Mission
The mission of the California Labor Lab is to extend the pursuit of health and safety for workers in traditional employment to those in a wide range of alternative arrangements in partnership with affected communities. The Labor Lab is designed to document the extent to which these new forms of work are being used, to gauge their effect on the health of the working age population of the State, and to engage with workers, employers, and policymakers to mitigate these effects.
Collaborating Organizations
The CA Labor Lab is housed within the Philip R Lee Institute for Health Policy Studies. The Lab is a collaborative venture of investigators from several departments at UCSF and UC Berkeley, along with partners at the California Department of Public Health, UCLA School of Public Health, and Harvard University Kennedy School. The Lab is funded through the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Total Worker Health® program.
