Gender Equality: Women in the Workplace

Business Daily

Available for over a year

Earlier this week the United Nations published its flagship report into the status of women in the global economy. It painted a global picture in which women were, on average, paid less, working more and missing out on a pension. We speak to Aongus Hegarty, president of Europe, Middle East and Africa for Dell, about the steps he's taken to try and make a difference. Also, the BBC's Julia Pittam reports from Paris a year after France introduced gender equality legislation. And, after Apple and Facebook offered female employees US$20,000 towards freezing their eggs, the BBC's Reagan Morris reports on an egg-freezing party in Beverly Hills.
