About This Program

Evolving family structures and the demands of the highly competitive global marketplace have put unprecedented pressures on American workers, their families and their employers. The Workforce and Family Program develops and promotes innovative, market-oriented solutions to help Americans succeed in their work and family commitments.

Through a Child Well-Being Project, Workforce and Family Building Project and Work and Life Balance Project, the program builds consensus around new ways to strengthen families and empower Americans with the skills and flexibility they need to succeed in today’s economy.
