The mission of the Berkeley Center on Health, Economic & Family Security (Berkeley CHEFS) is to address the increasing insecurity faced by American workers and families through the development of integrated and interdisciplinary policy solutions.
The economic security of American families is a growing national concern but policy proposals to address the needs of working families with regard to health security, economic security, and work-family balance are too often advanced separately. With faculty experts in law, social welfare, public health, political science, public policy, medicine, and economics, Berkeley CHEFS initiates robust dialogue and research aimed at developing policy recommendations to assist the engineering of legislative, institutional, and regulatory reforms. Berkeley CHEFS’ programmatic goals include:
- Increasing health security through promoting universal health coverage and improved care delivery at the national, state, and local levels;
- Developing better protections for workers who are on voluntary or involuntary leave from their jobs; and
- Supporting working families in a flexible workplace.
