Work-Life Policies for the Twenty-First Century Economy

Tuesday, June 10, 2008 | Margy's Blog & Updates

In a new report released this week, The Mobility Agenda finds that the U.S. economy, workplace, workforce, and labor market have changed radically in the last 50 years, yet public and private policies have not kept up with these changes.

In the report, the authors review the evidence regarding work-life conflicts, the economic case for policy initiatives, and effectiveness of the policy options. 

“No single policy will meet all needs, which is why we recommend a menu of policy solutions to address changes in workforce, living arrangements, and society,” explains Margy Waller, Executive Director of The Mobility Agenda. The authors, Heather Boushey, Layla Moughari, Sarah Sattelmeyer, and Margy Waller present a clear explanation of the policy options and make specific recommendations for decision-makers.
