Positive actions, introduced by Law No. 125 of 10 April 1991 and governed by Articles 44 et seq. of Legislative Decree No. 198/2006 ‘Code of equal opportunities between men and women’, represented a fundamental turning point in policies aimed at removing obstacles to full and effective equality of opportunity between men and women, forming a culture of gender difference, promoting female employment, implementing new policies on time and life cycles, and removing horizontal and vertical occupational segregation.
