In this paper, I chose to address the issue of gender inequalities in the workplace, focusing in particular on the differences in employment opportunities between men and women, an issue that is still very relevant today and concerns society as a whole. Specifically, the hypothesis of my work is that gender disparity has cultural roots that lead to discriminatory behavior against women even in the world of work. To eliminate these disparities, it is necessary to involve trainers and human resources managers, who have significant power in managing and eradicating the inequalities between men and women in the workplace. I believe that through professional training, the introduction of specific programs within companies, and the analysis and management of corporate culture, it is possible to guarantee women the same career advancement opportunities as men. After a brief introduction, the paper is structured into three chapters. In the first chapter, I analyze the history of the relationship between women and work, then the role of education in either reinforcing or eliminating the gender gap, and finally the issue of pay differences. The second chapter focuses on occupational segregation, the challenges women face in balancing their dual roles of family care and work, and finally an analysis of female entrepreneurship, aiming to identify the difficulties women encounter in the workplace and the underlying causes of these difficulties. Finally, in the third chapter, I present some strategies to address gender disparity, such as viewing diversity as an asset, followed by the importance of professional training programs and female empowerment. The aim is to analyze the current situation and explore potential solutions, based on the conviction that only through knowledge, professional training, and an inclusive organizational culture can we build a truly fair working environment.
In questo elaborato ho voluto trattare il tema delle disuguaglianze di genere nel lavoro, concentrandomi in particolare sulle differenze di possibilità lavorative tra uomo e donna, un problema ancora molto attuale, che riguarda tutta la società. In particolare, l’ipotesi del mio lavoro è che la disparità di genere abbia radici culturali che portano a comportamenti discriminatori nei confronti delle donne anche nel mondo del lavoro, e che per essere eliminati sia necessario l’intervento di formatori e responsabili delle risorse umane, che hanno un forte potere nella gestione e nell’eliminazione delle disuguaglianze presenti tra uomini e donne nei contesti lavorativi. Ritengo, infatti che attraverso la formazione, l’introduzione di programmi specifici nelle aziende e l’analisi e la gestione della cultura aziendale sia possibile garantire alle donne le stesse possibilità di avanzamento di carriera degli uomini. Dopo una breve introduzione, l'elaborato, si struttura in tre capitoli. Nel primo analizzo la storia del rapporto tra donne e lavoro, poi il ruolo della scuola nel rinforzare o annullare il divario di genere ed infine la questione delle differenze salariali. Nel secondo, invece tratto la segregazione occupazionale, le difficoltà che le donne incontrano nella gestione del doppio ruolo di cura della famiglia e lavoro ed infine mi concentro sull’analisi dell’imprenditorialità femminile, cercando di individuare le difficoltà delle donne nel lavoro e le cause di queste difficoltà. Per finire, nel terzo capitolo, cerco di presentare alcune strategie per risolvere la disparità di genere, come la visione della diversità come ricchezza, parlando poi dell’importanza degli interventi formativi e dell’empowerment femminile. Questo punta ad un’analisi della situazione e una ricerca delle soluzioni, nella convinzione che solo attraverso la conoscenza, la formazione e una cultura organizzativa inclusiva si possano costruire un mondo del lavoro davvero equo.
Divario di genere e formazione professionale. Verso le pari opportunità.

Abstract
In this paper, I chose to address the issue of gender inequalities in the workplace, focusing in particular on the differences in employment opportunities between men and women, an issue that is still very relevant today and concerns society as a whole. Specifically, the hypothesis of my work is that gender disparity has cultural roots that lead to discriminatory behavior against women even in the world of work. To eliminate these disparities, it is necessary to involve trainers and human resources managers, who have significant power in managing and eradicating the inequalities between men and women in the workplace. I believe that through professional training, the introduction of specific programs within companies, and the analysis and management of corporate culture, it is possible to guarantee women the same career advancement opportunities as men. After a brief introduction, the paper is structured into three chapters. In the first chapter, I analyze the history of the relationship between women and work, then the role of education in either reinforcing or eliminating the gender gap, and finally the issue of pay differences. The second chapter focuses on occupational segregation, the challenges women face in balancing their dual roles of family care and work, and finally an analysis of female entrepreneurship, aiming to identify the difficulties women encounter in the workplace and the underlying causes of these difficulties. Finally, in the third chapter, I present some strategies to address gender disparity, such as viewing diversity as an asset, followed by the importance of professional training programs and female empowerment. The aim is to analyze the current situation and explore potential solutions, based on the conviction that only through knowledge, professional training, and an inclusive organizational culture can we build a truly fair working environment.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
