Employment Trajectories in Early Adulthood and Later Fertility
The association between employment and fertility is typically studied using single work episodes and transitions between parities, potentially overlooking the complexity of individual trajectories. In this study we examine whether the type of employment trajectories experienced in early adulthood – especially those related to a greater economic vulnerability – is associated with fertility in Italy. Specifically, we focus on cumulated fertility at…
Life Satisfaction and Internet Use in Later Life in Italy
This study aimed to provide new insights into the role of internet use in the life satisfaction of older people in Italy, considering, in detail, the types of their online activities and the potential differences between these activities according to the old people’s genders and living arrangements. The data came from the survey Aspects of Daily Life conducted by the Italian National Institute of Statistics in 2021. The results of the logistic re…
First Union Formation in Italy
In this paper, we use data from the ‘Families and Social Subjects’ survey conducted by the Italian National Institute of Statistics in 2016 to study the impact of micro- and macro-level economic conditions on first co-residential union formation. We aim to determine if and to what extent the probability of forming the first union is explained by individual labour market positions (e.g. having non-standard employment or not having work), and addit…
Diverse pathways in young Italians' entrance into sexual life
Sexual development is a complex process, the study of which should consider not only first sexual intercourse but also multiple behavioural trajectories in a comprehensive perspective. Moreover, first romantic relationships and sexual experimentation durin
Social relations and life satisfaction
Social capital is defined as the individual’s pool of social resources found in his/her personal network. A recent study on Italians living as couples has shown that friendship relationships, beyond those within an individual’s family, are an important source of support. Here, we used data from Aspects of Daily Life, the Italian National Statistical Institute’s 2012 multipurpose survey, to analyze the relation between friendship ties and life sat…
Childcare by grandparents in married and cohabiting couples
The process of union formation and the context of childrearing have profoundly changed with the spread of cohabitation in the last few decades. It is only recently that some attention has been paid to the implications of these changes for family ties. This study considers, with reference to Italy, a specific relationship between individuals in couples and their family of origin - childcare by grandparents. The aim of the paper is twofold. First, …

Living arrangement and cognitive decline among older people in Europe
Family resources may play an important role in the wellbeing of older people. In this paper, we examine the association between living arrangement and cognitive decline among people over 65 living in different European countries. The underlined hypothesis is that living with others ( i.e. spouse or/and children) vis-à-vis living alone may have a positive role in maintaining cognitive functioning, but also that such beneficial influence varies acc…
Social policies, separation, and second birth spacing in Western Europe
This paper studies postseparation fertility behavior. The aim is to investigate whether, and if so how, separation affects second birth spacing in Western European countries
A multilevel competing risks model for analysis of university students' careers in Italy
This paper examines individual and institutional characteristics which may influence the outcomes of university students’ careers. Withdrawals, course changes, delays and graduations of students enrolled in first-cycle degree courses in a large public university in Italy are examined. Individual longitudinal data from administrative archives were used, taking into account both the temporal dimension and the organisational and structural character…

Life satisfaction among older people in Italy in a gender approach
Over the last few decades, increasing attention has been paid to the issue of wellbeing among older people, and life satisfaction has been used as an indicator to evaluate older people's life conditions. This paper sheds some light on this topic with reference to Italy, a country characterised by an increasing ageing population. The aim is to examine life satisfaction among people aged 65 and older and its predictors. We adopt a gender approach t…
The determinants of academic outcomes in a competing risks approach
The literature has suggested that studentsâ progress at university is influenced by their personal characteristics; this paper examines whether these factors act differently according to the study fields of degree courses in which students are enrolled. In particular, the factors influencing the various outcomes of the university programme (withdrawals, course changes, delays, completion of degrees) in three-year degree courses in a large Italian…
Non-resident parent-child contact after marital dissolution and parental repartnering
With the diffusion of marital instability, the number of children who spend some of their childhood without one of their parents has become significant, even in Italy. Therefore, given the importance of parent-child interactions for childrenâ s wellbeing, a
Family contexts and adolescents' emotional status
Children's living arrangements have become increasingly diverse and complex in recent decades: a significant proportion of children reside in stepfamilies or in separated one-parent families, even in countries such as Italy, which only recently is undergoing a transition from traditional to less traditional family behaviours. The present study explores whether – given the still relatively traditional family context – adolescents experiencing pare…
Household Labor Allocation Among Married and Cohabiting Couples in Italy
This article examines the differences between currently married and currently cohabiting couples in their household labor allocation in Italy, distinguishing the experience of both premarital cohabitation and previous unions with other partners. Results suggest that, on one hand, cohabiting couples present more equal arrangements of household labor time than married ones, but the more equal allocation of premarital cohabitation is not carried int…
Family Structures and Health Behaviour in Adolescents
The Context of Body Art
The present study analyses factors associated with the propensity for piercing and tattooing among adolescents, from a survey conducted in 2007 in high schools in the Veneto Region (Northeast Italy). After some descriptive analyses, multinomial logistic regression models were applied to identify what predicts the practice of, interest in, or indifference to piercing and tattooing. Results show gender differences in the approach to body modificati…
Do Neighbourhoods Have an Influence on Reproductive Intentions? Empirical Evidence from Milan
Meggiolaro S. Do neighbourhoods have an influence on reproductive intentions? Empirical evidence from Milan, Regional Studies. This paper aims at studying the contextual effect on reproductive intentions with an innovative approach. It considers women and the groups to which they belong ‘close up’, using data in very great territorial detail with reference to an Italian metropolitan area: Milan. This allows context to be described in an in-depth …
