Among the OECD countries, Italy is one of the best in terms of gender pay gap, with female workers earning on average only 3.3 percent less than men. However, there are certain stereotypes about women among the Italian population. Around 20 percent of the respondents agreed that women must take care of household duties, and that they should have children to realize fully their potential. On the contrary, only six percent of Italians believe that men only must take decisions about the family.
