A tale of one city: Women and the UK cost-of-living crisis

Description

Despite its historic reputation as a centre of education, power and wealth, Cambridge is the UK’s most unequal city. Like the rest of the country, many of its residents are suffering greatly from the nation's cost-of-living crisis but none more so than women and children. This as the number of food banks in the country now outnumber McDonald's outlets with a fast-growing number of working women becoming regular customers seeking donated food. In a special edition, Annette Young meets a cross-section of women whose lives have been dramatically impacted by a rapidly declining economy.

  • Why Authentic Handwoven Panama Hats May Not Be Long For This Earth

    Ecuadorean weavers in the Andean mountains have been making authentic Panama hats by hand for centuries. In fact, it takes a weaver an entire day to make just one hat--and earn just five US dollars. That's not enough to keep up with the cost of living. According to Business Insider, the traditional artisan craft is now in danger of disappearing into the fog of history. In the small village of Puzhio, for example, the number of hat weavers has dropped from 124 to just 25 in the past 15 years. Many have left the country in search of more lucrative--and less tedious--work. And those who remain have little faith that future generations will carry on the tradition.
