The World Economic forum warns it will take a generation longer to reach Gender Parity Due to the impact covid i9 has had on households. According to their Global Gender Gap report, the time required to close the gap on Current Trends will rise from from 99. 5 years to 135. 6 years. But not all nations are equal iceland remains the worlds most gender equal country. Joining me now is saadia zahidi, Managing Director of World Economic forum. Good morning and nice to see you again. This is a report that you have been looking into, Gender Equality for years and years and years, talking through at the difference the last 12 months have made. We can see there last 12 months have made. Can see there has been a massive impact in part because of the pandemic and in part because the regression of political participation across many large countries. Lastly, 100 years, now 136 years and what this means is that the rate of progress really slow down over the course of the last year. Its not surprising. We have seen a roll back in the home where care responsibilities have fallen on women particularly as schools were closed in many parts of the world, nearly1 billion schoolchildren were out of schoolchildren were out of school at some point and therefore care responsibility really became something that working parents had to take on differently. And of course there is what is happening structurally across the economy, the sectors that got impacted the most happen to be the sectors that employ fairly large numbers of women, the travel and tourism Around The World, big employer of women. Retail and consumer sector, big employer of women. That is where you are authorising the heat come through over the last year.

Talk about what can be done about this year. Talk about what can be done about this because year. Talk about what can be l done about this because when you look at different parts of the world, Western Europe is the world, Western Europe is the best performing region, so there it will take just over 52 years to close the gap, which sounds a little bit more encouraging. What needs to be done, and where, in order to accelerate the closure of the gap . Accelerate the closure of the. A. . Accelerate the closure of the. A. . ,. ,. ,. , accelerate the closure of the.

On the Public Policy side, there are two critical factors i there are two critical factors and one of them is what makes you rip stronger than other areas . Which is the care and infrastructure available. So parts of the world where there is a strong care infrastructure, strong care economy, are doing better than others. Governments need to invest in that, particularly as they look towards recovery because it is also a big jump creating sector. The second area is taking more strategic approach is to preparing workers for the future of work and then applying the gender script to that. Many countries are now thinking about the redeployment that needs to happen for workers that are either at risk or have been completely displaced from their role, they are thinking about skilling accounts, providing help and training, providing help and training, providing help and training, providing help and re employment. That will not work if we do not apply a gender lens duets and women tend to be casted in certain segments of the economy and men in other segments the economy and we know that the highrollers of the future will be the one that has similar pipelines of women particularly when it comes to science and technology, engineering and maths related skills. Governments will have to apply a different lens and then there is the responsibility of the private sector, of the employers, they have to think differently. If they want the kind of productivity and innovation that will get them out of the crisis, they have to put this on diversity and that includes gender diversity.

Later today, the us president will begin laying out his proposals for fixing the aging, underfunded infrastructure in the worlds biggest economy. Joe biden will outline the first part of some 3 to 4 Trillion Dollars in spending over the next 10 years devoted to fixing the countrys crumbling roads, transport, Sewage Systems and other essential links. Lets talk this through with chris beauchamp, chief market analyst at ig. Nice to see you, chris. This has been promised for a very, very long time and today we will get details, what is on the radar of the president , do you think . You think . The main focus is auoin to you think . The main focus is going to be you think . The main focus is going to be this you think . The main focus is going to be this push you think . The main focus is going to be this push to you think .

I think the Administration View is now the best time because economy needs the Stimulus Spending to get it back on its feet, a new deal similar to the one from the 19305, similar to the one from the 1930s, to really provide a boost to get them out of the covid induced recession slump, so were looking at transport, on water, Mining Reclamation and joe biden getting senators on board and a whole range of issues to get the 9 billion programme backup. Is a issues to get the 9 billion programme backup. Is a huge visit economy, programme backup. Is a huge visit economy, creating programme backup. Is a huge visit economy, creating jobs, | visit economy, creating jobs, but the problem is how will it get paid for and republicans are saying we must not raise taxes. How will they overcome that argument on capitol hill . They are going to try for not raising personal taxes, merely Corporation Taxes and that was the first move. The other meat is a ken tried towards a Reconciliation Bill where you only need a 50 50 majority in the senate and they only have a wafer thin majority and if they can find that way, then in a slightly less obvious way to get it through in order to make this Stimulus Path and there is a sense it has to go through regardless of a republican opposition. Tax cuts by the Previous Administration is a better way, the republicans will say and you cannotjUst Throw Money at it.

The uk saw some exceptional warmth on tuesday, and if your day ended looking Something Like this with a sunset with a pinkish tinge, you were not mistaken. That is saharan dust affecting the way our skies look and that is because weve pulled air all the way up from the sahara to import the warmth. Its travelled across Western Europe, and on tuesday it made its way right the way into the north of scotland, that warm air. The warmest spot was at 24. 5 celsius and that was at kew gardens in west london. There is the possibility on wednesday we could see a similar high, somewhere probably across central or Eastern England but a little bit more cloud as possible, too. There could be the Odd Light Shower and that could just peg the temperatures back by a degree or so, but still very warm for england and wales. Further to the north though, a front beginning to push South Across Scotland and northern ireland, weakening as it does so, it wont bring too much in the way of rain. Its drier for Western Scotland but cooler air moves in to the north and then that weakening weather front and the cooler air continue to try and make their Journey South as we look to thursday. Basically, the front nothing more than cloud by thursday, but the colder air already starting to make itself felt out to the north and east of the uk. The High Pressure will keep things pretty quiet as we head into the easter weekend. Largely light winds, a lot of fine weather, but the big difference will be where you have the sunshine it wont feel anywhere near as warm as it has done on tuesday, particularly if you, for example, compare aberdeen from tuesday, where temperatures got up to 18 celsius. Well be lucky to get eight on thursday. Still, 18 or 19 possible though across south wales and the south west of england. By friday, that colder air though has worked its way further westwards. We could see some quite stubborn cloud across eastern counties of england as well and quite a chilly northerly or north easterly breeze. I say chilly. The temperatures, well, about where wed expect them for the time of year. Look out for a frost, particularly to the north, on friday night. Easter weekend, it stays chilly but look at this for easter monday. It is a plunge of arctic air, raw feeling air, strong northerly winds, and this is the Weather Chart at the moment for easter monday. It may change a little but that signal is pretty clear there. There is a risk of snow showers, even a good way south, across the uk at the end of the easter weekend.
