Dad Influencers Rise as Italy Maintains Unequal Leave Policies
Italian fathers, like Diego Di Franco, are becoming 'dad influencers' on social media, promoting paternal involvement.
Italy's female employment is 53% in 2024, with a wide gender gap, as many women leave after childbirth, impacting economic growth with an aging population.
Spain's extended paternity leave increases father involvement and narrows the gender pay gap, while Italy's lawmakers are concerned about reforms, but private leave is used by younger fathers.
