The data refer to individuals who “wrote code in a programming language”. The latest data refer to a recall period of 3 months prior to being surveyed, though some countries use different periods and recall periods may vary over time.  

For women, the percentage is notably low, with Italy lagging slightly behind the OECD average. Among men, the percentage is higher, yet Italy still appears to have a slightly lower share of young programmers compared to the OECD benchmark.

The data underscores the need for more inclusive STEM education policies and initiatives to bridge this digital skills divide and promote greater gender equality in technology-related fields. 

This chart visualizes the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) trends of OECD countries over time. Each colored band represents the GDP contribution of a specific country, highlighting relative economic growth, fluctuations, and shifts in economic dominance.  

This streamgraph visualizes GDP distribution across multiple countries over time, with the x-axis representing years and the y-axis indicating GDP values. The United States dominates the chart, maintaining the largest GDP throughout the period. Major economies such as Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, and France follow, creating a clear stratification of economic power. The overall widening of streams suggests economic growth, though at different rates, while the general ranking among the top economies remains stable. The lower portion of the chart, with numerous interweaving streams, highlights the complexity and interconnectedness of the global economy. Finally, the visualization effectively illustrates economic disparities, showcasing the vast difference in GDP between leading economies and smaller nations.

This chart displays a comparison of GDP trends for four specific countries—Australia, Italy, UK, and USA—from approximately 2016 to 2018. It uses a stacked 3D bar chart format where each country is represented by a different color (Australia in light blue, Italy in purple, UK in green, and USA in red/orange).  

The visualization shows the relative economic size and growth patterns of these four OECD nations. The UK (green bars) appears to have the largest representation in the chart with substantial growth in the final two time periods. Italy (purple) maintains a relatively stable middle position throughout. Australia (light blue) forms the foundation of each stack and shows gradual growth. The USA has minimal representation in the chart, appearing only as small portions in some years.

This chart displays "Gender GAP vs GDP in Italy 2018-2022" using a 3D bar graph visualization. For each year from 2018 to 2022, three bars are shown: blue bars representing GDP (the tallest), purple bars for Men, and green bars for Women (the shortest). The GDP values fluctuate over the five-year period, with noticeable dips in 2019 and 2020 (likely reflecting the COVID-19 pandemic's impact), followed by recovery in 2021 and slight decline in 2022.

The significant height difference between the Men and Women bars illustrates a persistent gender gap throughout this period, with men consistently maintaining higher values than women. The gap appears relatively stable across the timeframe, though with some minor variations year to year. The visualization effectively highlights both Italy's economic performance and gender-based disparities within a single framework.

This chart displays "Gender GAP in OECD Economies in 2022" using a bubble chart visualization technique. The chart organizes OECD member countries by geographical regions, represented by different colored clusters.

Each bubble likely represents an individual country, and the size of the bubbles may represent the magnitude of the gender gap or possibly the size of the economy. The clustering suggests regional patterns in gender equality measures across OECD nations.
