WorkLife Law Blog

WorkLife Law is delighted to announce that we’ve received a generous new grant from the W.K. Kellogg Foundation to expand our work on issues of work/family conflict across class. The grant will allow us to further document how work/family conflict affects low-wage workers and working-class families, building upon our recently released report, The Three Faces of Work-Family Conflict: The Poor, the Professionals, and the Missing Middle (jointly published by WorkLife Law and the Center for American Progress). With the support of the Kellogg Foundation, we will conduct new research and writing on how work-family conflict is a major driver of the poverty that many low-income families experience, to add work/life issues to conversations around poverty advocacy. We will also convene a working group of advocates and social scientists to cull the latest research and develop best practices for workplace flexibility in hourly and low-wage jobs. Our great thanks to the Kellogg Foundation for their support.
