We ask if COVID-19 is causing a 'shecession' as the Pandemic disproportionately hits women - two-thirds of jobs lost in 2020 were those done by women.

On Talking Business, we ask if COVID-19 is causing a 'shecession' as the Pandemic disproportionately hits women - two-thirds of jobs lost in 2020 were those done by women, hitting the female workforce across both rich and poor nations, the UN has warned. Baroness Helena Morrissey, Founder of the 30% Club, and Executive Director of UN Women Phumzile Mlambo Ngcuka explain how companies and political leaders can act to stop decades of gender equality gains being erased. Also on the show, we speak to the boss of flat-pack furniture giant Ikea about how businesses can help rebuild a more sustainable and equitable economy.
