Consider This: Care Workforce — The Post-Pandemic Reckoning

The Covid-19 pandemic revealed just how strained and undervalued Malaysia’s care workforce had become. But several years later, have their conditions improved? A new study by the RE:CARE Project maps the pressures, inequities, and policy gaps surrounding Malaysia's care workforce, and what must change to protect it from burnout, mental health strain, and retention challenges. On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Anis Farid, Principal Investigator for the RE:CARE Project, and Shazana Agha, one of the projects Co-Principal Investigators. This report is a part of the RE:CARE Project (Endemicity, Care, and Gender: Towards Developing Resilience in Malaysia’s Essential Care Workforce and Infrastructure), an initiative led by researchers and personnel from Women’s Aid Organisation, University of Alberta, and Universiti Malaya, in collaboration with representatives of TalentCorp and the Ministry of Health.

Consider This: Social Media Ban — Rights, Risks, and Realities

Malaysia is planning to ban children under 16 years old from signing up for social media accounts.

On this episode of #ConsiderThis Melisa Idris speaks with Dr Benjamin Loh, Course Director, Bachelor of Digital Media & Communication, Monash University Malaysia, and Dr Tricia Yeoh, Associate Professor of Practice, School of Politics, International Relations & Economics, University of Nottingham Malaysia.
