PEOPLE & PROFIT © FRANCE 24

2021 brought big changes to households and businesses around the world. In the last show of the season, Stephen Carroll and Kate Moody take a look at some of the biggest business and economic stories of the year and how they might evolve in 2022.

  • Inflation has hit the highest level in decades in Europe and the United States. How long might it last, and what can policymakers do about it?
  • The rising cost of energy and shipping is one of the biggest factors causing prices to rise – is there a solution in sight to either problem?
  • Plus, we look at major trends in the workplace, including the "quitdemic", returning to the office and the need for family leave.
