TL;DR: The 500 Family Study was designed to obtain in-depth information on middle class, dual-career families living in the United States as mentioned in this paper, and the study's data allows researchers to explore a broad range of questions, including: how do dual career families manage and organize their resources and time between family and work?; how do work conditions, including characteristics of the job and workplace environment, affect the quality of relationships among household members?; How do the dual career parents manage the moral and social development and learning experiences of their children.
