The socio-economic contextFemale unemploymentThere are still pronounced gender differences inthe area of job hunting. The unemployment rate,though constantly decreasing in the last few yearsfor both sexes, is still 3.4 percentage points higherfor women than for men. In 2006 the femaleunemployment rate was equal to 8.8% againstthe 5.4% of men.FIGURE 7Italy - Unemployment rates 15-64Source: ISTAT, Ongoing Survey on the Labour ForcesThe disaggregation of unemployment rates by age,shows that the greatest gaps are found in theyoung age groups. The gender gap between 15and 24 years of age is approximately six points,and four points between 25 and 34 years of age,and again in decline in the higher age groups.The growth of higher education was by far greateramong women than among men, and by now theyounger generations of women turn out to bemore educated than the men. This has had remarkableeffects in Italy inasmuch as it has been thisstrong increase in female educational levels tocause their increased presence in the labourmarket (see figure 8).However, there are still gender differences withrespect to the educational level between peoplelooking for work. The differences in the femaleand male unemployment rates are in fact greaterin the lower educational levels and ease off wherethere is an increase in the educational level. Eventhough the female component has greaterdifficulty than the male one despite higher educationalqualifications (see figure 9).9
