Italy

Italy's WokeMeter score is assessed at 66, placing it within a high intensity range in terms of social policy signalling. This aligns with its global ranking of ninth out of 186 countries, and a percentile position of 95.2. The presence of Giorgia Meloni, Italy's first female Prime Minister, contributes significantly to this score, signalling a progressive stance in leadership representation despite the nation's conservative government. Italy's compliance with the EU Digital Services Act and the enforcement of board diversity quotas further enhance its signalling intensity. These factors collectively justify the score, demonstrating a robust framework of Western-style progressive policies.

The dimension scores exhibit consistency across various policy areas, each marking 66.14, except for Legislative/Regulatory Activism which is slightly lower at 65.16. This uniformity indicates a balanced approach in Italy's policy signalling across speech and expression, institutional DEI policy, education, media moderation, corporate signalling, and activism salience. The slightly lower score in Legislative/Regulatory Activism suggests a marginally reduced intensity in legislative efforts compared to other dimensions. Overall, Italy maintains a comprehensive approach to policy signalling, with consistent emphasis across multiple areas of progressive policy frameworks.
