The Global Gender Gap Report was first published in 2006 by the World Economic Forum. The 2014 report covers 144 major and emerging economies. The Global Gender Gap Index is an index designed to measure gender equality. This report examines four overall areas as economic participation and opportunity, educational attainment, political empowerment, health and survival. Here we took an overview on Italy, where none of the great Cities is in the top ten and results in Rome as one of the less “woman friendly” places. mThis research applied the ATOKA algorhytm (http://blog.spaziodati.eu/it/2015/06/15/nasce-atoka-io-b2b-lead-generation-su-6-milioni-di-aziende-italiane/) screening more than 1 million companies.
Here are some highlights:
- Cities with the highest number of women in the board of directors: Bologna, Biella, Siena and Savona (33%)
- Rome is at the bottom with 27%
- Vibo Valentia, Foggia, Caserta, Crotone, Cosenza, Bari, Catanzaro, Reggio Calabria, Salerno and Potenza are the last ones in the panel between 14% and 26%
The number of female top managers decreases as the Company increases its size: in Italy, Companies with a female chief executive officer is around 20%. When we look at the industry, we find that women are more present in Education, Wellness, Social Welfare and are almost absent in technology industries as engeneering, electronic industry, information technology and GDO. Looking at the grand total, Italy is ranking #41 on the Global Gender Gap Index, so it is one of the worst in Europe. mThe full report is available here: http://reports.weforum.org/global-gender-gap-report-2015/economies/#economy=ITA
Northern Europe Countries win with Iceland, Norway and Finland as the top three. Better than Italy we can find Bahamas and last Yemen.
