Better Life Lab

Our Story

The Better Life Lab aims to create a culture that enables people to combine work and life in meaningful ways in order for individuals and families to thrive across the arc of their lives. Through original research and policy analysis, practical solutions, and storytelling, we provide a blueprint to restructure the American workplace and shape family-supportive policies. We envision an America that is happier, healthier, and fairer in which people can make real choices about work and care without constraint, regardless of gender, or any other identities linked with unequal outcomes.

Formerly the Breadwinning & Caregiving Program, we at the Better Life Lab are policy entrepreneurs finding creative solutions to public problems; digging deeply into research, data and reporting to connect the dots; and telling the compelling stories that enlighten, inspire, and serve as calls to action.
