The Future of Worker Financial Security - The Nexus of Work and Benefits

Explore the complex relationship between work arrangements, benefit provisions, and financial security for American workers in this illuminating webinar from the Aspen Institute Financial Security Program and WorkRise. Delve into research findings that challenge the notion that employment alone guarantees financial stability, particularly for low- and moderate-income workers, Black and other workers of color, women, and young adults. Examine the disparities in financial outcomes based on job types and benefit packages, and understand why full-time work with comprehensive benefits is becoming increasingly scarce. Investigate potential policy and business solutions to create alternative pathways for achieving worker financial security, including the development of interoperable public and private benefits systems. Gain insights into the pressing need for innovative approaches to improve financial stability across America, especially in light of ongoing economic challenges and the impact of the pandemic.
