balance remains so elusive and parents so anxious. Drawing from in-depth interviews, it captures the everyday contours and rhythms of family life, explores how kiasu parents are made, and investigates the myriad ways in which inequality is a feature of life in contemporary Singapore. You Yenn will be in conversation with Pooja Bhandari, founder of EveryChild.SG.
