After the economic downturn, which way is up?

BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, After the economic downturn, which way is up?

After the economic downturn, which way is up? Is the recession really over for women?

After the economic downturn, which way is up? Jenni Murray and guests discuss if the recession is over for women.

On Friday 31st January Woman's Hour and You & Yours will combine for two outside broadcasts examining the impact of the recession and the strength of the current recovery. For Woman's Hour Jenni Murray will be live from a food bank, surprisingly located in the relatively affluent suburb of Timperley in Cheshire. She's joined by guests to discuss if the recession is over for women and also to meet people for whom the economic downturn has brought a new lease of life. At noon Peter White will be in Liverpool at the new Central Library. The Library has been built in partnership with private funding and the City Council is committed to fund it - meaning there is even less money for other council priorities. 

Presenter:Jenni Murray
Producer: Bernadette McConnell.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
