Kinship Obligations in Nuclear and Extended Family Networks in Italy
Objective This study examines kinship obligations across nuclear and extended family ties, considering variations by support type, gender, and attitudinal moderators regarding the importance attached to emotional closeness, past conflict, reciprocity, and societal judgment. Background Existing research is predominantly concentrated on support exchanges and obligations in parent–child relationships. Therefore, it remains unknown to what extent kin…
Housing Conditions, Neighbourhood Area and Life Satisfaction in Older Age
This study contributes to the literature on environmental influences on individual life satisfaction in older age, by offering novel empirical evidence from Italy, a country marked by rapid population ageing, a difficult homeownership regime and pronounced territorial inequalities. We jointly investigate various aspects of the living environment, both the indoor characteristics of the housing—its stability, adequacy and affordability—and the outd…
Horizontal or Vertical? A Tale of Geographical Proximity in Italian Kinship Networks
The increasing predominance of the “beanpole” family, a structure characterized by multiple ties across generations but fewer within one generation, has led most scholars to focus on parent‐child (and grandparent‐grandchild) relationships, overlooking the relevance of the broader kinship network and its geographical spread. The geographical proximity between kin reveals patterns of potential support networks and is associated with subnational het…
Socio-economic differences in ART treatment success
Employment uncertainty and parenthood
This study aims to quantify the extent to which union formation mediates the relationship between employment uncertainty and the transition to parenthood, taking Italy as a case study. Research on the determinants of low fertility is increasingly shedding light on the negative effects of employment uncertainty. It is generally acknowledged that partnership formation plays a fundamental mediating role, as uncertain employment conditions may hamper…
Life-Course Trajectories of Childless Women
While existing research has documented complexities in biographies of childless women, few studies to date have systematically examined the life-course pathways of the childless from a comparative, cross-country perspective. In this paper, we analyse biographies of childless women in four countries—Germany, Italy, Poland, and the United States—in order to investigate whether pathways into childlessness are country-specific or commonly shared acro…
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
The Changing Association Between Homeownership and the Transition to Parenthood
The literature suggests a positive link between homeownership and the transition to parenthood. However, in recent decades, couples' preference for becoming homeowners before having their first child has been undermined by rising housing unaffordability and housing uncertainty. An archetypal example is Britain, where homeownership rates among young adults have fallen substantially as a result of low wages, unemployment, reductions in the availabi…
The positive impact of women's employment on divorce
Empirical findings regarding the impact of womenâ s employment on divorce are mixed. One explanation is that the effects are moderated by the country context. Another is that previous studies have failed to account for unobserved factors that introduce bias
Exploring the childless universe
In recent decades, several Western countries have experienced a large increase in childlessness. Relatively little is known about the profiles of childless women in Italy, and virtually nothing about childless men
Uncertain lives
Growing economic uncertainty has become an intrinsic characteristic of contemporary globalized societies in which an increasing number of people are moving in and out of jobs that may give little meaning to their lives. Among other things, economic uncerta
