Women in work: making the transition to net zero fair for all - Ep26
About this episode
This episode discusses the implications of the transition to net zero for women in the workplace, particularly in light of lessons learned from COVID-19.
Action on net zero is a central tenet of governments, businesses and policy makers around the world, but what are the implications for women in the workplace? What lessons have we learned from COVID-19 that we can carry forward to make sure all women, especially those with childcare responsibilities and those from ethnic minorities, are better placed for the transition to net zero? In this episode, host Vayana Skabrin is joined by Priyanka Kanani and Divya Sridhar, Economists at PwC, to dive deeper into some of the more social and environmental angles of the 10th Women in Work Index.
