overnight by the university of wisconsin population health institute shows the wage many people earn does not nearly cover the amount needed for basic necessities. researchers found a typical household with one adult and two kids needs to make $35.80 an hour to cover food, housing, health care and child care costs, yet the federal minimum wage is a far lower $7.25 an hour. >> in some places it would take a 200% increase for the average wage to meet the living wage. >> reporter: the study also found a growing gender pay gap. women earn about 80 cents on the dollar less for the same work. to earn the average annual salary of a white man, a white woman must work three more months to make the same amount. a black woman must work seven more months, and a hispanic woman must work nearly ten more months. >> it's important that we take steps to close the gender gap so that women can meet their full potential. can create economic security for themselves and for their families and for their communities. >> reporter: the study also found child care has become a major drain on the resources of a

readings course at the university of north carolina in 1993. by this time the book was already a classic on its face. it filled lacuna in the history of black women in the united states, but it was much more than that the political context into which labor of love was published had strikingly striking similarities to what we see today. reaganomics had created an economically and racially post-polarized society the african-american so called welfare queen was a common trope of reagan and the republican party in their efforts to eradicate social welfare programs. this crass political rhetoric had antecedence going back to daniel patrick moynihan in the 1960s and was receiving renewed attention from scholars like charles murray. the ideas of black social pathology and lazy mothers was deeply entrenched in america and seemingly gaining ground even in the academy. professor jones's book confronted race sex and class prejudice head-on not through polemics or the twisted data of economists and sociologists, but rather through deeply research study of

earlier i spoke to professor linda bauld, behvioural scientist at the university of edinburgh. it's an interesting study, it's also a large study, so the researchers from the university of toronto looked from march 2020 right up to march of this year and used global data sets for mortality rates. it hasn't, as you probably know, been published. it is non—peer reviewed, it is being presented at a conference, but they are looking at what we call the weekend effect which is actually well—established and i think they found about a 6% rise in mortality at the weekend compared to weekdays and about 11% in the uk, higher in some other countries. what we have seen over the years is from other studies looking at people admitted for other conditions, you also see what we call it a weekend effect, there is one systematic review in 2018 that looked at that in detail and that was just a uk studies and found pretty good evidence that it does exist. we don't fully understand the reasons. it could be that, for example, people wait a bit longer to go into hospital, towards the weekend or it
