Around 1 million and 140 thousand girls between 15 and 29 years of age risk, at the end of the year, to find themselves in the position of not studying, not working and not being included in any training course, thus renouncing aspirations and projects for the Her future. A limbo in which 1 in 4 girls is already trapped, with peaks approaching 40% in Sicily and Calabria, and that sees higher percentages of girls even in the most virtuous territories, such as Trentino Alto Adige, where a compared with 7.7% of boys, Neet’s girls are almost twice as high (14.6%). Gender gaps that also have an impact on the workplace, with an unemployment rate between 15-34 years of age reaching 33% compared to 27.2% for young men, a figure that is nevertheless serious. Education continues to be a “protective” factor for the future of girls, but young graduates are also paying dearly for the crisis: among the recent graduates who obtained the first-level degree in the first six months of 2019, only 62, El 4% found work, with a decrease of 10 percentage points compared to 2019, while for male graduates, although penalized, the decrease is 8 points (from 77.2% to 69.1%), with salaries in all cases higher than 19% compared to recent graduates.
