The goal of the Center on Business and Poverty, an initiative of the Wisconsin School of Business, is to support and disseminate high-quality research into ways in which businesses can help globally improve the long-term economic stability and well-being of their low-income employees. The Center also monitors and evaluates the efforts of businesses to address issues around 1)compensation and benefits for employees; and 2)environmental practices. Of these priorities, the Center focuses most on cooperating with and actively disseminating information to companies to help them make changes in their policies and practices related to low-income employees. One of the main priorities, presently, for the Center concerns helping the children of low-income employees access financial aid for college.
