Can 4 day weeks help with gender equity? - Alyssa Shaw, 4 Day Week Australia

In this episode we talk to Alyssa Shaw, Co-Founder and Campaign Director at 4 Day Week Australia, which was set up to help champion the shorter working week cause.

As well as discussing some of the broader benefits, Alyssa talks to some of the many ways that 4 day weeks could help with gender equity, including ensuring those who aren't able to work 5 days a week don't missed out on opportunities at their workplace, re-balancing the income vs. daycare fees equation, and broadening the pool of caregivers (who are currently predominantly female).
