The Labor and Worklife Program (LWP) is Harvard University’s forum for research and teaching on the world
of work and its implications for society. Located at the Harvard Law School, the LWP brings together scholars
and policy experts from a variety of disciplines to analyze critical labor issues in the law, economy, and society.
The LWP also provides unique education for labor leaders throughout the world via the oldest executive
training program at Harvard University, the Harvard Trade Union Program, founded in 1942.
As a multidisciplinary research and policy network, the LWP organizes projects and programs that seek to
understand critical changes in labor markets and labor law, and to analyze the role of unions, business, and
government as they affect the world of work. By engaging scholars, students, and members of the labor
community, the program coordinates legal, educational, and cultural activities designed to improve the quality
of work life.
