Economic Inclusion for Families (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation)

Economic Inclusion for Families (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation) is sponsored by Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. This initiative envisions U.S. tax and caregiving systems that support caregivers, ensuring all families have the resources needed to raise thriving children.

The Foundation supports research and advocacy efforts to value caregiving and promote economic inclusion for all families, particularly those marginalized by systemic barriers.

Every Family Should Have the Opportunity to Make Healthy Choices | RWJF Economic Inclusion for Family Wellbeing HEALTHY CHILDREN & FAMILIES We must begin all of our efforts to transform systems and policies grounded in the question: What is best for children and families?

Prioritizing the wellbeing of families and creating a social contract that recognizes people for more than their workforce productivity can help build toward an inclusive economy. Through this kind of transformational change, we can create a brighter future that lifts all children and families. A Transformational Vision At RWJF, we are working to include all families in the economy now and for generations to come.

With many allies and partners, we are working toward a new vision—economic inclusion—that prioritizes and serves families. Economic inclusion means overcoming the legacy that undervalues caregivers. It means creating a new social contract that acknowledges our interdependence and recognizes that all families are deserving of wellbeing.

That will require institutions to recognize their own responsibility to support the caregivers who are raising the next generation, and to eliminate the structural and systemic barriers that have long excluded and marginalized some families.
