In Italy, more than half of women (58%) and 43.6% of men believe gender inequality exists in the workplace, including hiring, compensation, and promotions. This percentage is lower than the European average, which is 64.1% of women and approximately 50% of males who believe that the labor market disadvantages women. Awareness is substantially greater in countries such as Sweden and France, with percentages surpassing 80% for women and 65% for men. Based on data from the National Report on Round 11 of the European Social Survey, which was conducted by INAPP and analyzed a sample of over 40,000 individuals (2,865 in Italy), the perception of inequality is increasing in the North and among those with a higher level of education. Younger males, those under 30 years old, and the elderly, on the other hand, are less aware. When it comes to wages, over 65% of women and 56% of men in Europe believe that equitable pay is beneficial for the economy. In Iceland, Sweden, and Spain, the percentage approaches 80% for women and 70% for males, although in Italy it is 60% and 50%, respectively. Although Eurostat reports that gender disparities in Italy reach 43%, a sizable proportion of the population, 19.2% of men and 14.5% of women, believe they are only sporadic phenomena. Differences also develop in time management. In Italy, 24% of individuals aged 15 and older provide unpaid care or assistance to family members or acquaintances. Women are responsible for 10% more of this than males, which is one of the most significant disparities in Europe. When the commitment exceeds 10 hours per week, the female share rises to 42% (against a European average of 28%). The load grows with age, particularly among women over 40, who are frequently involved in the "sandwich generation" between children and the elderly, and among women aged 60 to 74, where 38% are caretakers compared to 18% of males.
