The recent political discussion of the “middle class squeeze” has emphasized themes of both economic opportunity and values. This event delved more deeply in the policies that address the stresses on modern families, as New America’s Work & Family Program presented its third event in a series entitled “The Stresses on 21st Century Families.”
This event series provided 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.
