00:00In Italy, the rate of female employment is still too low compared to the European average.
00:10Only 55% of women between 20 and 64 years of age work, while in the rest of the European Union it is 69.3%.
00:20Hence the need to work on gender policies that allow to recover the time and jobs lost.
00:27To turn on the lights on this problem, which also damages the GDP of the Bel Paese and Danone,
00:33which in the field of G7 Agriculture and Fishing is in the process of horticulture in the heart of Syracuse
00:38and whose conclusion is scheduled for next Sunday, has organized the event
00:42the Economic and Social Sustainability of Danone Italy and its branch.
00:46It goes without saying that women should not choose between work and maternity,
00:50even the Minister of Agriculture Francesco Lollobrigida,
00:53during the visit to the Danone Family Pit Stop dedicated to families with children.
00:58It is necessary that our model leaves women free to choose, not between work and maternity,
01:06but to choose whether to be able to work and be a mother,
01:10and the conditions must be closer to this type of approach.
01:15Men and women must be free to affirm their will.
01:20The companies that invest in this are the companies that are at the forefront.
01:24To explain the philosophy of Danone in relation to female employment and children is Sonia Malaspina,
01:30Director of Institutional Relations, Communication and Sustainability of Danone Italy.
01:35It is necessary that companies put themselves as a responsible subject that goes to help,
01:41because our experience says that more equality equals more competitiveness for companies,
01:47more natality for the entire Italian system.
01:50The role of politics in gender policies has been represented by the Employment Advisor of the Lombardy Region,
01:57Simona Tironi.
01:58Institutions must commit themselves to give all the possible tools to our women
02:03so as not to have to choose, to be able to choose,
02:06and not to be forced to give up a career prospect,
02:13a work satisfaction to stay at home and take care of a disability or raise their children.
02:22Another negative aspect in Italy when it comes to employment is the relationship between men and women.
02:27The rate of the first 13 million employees, that of the second just 9.5 million.
