Overview

Do we limit our thinking and focus only on short-term goals when we make trade-offs between career and family? This final meeting in our three-part series “Work & Family: Getting to 50/50” will use economic concepts to help broaden your thinking about the short- and long-term impacts of work and family decisions.

Meeting Goals

• Understand how career and family decisions impact the short and long-term well-being of you and your family
• Use economic principles to optimize your decision making, including when you calculate child-care costs, invest in your own human capital, and try to maximize efficiency at work

Pre-Meeting Prep

• Watch “The Economics of Well-Being” individually or as a group
• Send everyone the link to this meeting guide; if meetings are offline, remind them to bring the PDF version of it.
