The Project on Global Working Families is a research unit
founded by Professor Jody Heymann at Harvard and McGill Universities and co-directed by Dr. Alison Earle.
The Project on Global Working Families
is the first program devoted to understanding and improving the relationship
between working conditions and family health and well-being throughout the
world.
- A Work, Family, and Equity
Index has been developed to measure how
governments throughout the world meet the needs of working families.
The progress of nations is gauged by examining their performance in
implementing a set of essential public policies.
|
- The first truly global
investigation of the experience of working families is underway, combining
country-level household surveys
with in-depth interviews
of working caregivers, employers, and professionals in the fields of
healthcare and education.
|
- A rigorous examination of the impact of
working conditions on adult employment, children’s development,
elder care and family health in the United States
has turned up striking findings that also address issues of poverty,
inequality, and disparities across gender and class lines.
|
- Our advisory work with policy makers and
organization leaders in the United States and globally encompasses a range of issues that affect individuals, families, and
societies.
