Gender Equality: Women in the Workplace

After the United Nations published its report on women's status in the global economy, we look at some of its conclusions and speak to tech company Dell about making a difference.

Earlier this week the United Nations published its flagship report into the status of women in the global economy. It painted a global picture in which women were, on average, paid less, working more and missing out on a pension. We speak to Aongus Hegarty, president of Europe, Middle East and Africa for Dell, about the steps he's taken to try and make a difference. Also, the 大象传媒's Julia Pittam reports from Paris a year after France introduced gender equality legislation. And, after Apple and Facebook offered female employees US$20,000 towards freezing their eggs, the 大象传媒's Reagan Morris reports on an egg-freezing party in Beverly Hills.
