Eurostat said Wednesday that Italy's
employment rate was the second worst in the EU after Greece in
2020.
The EU statistics office said the employment rate of people aged
20-64 fell to 58,1% in Italy last year, down from 59% in 2019.
It said that while the employment rate fell throughout Europe,
with the average dropping from 68.5% to 67.7%, the drop in Italy
was bigger.
Eurostat said the fall in the employment rate for women was
bigger still, going from 50.1% to 49%, 13.5 points below the EU
average.
