Rome, March 7. (AdnKronos Salute) – “In the pharmaceutical industry, 43% of workers are women and in the research and development sector, women are 52%, against 16.8% in other industrial sectors. So we can say that innovation and research are for women”. This was stated by the president of Farmindustria, Massimo Scaccabarozzi, during the conference 'Who said that women and men are equal?
Equal opportunities in difference', promoted by Farmindustria in Rome on the eve of International Women's Day. Not only. Women employed in the pharmaceutical industry “are 90% university graduates and diploma holders – observes Scaccabarozzi – They often hold positions of maximum responsibility. Suffice it to say that 1 out of 3 executives is a woman”. Roles protected with company policies aimed at promoting the conciliation between work and private life:
"The 69% of the drug companies (the 43% of the other sectors) has adopted ad hoc welfare measures". From a longer expectation in the event of maternity leave, to smart working, to laundry, shoemaking and take away services. And still scholarships and internships for children, discounts for the purchase of school books, training projects on new media, company kindergartens. But the pharmaceutical industry, underlined Scaccabarozzi, "has shown that it can also be a driving force for the country's economy: in fact, in recent years there has been a leap forward in terms of employment, which has reached 64,000 workers, production (30 billion), exports (72% of the total) and investments in research and development (+15% in the last two years)”.

Ed.: Exactly last year, commenting on the celebrations of 8 March, we wrote: “The exponents of Farmindustria celebrate 8 March, Women's Day. However, to avoid silly and pointless rhetoric, we would like to see what Farmindustria does, what it says, what measures it takes on the suicide of a mobbed ISF in Palermo?”
A year later, as far as we know, Farmindustria hasn't done anything. Any comment is superfluous
