**Daniel Schneider** is the Malcolm Wiener Professor of Social Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School and Professor of Sociology in FAS at Harvard University. He is co-director of [The Shift Project](http://shift.hks.harvard.edu/). His research is at the intersection of inequality, labor, social demography, and social policy. His current work examines the causes, contours, and consequences of precarious working conditions and leverages novel survey data and stakeholder partnerships to understand how labor standards and high-road company practices can improve working conditions, economic security, and the well-being of workers and their families.
