麻豆约拍

We ask whether gender makes a difference to how the coronavirus pandemic could impact you. A junior doctor in the UK points out that there isn't enough of the smaller size personal protection equipment to protect against coronavirus, most typically used by females, in the country. Clare Wenham from the London School of Economics talks us through a project she is leading researching the gendered impact of this virus, and previous ones. Caroline Criado Perez is author of Invisible Women: Exposing Data Bias in a World Designed for Men, and argues that women's voices in disaster recovery simply do not get heard. And Mary-Ann Stephenson, director of the independent policy network, the Women's Budget Group, discusses what might be needed to correct any imbalance. Also in the programme, the 麻豆约拍's Rob Young talks us through the latest economic developments in relation to the coronavirus crisis. Plus we have a report from San Francisco on how it is affecting workers in the gig economy there.
