Much of the world is suffering a cost of living crisis, the twin shocks of the coronavirus pandemic and the war in Ukraine mean the cost of food and energy is rising faster than it has for decades in many parts of the world.

Aaron Heslehurst also hears from the CEO of recruitment giant Manpower Group, Jonas Prising, who explains what this picture of economic uncertainty means for workers around the world.
