In the 2007 – 2009 period, the Extraordinary Plan allocated State resources amounting to 446 million Euros and 281 million Euros with the regional co-financing, totalling € 727 million Euros for the development of the integrated network of socio-educational services.
135.
In addition, for the year 2010, the Department for Family Policies allocated additional 100 million Euros, to implement, as a priority, the development of early childhood services, along with other pro-family interventions. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
Closely connected to the transfer of the financial resources established for the implementation of the aforementioned Plan, and also to guarantee the quality of the aforementioned integrated network, the Department for Family Policies and the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies, relying also on Centro Nazionale di Documentazione e Analisi per l‟Infanzia e l‟Adolescenza (national documentation and analysis centre for childhood and adolescence) and in collaboration with ISTAT, have initiated the monitoring activity for the purposes of assessing the aforementioned Plan‟s state of implementation. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
The relevant monitoring includes the following areas: a) the quantity of services present in the regional territory; b) the various types of offerings, ascribed to the two macro-areas referring to the CISIS statistical catalogue (nursery school and supplementary services consisting of play space for children, facilities for children and families, services in home settings); c) regional regulations and regulatory acts; d) resources addressing and used for services in the Region; e) services network data. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
With regard to the 33% final coverage objective for educational services for children under 3 years of age, the main statistical indicator focused on is the degree of coverage by early childhood educational services (nursery school and supplementary services). | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
Analysis of the latest available data, as of 31 December 2009, shows strong a local difference between northern and southern regions: to the north, we find educational service reception rates of greater than 15 places per 100 children, with the sole exception of the Autonomous Province of Bolzano.
The Regions with the 31 highest reception rates are Emilia Romagna (exceeding 30 places per 100 children), Umbria, Tuscany, and Valle d‟Aosta.
137. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
137.
The only Southern Regions providing comprehensive data are Molise and Abruzzo, reporting 15 places per 100 children.
Nationwide, the reception rate for early childhood educational services equals 17.8 places per 100 children6.
138.
In this setting, mention has to be made of the 2007-2013 National Strategic Framework for additional regional policy (Quadro Strategico Nazionale per la politica regionale aggiuntiva 2007- 2013 – QSN) as approved by European Commission Decision No. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
C (2007) 3329 of 13 July 2007, which calls for a mechanism based on competition to achieve verifiable results in terms of collective services in areas being essential to ensure the adequate living standards, equal opportunities for the citizens, and the affordability for businesses to invest.

To this end, for the Regions of Southern Italy, four objectives have been identified which appear to be of relevance to both assess the current capacity for change in the living and well-being conditions in the territories in question, and for the capacity for the effective integration between national and regional policies. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
The objectives are: to raise the educational levels of the students and of the entire population; to increase social and health-care services for children and the elderly (in particular by stressing the family obligations, mainly borne by women, a factor which contributes to discourage their participation in the labour market); and to improve water services and urban waste management (within the framework of a greater effort towards improving environmental quality).
140. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
140.
Italian Authorities selected statistical indicators suitable for measuring these objectives in terms of availability and quality of services.
They were associated with clear goals to be reached by 2013 and incentive mechanisms for the Regions to achieve the expected improvements. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
In particular, with respect to the nursery school objectives, the following goals were set: - Increasing the percentage of municipalities with children‟s services from 21% to 35%; - Raising the percentage of children using the service from 4% to 12%.
141.
To this end, in January 2009 it was launched the project, entitled “Azioni di sistema e assistenza tecnica per gli obiettivi dei servizi di cura per l‟infanzia” (“system actions and technical assistance for the objectives of childhood care services”). | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
142.
Within this framework, it should be stressed the proposals by Osservatorio nazionale per l‟infanzia e l‟adolescenza (the National Observatory on childhood and adolescence) as included in the third relevant Plan of Action, that has placed specific attention to supporting families, especially women, through a number of initiatives relating to the so-called active parenting and the reconciliation.
To this end, some of the actions as identified by the Plan provide for: - Effectively implementing Act No. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
53/2000, by seeking to achieve substantial equality of roles for men and women, in such a way that women do not have to renounce possible career expectations, or even jobs.
This gives rise to the need for some legislative modifications to adjust to European regulations as regards the percentage of compensation earned during the period of leave, and raising children‟s age threshold for leave to be enjoyed. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
- Strengthening the network of integrated services for early childhood through the development, throughout national territory, of services for children between 3 months and 3 years of age (nursery school, mini-preschool, company or onsite day care, new “sezioni primavera” day care 6 Indicator calculated not taking into account the population of Campania, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria, Sicily, and Sardinia, for which the figure on places is not available. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
32 services adjoined to preschools and nursery schools), and of educational services to supplement nursery schools and preschools (play facilities, play spaces, facilities for children and parents), raising the percentage of coverage between potential users and those enrolled in the Action Plan‟s three-year period. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
- Developing a project of system Actions and technical assistance to the southern Regions, with the objective of intervening in the distribution of services in the various territorial areas in order to eliminate the imbalance between northern and southern Italy.
The eight southern Regions will be supported in the process of achieving the objectives, with specific reference to the targets for early childhood services. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
Technical assistance provides for: training activity aimed at strengthening technical and professional skills; onsite technical assistance to support the programming and implementation of the regional Plans; system activity to spread – also through the use of web technology – operative instruments, documentation, guidelines, etc.
; exchanges and twinning with other regions in central and northern Italy.
- Testing “home nursery schools” to help reconcile time for living and working in the family. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
National funding is called for, supplemented by territorial financing, for the controlled, verified trialling of the so-called “home nursery schools,” focusing on appropriately trained people offering education and child care for other people‟s children in their own homes. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
- Improving and generalizing early childhood educational and school services in order to guarantee education to all children between 3 and 6 years of age.- Fostering attendance – by minors in fragile homes and in conditions of social and cultural exclusion – in services for 0-3 years of age, in preschools, and in educational services for 0-6 years of age.

The system of “compulsory communications” (including reports of regular employment or para-subordinate work) recorded in 2009 over 9.3 million activations of labor relations, distributed in an equal manner between males and females.
144. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |

Compared to the economic activities of the male jobs are concentrated in hotels and restaurants, agriculture and construction, those women tend to be mostly in public administration, education and health, hotels and restaurants, transportation and other business services.
145. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
145.
About the types of contract, there is a slight predominance of men among the activities of permanent contracts, while greater flexibility characterizes women, with increased use of fixed-term relationships and collaboration agreements.
146.
This increased flexibility can also be observed in terms of average number of activations during 2009 when it amounted to 1.58 of men and 1.67 of women, respectively. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
Among the labor relations activities included 1.1 million of relationships with Non-EU workers (among whom 42% are for women) and 706,000 with EU workers (of which 53% women).
This finding is particularly important, as it also includes foreigners temporarily present in our country.
147. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
147.
With regard to the economic sector, foreign workers have greater demand for labor in activities conducted by households (including about 66% are working) and hotels and restaurants sectors in which we observe an equal distribution between men and women.
These are often reports of permanent employment (linked to residence permits), but among the working relationship ended in 2009 about 40% have a duration of 2-3 months, without major differences in gender and area of origin (EU and extra EU).

REGIONS The Regions are implementing the following measures for employment: - measures designed to encourage career paths and integration of women in enterprises and in areas of public and private research - activities to support already existing or new women entrepreneurial activities. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
The following activities undertaken by the Regions for work and family reconciliation should be considered: conciliation vouchers as measures to support women employment for the financing of services delivered to minors use of integrated home care services, also through the work placement of women living in conditions of social exclusion creation of childcare services or increasing care services in order to light family workload and consequently to raise the participation of women in the labour market reorganisation of family centres family allowances to let elderly and disabled stay at home flexicurity interventions in enterprises to encourage reconciliation of family and professional life. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
[Question No.
23.]
According to the report, several measures have been introduced to contribute to burden-sharing between women and men and to reconcile work and family life.
In light of the Committee‟s previous concluding observations, please provide information on the impact of such measures, in particular on men taking parental leave to care for their child on the basis of the parental leave introduced in 2000. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
Please also provide updated information by region on progress made in achieving the goal of providing 33 per cent of the country with relevant early childhood day-care services for children by 2010 and provide information by region on the availability of relevant publicly funded or publicly supported care services for elderly family members with disabilities, or other dependent persons.
152.
As for those fathers taking the parental leave, the most recent data for employees date back to the year 20057. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
These data show that there is still a difference between fathers and mothers: there were 345.000 mothers against 165.000 fathers, taking parental leave.
153.
As for the mothers, there is no big difference if considering the various areas of the country.
However more fathers were taking parental leave in Southern Italy.
This is mostly due to the fact that in this part of Italy, generally, men are the only breadwinner and the partner is often housewife, and thus being not entitled to take parental leave. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |

Early Childhood education and Childcare facilities.
As above discussed, Italy has strongly supported structural long-term measures.
155.
The mentioned National Plan for development of educational and care services addressed to early childhood was set up in for the period 2007-2009 for a total amount of resources of 727 million euro.
In 2010, further 100 million euros have been invested.

Very important steps have been registered in achieving progressively the targets of providing childcare by 2010 to at least 33% of children under three years.
A remarkable monitoring study has been set up.
From available data, there is a general improvement.
157.
Some Regions in the North and Centre Italy exceed the 33% target, some are around 25% and some are still on lower rate.
The national estimated rate is around 24.8 %, considering public and private childcare services8.
158. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
158.
The 100 million euro supplementary resources for 2010 and the following additional resources could also play an important role in achieving the EU target.
159.
As above reported, in particular, in 2009, 40 million Euros have been invested to promote home-based care services for early childhood (Tagesmutter); - a pilot project has been launched in to create new nurseries in public administrations with an initial amount of 25 million euro.
160. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |

As for the measures undertaken in order to improve the Italian situation related to child-care services the DEO has published a Public Notice for child care services in the Public administrations 161.
In order to reach the goal of childcare for 33% of children under three years the DPO has published on 17 December 2009 a Public Notice aimed at financing new child care services in the workplaces of the Public Administrations. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |

From this standpoint, the aforementioned Technical Table – as part of its duties to provide impetus to equality instruments – has developed a declaration model and a report for surveying the data on a national level, starting 2009, and the general directorate for inspection activities (DGAI) has emanated special operative instructions to the territorial offices, to guarantee the uniformity of inspection personnel‟s behaviour in the delicate sector of confirming resignations (pursuant to art. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |

Examination of the data collected for 2009 shows that over the course of the year, the provincial labour directorates issued 17,676 measures confirming resignations pursuant to art.
55, 12,100 of which in the north, 3,301 in central Italy, and 2,275 in the south.

It was found that the 17,676 male and female workers who had resigned were prevalently between 26 and 35 years of age (11,327), had low service seniority - up to three years (9,445) – and had just one child (11,467).
169.
The phenomenon of resignations for motherhood/fatherhood mainly affects companies with up to fifteen employees (11,269), since, perhaps because of their small size, they have greater difficulties in organizing working hours (granting part-time work, shift work, etc.).

Instead, as regards the productive sectors in which the phenomenon is more considerable, the attached report shows that the most substantial items are those in “commerce” (6,668) and “other” (7,187) – an item likely to have contained services, a sector in which women have been traditionally employed.
171.
Chief among the motivations that have most encouraged male and female workers to resign are the absence of relatives (3,845) and of such support facilities as day care (3,577).

As for relevant measures, it should be mentioned, as follows: - The Italian legislation does not discriminate between part-time and full-time workers with regard to both remuneration and social protection. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
A part-time worker is entitled to the same remuneration per hour as a full-time worker even if every single item in the relevant salary is calculated in proportion to the number of worked hours, unless collective bargaining 37 provides for the remuneration to be calculated under more favorable conditions.
The same rights are granted, for instance, with reference to the annual paid leave, sick leave, maternity or parental leave, work injury benefits, etc., always in proportion to the effective working time. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
As to family allowances, this type of benefit is granted according to the number of working hours per week: The full allowance is granted if the worker performs his/her activity on a 24 hour schedule per week; if the worker performs his/her activity on less than 24 hours per week, he/she will be entitled to as many daily allowances as the number of days he/she has really worked. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |

- As discussed, Italy 2020 – Action Plan for the employability of youth through the integration between learning and employment identifies the action lines to improve the integration between the training system and the labour market in order to accomplish youth full employability; the Plan, which has been drafted by the Ministries of Labour and Education, and launched in September 2009, identifies the joint action lines for the two Ministries, to be pursued though a shared „flight deck‟, to build a new and more integrated relationship between the training system and the labour market in order to accomplish youth full employability. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
- Various priorities have been identified: to facilitate the transition from school to work, to re- launch the technical-vocational education and the apprenticeship contract, to rethink the role played by university education, to open up Ph D courses to the manufacturing system and to the labour market.
As for the specific strategic framework, Italian Authorities intend to convene a meeting between social partners and trade associations. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
In particular, given the fact that technical education can be an important opportunity for young people and for companies, the strengthening of guidance actions, the reorganization, the relaunch and re- qualification of technical education, that has to be boosted for young women living in the most strategic technological areas in terms of innovation and competitiveness, as well as the development of technical-vocational education and training paths, at the workplace and within the working environment, will contribute both to facilitate the match between labour supply and demand, and to reduce segregation, improving the employability of young women and their relative retention in the labour market (Please see Tab excel – tables 2 through 19 in Annex on Ministry of Labour). | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |

As previously discussed, an important initiative created with the aim of guaranteeing the fair access of women to public offices is the “Directive on measures to achieve equality and equal opportunity between men and women in Public Administration” signed in May 2007 by the Minister for Equal Opportunities jointly with the Minister for Reforms and Innovations in Public Administration.
175. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
175.
This Directive is aimed at central authorities and non economic public bodies, but also at Regions and local bodies.
The Office for intervention for equality and equal opportunities within the DEO coordinates the planning, management and monitoring of all the initiatives related to equal opportunities which are financed by national resources and it is responsible for the implementation of this Directive.

The Directive provides indications for areas where the authorities should intervene and determine critical points or possible direct and indirect discrimination, using surveys, studies and monitoring activities.
There are 6 areas: • elimination and prevention of discrimination; • adoption of triennial positive action plans; • work organization; • personnel recruitment and personnel management policies; • equal opportunity committee (EOC) • organizational training and culture.

177.
The Directive foresees to adopt initiatives addressed to balance women's presence at decision- making level where a gender pay gap still persists and it is more than 2/3 (para 4, letter f).
For each of the relevant areas, this Directive supplies precise instructions for the administrations, appealing to them, for example, to make legal and contractual provisions regarding flexible work and to take care that appointments are conferred taking into account the principle of equal opportunity. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |

The fight against informal labour is one of the programmatic priorities of the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies who is increasingly paying attention to this problem, also due to the relating problem connected with the issue of safeguarding health and safety at the workplace. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
The central importance of the actions combating informal labour is also necessary to guarantee the protection of working conditions, from the economic and contribution standpoints, and to prevent phenomena of social dumping which are factors that distort free competition between businesses.

First, it appears appropriate to make reference to the latest regulatory initiatives by which Italy has supported the action of combating informal labour which, in substance, may be broken down into “preventive” measures and measures of a more strictly “sanctioning” nature. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
n particular, the general measures of a “preventive” nature include: 1. the obligation to establish and keep the single work book, to replace the obligatory books in force in the various productive sectors – by all private employers, with the sole exclusion of the domestic labour employer, that employ subordinate workers, coordinated and ongoing collaborators (collaboratori coordinati e continuative – CO.CO.CO), including those hired by project, those under temporary CO.CO.CO contracts (“mini CO.CO.CO”) and associates in stakeholding, for which there is a labour contribution – introduced by art. | https://docs-lawep.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/thematic2f/pw_1/1721907295352.pdf | https://www.lavoro.gov.it/sites/default/files/archivio-doc-pregressi/ConsiglieraNazionale/2011-03-31%20CEDAW%20MARCH.pdf | Italy |
