We combine the ideas, talents, and resources of the public, private, and nonprofit sectors to address income and information inequality. Through the Aspen Partnership for an Inclusive Economy (APIE), we’re uniting Institute experts with a diverse range of public, private and non- profit leaders to help reconstruct our global economy so it drives greater security, opportunity and resilience for all. We’re convening changemakers — from local youth and tribal groups to small and growing businesses to national labor organizations and global corporations — to set new and higher standards for responsible private sector leadership. And we’re connecting people realizing breakthroughs at the community level with those crafting policy at the national and global level, to ensure widespread policy change is informed by what works and what is just.

This Labor Day, Matt Helmer from The Aspen Institute Economic Opportunities Program presents an important reminder: to reflect on the sacrifices and contributions of American workers and the need to address the economic disparities they face. In his article for Fast Company, Matt highlights how our current system often undervalues workers' efforts while disproportionately rewarding capital owners. One promising path forward is employee ownership, which can help rebalance the risks and rewards in our economy. Explore potential solutions and supporting economic policies for creating a fairer distribution of risks and rewards for everyone, not just a few: https://lnkd.in/g-v-3EJm #LaborDay #EmployeeOwnership #EconomicEquity #JobQuality
