Each Mission's course of action to promote Gender Equality
Digitalisation, innovation, competitiveness, culture and tourism
Broadband and fast connections
to improve female participation in the digital economy, especially in areas of Italy where there is less coverage.
Development and modernisation of the tourism and cultural sector
to increase employment in sectors with an already strong female presence (es.: those of hotels, restaurants and cultural activities).
Remote working in public administration
bringing benefits in terms of work-life balance, focusing on the achievement of goals rather than presence in the office.
Work flexibility for men
to promote a cultural change that encourages men to take advantage of new flexible working hours so they can take on more household chores.
Green revolution and ecological transition
Public housing measures
including extension of the 110% superbonus to public housing associations to support single parents, normally women.
Local public transport investments
upgrading the obsolete bus fleet to help improve infrastructure and services.
Infrastructure for sustainable mobility
Improvement of rail transport
increasing capacity and safety to improve mobility for women, who use public transport more than men.
Education and research
Expansion of daycare and full-time nurseries
to increase the enrolment rate and give women complete freedom of choice and self-expression.
Women's access to STEM, language and digital skills
to increase female employment in all areas of work and bring Italy closer to European averages.
Inclusion and cohesion
Female and youth employment levels
for projects, also thanks to training and specialisation contracts.
Promotion of women's entrepreneurship
with specific investments, crucial to providing the right tools to expand the reach.
Boosting women's employment
launch of services that promote female employment across the country.
Health
Improvement in care and home help services
promoting proximity and support services also with the aim of dividing family commitments more equally.
Proximity support structures for communities
characterised by prevention, diagnosis and treatment courses.
Expected benefits
Female employment is expected to grow by 4 percentage points by 2026
The measures introduced by Italia Domani will lead to a gradual increase in female employment throughout Italy, thanks in particular to the investments of the Teaching and Research and Inclusion and Cohesion Missions.
Other Values
Youth
Invest in the new generations to guarantee access to childcare, improve the school system and reverse the country's declining birth rate.
Reduce the gaps in standards of living
Bridge the citizenship gap by realising the potential of the South and expanding local services to support the disabled and elderly.
