About FWI

Families and Work Institute is a nonprofit center dedicated to providing research for living in today’s changing workplace, changing family and changing community.

Since the institute was founded in 1989, our work has tackled issues in four major areas: the workforce and workplace; education, care and community; parenting; and youth development.

Families and Work Institute’s research takes on emerging issues before they crest and includes some of the most comprehensive research on the U.S. workforce available.

The Institute’s work has helped change the language of debates to move the discussion forward toward more effective, and data-driven solutions, and to result in action.

In addition, because the Institute conducts some of the only research studies of their kind, our studies are quoted in the media every other day on average and are cited by decision makers in business, government, and the public.

In this section of our Web site, you will find information about Families and Work Institute’s mission, board and staff, as well as a list of frequently asked questions about the Institute and our work.
