Not Your Grandparents’ Workforce: How Regulation Can Harm Millennials
Event Speakers
With millennials now making up the largest generation in the US workforce, studies have shown that they have different preferences on how to work and live. For instance, while previous generations preferred stability and work-life balance, millennials place higher value on flexibility and work-life integration. The question then arises, are many of the current workforce policies out of step with the employment evolution millennials desire?
The Mercatus Center at George Mason University invites you to join us for a Regulation University event featuring:
- Liya Palagashvili, Assistant Professor of Economics, SUNY-Purchase College
- Jared Meyer, Fellow, Manhattan Institute
- Christopher Koopman, Research Fellow, Mercatus Center
The panelists will discuss:
- The employment and entrepreneurial opportunities millennials value;
- How traditional regulatory policies are creating barriers to entry in the job market; and
- The influence that regulatory accumulation is having on entrepreneurs and start-ups.
Space is limited. Please register online for this event.
This educational discussion is planned in accordance with House Committee on Ethics’ exception for Educational Events and is open to all congressional and federal agency staff.
Lunch will be provided. Please contact Jen Campbell with any dietary restrictions. Due to space constraints, please no interns.
