Reducing the amount of time spent at
work is the goal for over two-thirds of Italian employees,
according to a report on the labour market by the Censis
research institute and Eudaimon corporate-welfare agency.
The report said that 67.7% of Italians in employment want to
reduce their work hours in the future.
It said that 30.5% only do what is strictly necessary at work,
refusing overtime, calls and emails out of office hours and
doing only the tasks they are employed for.
The report said people who quit in Italy mostly do so to land a
better job.
It said 67% of people under 60 who resign are in another job
within three months.
The report said the arrival of a child another reason people
resign, especially when it comes to women.
It said that in 2022 61,000 parents left their jobs within the
first year of life of their child, up from 39,738 in 2017.
The report said the proportion of women with children who are in
employment is 58,6%, compared to 89.3% for fathers, a gap of
30.7 percentage points.
The gap is higher than in Germany (17.4 percentage points),
France (14.4), Spain (19) and Greece (29.1).
