Workers
across the globe compare experiences in BBC's All in a Day's Work
How
would the job of a therapist in Sierra Leone compare to that of
a therapist in Buenos Aires?
All
in a Day's Work from 14 May 2003 investigates. Each week three
professionals, with similar jobs but from different parts of the
world, share their experiences.
Through
audio diaries their lives are woven together, compared and contrasted
to give a fascinating insight into the similarities and differences
between their countries, their professions and themselves.
The
four-part series will feature taxi drivers in London, Johannesburg
and Trinidad; mental health workers in Sierra Leone, Bombay and
Buenos Aries; prison officers from Kazakhstan, Kenya and the United
States and journalists from Malaysia, Melbourne and Belgrade.
Dr
Edward Nahim is the only psychiatrist in Sierra Leone, a country
of more than five million.
Every
day he sees an average of 50 people. By contrast, in the Argentinian
capital Buenos Aires, there are more mental health workers than
almost everywhere else in the world.
Cabbies
from different corners of the globe share experiences of keeping
safe with a stranger in the car.
Reporters
from far and wide discuss how they cope with witnessing the vicious
carnage of military conflict and disaster and prison officers compare
the routines, challenges and tribulations of their working life,
including death row in the US.
All
in a Day's Work focusses on the remarkable stories of people's everyday
lives and reveals how much our jobs tell us about how our communities
work.
