Some 96,000 Italian mothers with small
children have lost their jobs during the COVID-19 pandemic, Save
The Children said Friday urging government action to help them.
This was out of a total of 249,000 women who were left jobless
by the emergency, STC said.
Four out of five of the mothers who are now unemployed have
children under the age of five, the report said.
The report confirmed a wide north-south gap in terms of mothers'
jobs.
Campania and Calabria came bottom in the rankings, with the
autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano leading the way as
usual.
The top two were followed by Val d'Aosta, which leapfrogged
Emilia-Romagna into third place in the standings.
