Maureen Perry-Jenkins, our current CRF director and former Family Research Scholar, was interviewed by Andrew Keen for a segment on Keen On, offering key takeaways on her book Work Matters: How Parents’ Jobs Shape Children’s Well-Being. She shares outcomes from her research on working parents' impact on children's mental health, particularly focusing on low-income working-class families. Perry-Jenkins invites readers and listeners to reimagine the narrative around working-class jobs and consider the connection between happiness at work and happiness for the entire family.
