Labor and employment policy is a key structural driver of population health, shaping working and living conditions and access to essential resources. This event explored how labor market changes—such as automation, gig work, and evolving policy—impact health. Speakers examined responses to emerging threats like pandemics and climate challenges, including heat and smoke. The event also addressed occupational policies affecting people with disabilities, the future of employment-based insurance, and strategies to promote health, well-being, and economic stability across workforce sectors.
