MIT Stone Center on Inequality & Shaping Work
@mitshapingworkAbout
The James M. and Cathleen D. Stone Center on Inequality and Shaping the Future of Work at MIT analyzes the forces that contribute to growing income and wealth inequality through the erosion of job quality and labor market opportunities for workers without a college degree. We identify innovative ways to move the economy onto a more equitable trajectory by carrying out cutting-edge research, developing curricula, and convening students, scholars, policymakers, and practitioners.
