According to ISTAT data referring to December 2020, the employed in Italy have decreased by 101,000 units of which 99,000 are women: a situation, that of
female unemployment, which has worsened with the pandemic
, but which was already alarming before.
In fact, according to Eurostat 2019 on 2018 the
employment rate of women is lower than that of men
(63% out of 74%) and 31% of employed women work part-time, against 9% of men receiving a salary of 16% less than men in the European Union, if you compare the average gross hourly wage.
With digital diffusion and online training, in recent months many have sought new ways of working, perhaps making their passion a successful business. Among the initiatives there is also an all-female community, Biz Academy, an online academy founded by Cecilia Sardeo, who has come to accompany thousands of women in successful and women empowerment projects. Fighting the gender gap and generating opportunities for training and mutual collaboration are the values of this 'tribe' made up of brilliant entrepreneurs who are always ready to support each other, in the name of sisterhood and female solidarity.
This is how
Alice
turned her passion for cooking into a job, becoming today a
Cuocadè
digital entrepreneur
, the channel through which he teaches children online to cook while having fun, cultivating confidence, self-esteem and creativity. Or like
Cinzia
, who left her steady job as an employee to become an entrepreneur of herself with the
Cinzia Ferrari Bambolaia
project
, as she likes to define herself, and teach through digital tools how to make handmade dolls unique in the world, of inspiration Waldorf.
“Sisterhood is truly the key word that characterizes
Biz Academy
: it is not just a group of women, but they are women who make and give each other strength. There is no hatred, rivalry, hatred. In short, we try to give the girls concrete advice, skills and competences, also through digital partners that we select in advance so as to give them the opportunity to rely on companies and agencies designed to get their business off the ground. At the base of everything, however, there is certainly training ”- comments Cecilia Sardeo who is also the author of the book
