  • LECCE, ITALY - 10 DECEMBER 2020: A closed bar is seen here in a usually busy nightlife area of the historical center of Lecce, Apulia, Italy, on December 10th 2020. Since November 2nd 2020, bars and restaurants across Italy must close at 6pm.<br />
<br />
Unlike the 2008 financial crisis, the pandemic’s employment shock hit women harder than men across much of the Western world. The impact on women has been especially severe in Southern Italy, which already has Europe’s widest employment gender gap.<br />
<br />
In Italy, 51 percent of women work compared with 68 percent of men, the seventh highest women’s unemployment rate in the world despite improvements in the last decade<br />
<br />
The Global Gender Gap Report 2020 published by the World Economic Forum prior to the pandemic states that the advancement of women has regressed by nearly a century.  Italy has performed worse than most European nations in this analysis, falling six spots to seventeenth position in Europe; only Greece, Malta and Cyprus fared more poorly.<br />
<br />
The gender pay gap highlights the most critical issue. On average, non-university-educated men earn 6,000 euro more than women with a degree in Italy.

<br />
 Since the age of 21 years old, Simona Allegrino worked in administration services company. In 2019, she gave birth to two twins and went on maternity leave. When she came back to work, she asked for a part-time contractor any other agreement that would allow her to come back earlier home to her children. After she realised her employer didn't accept any of her requests, she resigned. She is unemployed since then.<br />

Faced with the  challenge of balancing home schooling and their jobs, figures so far reveal that 76 percent of the applicants for paid parental leave during the pandemic have been women. A research conducted by the Milan Bicocca University claims that 30 percent of working mums are considering leaving their jobs if distance learning were to continue this academic year.

  • LECCE, ITALY - 10 DECEMBER 2020: Stefania Pala (32), an unemployed, poses for a portrait in Lecce, Apulia, Italy, on December 10th 2020.<br />
<br />
After working in a hotel on Lake Garda, Stefania Pala moved to London where she worked in a pizzeria and lived with her partner from 2015 to 2018. When her partner received a job offer with a permanent contract in Apulia, they moved back. "We could finally ask for a loan, get married and buy a house", she said.  She has worked occasionally as a head waiter on short-term contracts during peak season in Apulia. Her last job was at a resort last summer, but has been unemployed ever since. During her last job interview for an available position as a paid intern (750 euros for 44 hours/week) in art supplies store, the potential employer asked her if she had children or if she had intention to have any. Uncertain how to respond, Stefania Pala laughed uncomfortably and replied she had two cats. She wasn't hired.<br />

The Global Gender Gap Report 2020 published by the World Economic Forum prior to the pandemic states that the advancement of women has regressed by nearly a century.  Italy has performed worse than most European nations in this analysis, falling six spots to seventeenth position in Europe; only Greece, Malta and Cyprus fared more poorly.<br />
<br />
The gender pay gap highlights the most critical issue. On average, non-university-educated men earn 6,000 euro more than women with a degree in Italy.

Unlike the 2008 financial crisis, the pandemic’s employment shock hit women harder than men across much of the Western world. The impact on women has been especially severe in Southern Italy, which already has Europe’s widest employment gender gap.<br />

  • LECCE, ITALY - 10 DECEMBER 2020: Stefania Pala (32), an unemployed, poses for a portrait in Lecce, Apulia, Italy, on December 10th 2020.<br />
<br />
After working in a hotel on Lake Garda, Stefania Pala moved to London where she worked in a pizzeria and lived with her partner from 2015 to 2018. When her partner received a job offer with a permanent contract in Apulia, they moved back. "We could finally ask for a loan, get married and buy a house", she said.  She has worked occasionally as a head waiter on short-term contracts during peak season in Apulia. Her last job was at a resort last summer, but has been unemployed ever since. During her last job interview for an available position as a paid intern (750 euros for 44 hours/week) in art supplies store, the potential employer asked her if she had children or if she had intention to have any. Uncertain how to respond, Stefania Pala laughed uncomfortably and replied she had two cats. She wasn't hired.<br />

  • 4 October, 2008.  Items on sale at the Bloomingdale's department store on 59th street and Lexingon ave. As the financial crisis spread last month, many retailers hit the panic button, offering more generous discounts than they did at the same time last year.

Giada Gramanzini hasn’t found a job since deciding last year not to renew a three-month contract as a fulltime receptionist that paid her 400 euros a month, or about $2.80 an hour. She sent out about 70 resumes in the past six months in search of a job where she can put her degree in foreign languages to work.<br />
<br />
The Italian economy last year grew at its fastest rate since 2010, but the improvement hasn’t trickled down to millions of people in their 20s and 30s, leaving a yawning generation gap with their baby boomer parents.<br />
