Evidence to Action: Reimagining Workplaces with Young Mothers
Our solution advances an evidence-to-action model that elevates young mothers as researchers and works with employers to create thriving workplaces.
More than one-third of young mothers (had a child before 25) are disconnected from the workforce due to barriers such as inflexible workplaces and caregiving demands. Our evidence-to-action project engages young mothers as research partners to develop an innovative workplace model, convenes national stakeholders to validate evidence and strengthen employer case-making, and tests our model with 10 employers. We aim to improve young mothers' economic stability, and our approach will help other women thrive too.
