Covid, Save The Children: 96 thousand mothers have lost their jobs
Out of 249,000 women who lost their jobs in 2020, the year of the pandemic, 96,000 are mothers with minor children. Among them, 4 out of 5 have children under the age of five. They are those mothers who, due to the need to follow the little ones, have had to give up their work or have been expelled. Almost all – 90,000 out of 96,000 – were already employed part-time before the pandemic. On the eve of Mother’s Day, Save The Children launches the “Le Equilibriste 2021” Report for the sixth consecutive year, where the gap between North and South is confirmed also with respect to the condition of mothers. Campania and Calabria are the rear, while in the first places, as has been the case since 2012, there are once again the Autonomous Provinces of Bolzano and Trento, followed this year by the Valle d’Aosta, which “surpasses” Emilia Romagna .
