Would You Let Your Employer Freeze Your Eggs?

BBC World Service - Business Matters, Would You Let Your Employer Freeze Your Eggs?

Apple offers to freeze female workers' eggs.

Is Apple's offer to freeze female employees' eggs is a good thing, and do plastic bags beat paper in the environmental stakes?

Colin Peacock at Radio New Zealand and Paddy Hirsch at our US sister programme, Marketplace, join Roger Hearing to discuss whether Apple's offer to freeze female employees' eggs is a good thing, and whether plastic bags beat paper in the environmental stakes.  From Gaza we're joined by Hatem Hassouna whose cement factory was destroyed during Operation Protective Edge.  He now faces the task of rebuilding the family business for the third time.  Guess the TV theme tune.  We play a medley of favourites from the US and challenge you to guess the shows before Roger gives the game away.  Plus Tamasin Ford reports from Burkina Faso where an entrepreneurial artisan has developed a method of making furniture from recycled plastic containers.
