Despite full legal rights under law, women face considerable social discrimination in Italy. On average, women earn 23% less than men and are underrepresented in management, the professions, and other areas. The unemployment rate for women is nearly double that for men. Human rights are generally respected in Italy. Discrimination based on race, sex, religion, ethnicity, disability, and language is prohibited by law.

Historical
The country has a long history, as Rome its capital city today was founded in 753BC. After the Roman Empire broke down in 395AD, there were many separate kingdoms and city states. However, Italy became one nation only in 1861 and since then includes the islands of Sicily and Sardegna. It was a kingdom until 1946 after the second World War, where Italy sided with the German Nazis.
Evvironmental
Italy has been slow to confront its environmental problems. Central government agencies concerned with the environment are the Ministry for Ecology established in 1983, the Ministry of Culture and Environmental Quality, the National Council for Research, and the Ministry for Coordination of Scientific and Technological Research.
Technological
Now technology is changing at lightening speed making Italy's precarious position more obvious and its next steps increasingly important. At present, Italy is just beginning to adapt to Internet technology while on the other hand the use of a cellular phone is already in a mature state.
