Personnel and human resources ENG

In the Italian universities, the academic year 2022/2023 saw an increase in teaching and non-teaching staff (structured and non-structured) of 2.4% compared to the previous year, UniTo, thanks also to its excellent results, increased its staff by 6.1% (+4.3% increase in teaching staff – +8.7% increase in technical-administrative staff).

In the academic year 2023/2024 UniTo recorded a 5.8% increase in its workforce (+4.3% teaching staff, +7.7% increase in technical-administrative staff), an analysis of the data shows moderate growth in the total number of teaching staff, with a significant increase in the number of fixed-term researchers (Letter A), indicating an increase in the resources committed to research activities.

The combined analysis of workforce-related data and recruitment trends provides an overall view of the evolution of the teaching and non-teaching workforce, highlighting sustained growth in the non-teaching sector and dynamic management of teaching staff, with a continuous focus on expanding research and strengthening the supporting infrastructure.

Observing the data through the lens of ‘gender’, there is an upward trend for both males and females in almost all categories, with a slightly higher incidence for females in both academic and non-academic roles.

The percentage of women within the teaching staff rose to 44.17% in 2023 from 43.92% in 2022, remaining well above the national average of 41.7% (Ustat data 2022- 2023). Regarding technical and administrative staff, the percentage of women (around 69%) far exceeds the national average of 60.8% (Ustat data 2022-2023).

The increase in female representation in roles traditionally held by men, such as full professors, suggests progress towards a better gender balance, these figures therefore tell of UniTo’s positive commitment to reducing the gender gap in workforce, also thanks to active policies in this direction.

There is still a long way to go.
