Ce qui fonctionne — Italie

Italy has implemented several institutional and organizational measures to advance gender equality in leadership and the workplace. At the policy level, Italy's Gender Equality Certification (Law 162/2021) certifies employers adopting concrete measures to reduce gender gaps in career development, pay equity, and maternity protection, while the National Observatory for the Integration of Gender Policies institutionalizes government monitoring of a national gender equality strategy. At the organizational level, guidelines for gender equality in public administration recommend monitoring female candidates for senior posts, while multiple initiatives—including Women on Board, Donne al Quadrato, and women's empowerment in Industry 4.0—provide training and skill development for women's career advancement and leadership. However, the available evidence is descriptive and self-reported, with no quantified results on the actual outcomes or effectiveness of these practices.
