Sažetak
Italy is at the rear of the European Union countires by the proportion of women in the labor force. In 2015. the general employment rate of women in the Italian labour market (47.2%) is considerably below the EU-28 average (60, 4%). Unemployment rate for women in Italy (12, 0) is above the EU-27 average (10, 6). Th e economic crisis has left a strong mark in Italian economy. In six years (2008-2014) Italy lost about 800 thousand jobs. Total employment rate decreased from 45, 8% to 42, 8% and the gap with Europe has become larger. Accordingly, the basic objective of this paper is to explore the impact of the economic crisis on the women employment in Italy and posibilities to achieve more gender equality on the labor market. Th e resulting fi ndings in this paper are based on the methods of descriptive and inferential statistics.
