麻豆约拍

There have been protests in Indonesia at a sweeping new law that weakens workers' rights. The country's president says the changes will help boost the economy, and we get reaction to the move from Dr Muhamad Chatib Basri, a former finance minister of Indonesia, who is also chairman of Bank Mandiri. And we hear how a coalition of some of the world's biggest asset managers have written to the government in Jakarta, expressing concern at elements of the legislation that could reduce protection of Indonesia's forests, from Marte Borhaug, global head of sustainable outcomes at Aviva Investors in the UK. Also in the programme, as global temperatures rise, we take a look at the impact on the workplace. Professor Vidhya Venugopal has been studying the impact of heat on workers in Chennai, India. Nicolas Maitre at the International Labour Organisation has been crunching the numbers on how heatwaves affect worker productivity. And we hear from Dr Jimmy Lee how heat became a massive issue for medical workers dealing with coronavirus. Plus, the 麻豆约拍's Dougal Shaw reports on how the pandemic has given rise to a wave of graduate entrepreneurs setting up their own companies.
