It’s been a tough two years for women. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, women were hit harder by job losses, leading many to call it a “she-cession”. But as the pandemic worse on we started to see wider impacts too. We saw women on the front line of the crisis response, making up 75% of the workforce in health and social care. Women were taking on more work at home due to school and childcare closures. We saw women feeling more isolated from social network.

We also saw a shadow pandemic – the rise in domestic violence as lockdowns trapped women with abusive partners. These took their toll. After two years, more than 40% of women in Europe were reporting that the pandemic had a major negative impact on their mental health. These cumulative effects are what we call the Great Exhaustion. What about women entrepreneurs and how should local governments deal with the great exhaustion and support women with care responsibilities?

Rapossa - Shanti (Goldcap Remix)

Speaker(s): Vince Cable, Howard Davies, Angel Gurria | Now in its 50th year, the OECD has established itself as the leading international economic organisation for socio-economic analysis, best practice policy based on peer review, benchmarking and internationally comparable indicators and statistics. Its achievements have made a major contribution to both economic development within its membership and global economic issues. Bringing together business, think–tanks, academia, government and the media, the seminar will address the economic challenges facing policy makers working to transition the world economy from crisis to a period of strong, sustainable and balanced growth. The seminar will also foster a debate on future challenges that tomorrow’s economic policy makers will face, as the OECD looks forward to the next 50 years. Wed, 16 Mar 2011 10:30:00 GMT

OECD at 50, Better Policies for Better Lives: Growth, Skills and Jobs [Audio]

If you’re scratching your head over stuck wages and dwindling job benefits, massive corporate outsourcing is one place to look. David Weil, author of The Fissured Workplace, explains how companies’ use of indirect contractors is one reason wages aren’t going up. David Weil is the Dean and Professor at Brandeis University’s Heller School of Social Policy and Management. He served as US Wage and Hour Administrator at the Department of Labor during the last three years of the Obama administration.
