The job’s world it remains a very environment difficult for women and in this year and a half of the pandemic, the increase in gender inequalities has grown: data in hand, the employment rate of men is 67.8% and that of women is 49.5%. This is what the Gender Policies Report, elaborated by the Inapp Labor Market Structure and presented at the Auditorium of theNational Institute for Public Policy Analysis, which comes to terms with a 2021 marked by precariousness, economic disparity and the rights of the world of work. Even during the recovery of the post-pandemic, the incidence of precariousness and discontinuity for women is always greater, with a predominant role of the small business with up to 15 employees.
The chimera of ‘indefinite time’
Just think they are open-ended only 14% of new contracts e only 38% of stabilizations from other contractual forms. Furthermore, 49.6% of all female contracts are part-time, compared to 26.6% of men. In short, the gender gaps (employment and pay) are widening and, at the same time, the territorial gaps are widening: there are 4 different regional scenarios for employment created, level of stability and number of hours worked by women. Over 100,000 contracts for women in Lombardy, Lazio, Emilia Romagna and Veneto; from 50 to 100 thousand activations in Tuscany, Piedmont, Campania, Puglia and Sicily; between 15 thousand and 99 thousand in Trentino Alto Adige, Marche, Sardinia, Liguria, Abruzzo, Friuli, Calabria and Umbria. Below 15,000 in Basilicata, Valle d’Aosta and Molise.
