Evidence snapshot for Italy
Italy has implemented several institutional measures to advance gender equality in employment and leadership. Gender equality guidelines for public administration provide orientations to avoid discriminatory practices in senior recruitment, while Law 162/2021 establishes a Gender Equality Certification for employers adopting concrete measures to reduce gender gaps in career development, pay equity and maternity protection. At the systemic level, Italy established a National Observatory for the Integration of Gender Policies to institutionalise government adoption and monitoring of a national gender equality strategy. Additionally, Italy's public administrations are subject to automated accessibility audits, revealing significant gaps: only ~1% of 780,152 PDFs audited were correctly structured for accessibility despite public bodies self-declaring 43% conformance.
