The Money Programme: Not-So-Fair Trade and Bye Bye Nine-to-Five - XB005/DVD08Two episodes from the popular BBC2 series.
Not-So-Fair Trade
When you buy a bag of fair-trade bananas you may be paying double the normal price, but at least you can feel that the extra is going into the pockets of hard-pressed workers in the third world. Or is it? How much of the money actually gets back to those in need? It seems that it could be as little as 4p. This programme investigates who gets what from the fair-trade mark-up.
Bye Bye Nine-to-Five
The city that never sleeps used to be a metaphor. Now we really do seem to be living in a world which is open around the clock. From 24 hour supermarkets and pubs to the long-hours culture of corporate lawyers, and even the city workers who are available 24 hours a day via their Blackberry, people are increasingly being asked to work around the clock. But what is the impact of the new 24-hour culture on our family life, our health and well-being?
