Barriers to an inclusive economy
Over the last 75 years, a growing global economy enabled billions to lift themselves out of poverty, fueled material prosperity, and drove improvements in health, literacy, nutrition, and innovation. While one may think this granted economic advancement for all, a deeper look shows that not all people have had equal opportunity for economic growth.
During COVID-19, Black & Latinx families have experienced higher rates of job loss and rent payment difficulties.
Only 50% of today's children will outearn their parents.
Since 1979, the bottom 10% of workers saw a 4% wage growth.
Workers don't believe the government will prepare them for the future of work.
What we do to help build an inclusive government
CPI's inclusive economies portfolio focuses on equitable & just COVID-19 recovery and pathways to individual & community wealth. We work with partners to build inclusive economies by:
Training and capacity building: We equip public servants with new ways of thinking and working, in line with our vision for reimagined government.
Listening and engagement: We engage with cities and residents to better understand lived experiences and raise voices.
Place-based collective action: We build bridges between residents and public servants to better address unique community needs.
Learning networks: We convene, design, and manage networks, enabling changemakers to learn from one another.
Our work in action
CPI provided consulting and advisory support on a future of work project for excluded, high-barrier populations to inform policy and call to actions for public, private and social sectors.
CPI conducted a six-month research effort alongside a major philanthropic partner to identify strategies to bring prosperity to distressed places, improve the quality of work, and re-skill the next generation.
