  16. Mirafiori Sud • Neighbourhood in the South outskirt of Turin • About 40.000 inhabitants • Past linked to big industry • Very complex social situation • Recent urban regeneration programs

  17. Women and men role definition is son of the long history of workers in the neighbourhood. 4% of workers (mostly men) more than the city 4% housewives (mostly women) more than the city. Housewives are the 17% – more than the percentage of workers. In the labour market we have a really strong separation of gender roles. Most of the female population is engaged in informal economy (domestic work, care, etc.). Mirafiori Sud: a “broken” neighbourhood from a gender point of view

  18. Women condition in Mirafiori Sud shows some critical points (some are not gender based). Here some of them: Low education level – less qualified work force Women engaged in informal economy or in less paid jobs Increasing of single-parent families, in particular of mothers alone Increasing in female immigration, mostly women alone (especially East Europe and Latin America) Women with family loads (elderly, children, etc.) Some criticisms in female situation in Mirafiori Sud

  19. The local situation shows some critical elements for the involvement of women in local development policies. In particular: Difficulties in involving women because of their role in informal work Lots of marginalized areas Low planning skills and self-entrepreneurship (men and women) “Hidden” entrepreneurship, difficult to evaluate Criticisms in women participation:

  20. Framing in the City policies Commitment of the District toward women condition (“Spazio donne” – “Women place”): attention to exclusion and social difficulties Associations network with great attention to gender themes and to social integration Project for self-entrepreneurship – Young Enterprises Incubator (Incubatore Giovani Imprese - MIGI) Which policies for gender equality?

  21.
