This morning I had the pleasure of attending a seminar hosted by the National Women's council of Ireland, entitled Bearing the Brunt? Women and the Recession.
A well packed room was treated to a fascinating discussion about the complete lack of any type of gender analysis from public debate about the recession and its impacts in Ireland.
Brilliantly, all the presentations have been made available on the NWCI website.
Enjoy and when reading through Thora Thorsdottir's compelling presentation about the comparable situation in Iceland, pay particular attention to the graph on slide 7 of 20 which highlights the disgraceful change in the real disposable earnings of SOME couples (lower income of course) between 2008 and 2009.
