The Insight Center provided research and consultation to a coalition of job training and family support organizations in San Francisco’s Chinatown.  We helped the group identify structural barriers that prevent Chinese parents from accessing self-sufficiency wages and career advancement.  We also analyzed existing gaps in family support and employment-related services needed to overcome those barriers so that the collaboration could design new, more effective programs.
