Families are facing new challenges in today's 21st century economy. New America's Work & Family Program is presenting its fourth event in a series entitled "The Stresses on 21st Century Families." This event series will provide a venue for discussing the current state of American families, including their need for increased workplace flexibility to balance work and family commitments as well as new policy approaches for addressing the changing needs of working families. In this fourth event, "A New Agenda for Working Families," MIT's Tom Kochan, author of Working in America: A Blueprint for the New Labor Market, will present data on the economic status of today's families and propose an agenda for increasing family economic security.
