Will spending cuts mean the return of the male breadwinner?
According to the Women's Budget Group, a group of almost 100 female academics and policymakers, cuts to public services are pushing the fight for gender equality into reverse. The Women's Budget Group have published a gender impact assessment, which they’ll present to Parliament’s Women’s Income Network this week. So does the Spending Review impact on women unfairly? And could women lose their financial independence as a result? Jenni speaks to Professor Susan Himmelweit from the Women’s Budget Group, and to Jill Kirby from the Centre For Policy Studies.

Autism and funding
As a result of the 2009 Autism Act, the Secretary of State for Health will issue statutory guidance for local authorities and local health bodies on supporting the needs of adults with autism. However, in a new report, 'Changing Lives, A Report on the Autism Voluntary Sector', autism charities are concerned the strategy won't have an impact. Nearly 40% of them are going to have to cut services - and respite care, play and leisure services will be the first to go. For many families these are the very services that provide a lifeline. Jenni discusses the issues with Sarah Hedley, author of the report; Jan Greenman, a mother whose son Luke has autism, and Carol Povey, Director, Centre for Autism, The National Autistic Society.
