Suffering Between Disenchantment and Re-Enchantment in Max Weber and Beyond
Suffering and theodicy are two interconnected concepts: while the former indicates the embodied personal experience of pain, the latter represents the theological effort to explain the existence of suffering and evil by reconciling them with the idea of a world created by an omnipotent, omniscient, and infinitely good God. From a sociological perspective, the first scholar to address the problematic relationship between these two concepts was Max…
Intergenerational Fairness and Ageing Styles in Europe
Demographic trends over the last decades and future projections clearly indicate a steady increase in the proportion of older adults (65+) relative to both the working-age (15–64) and child populations (0–15) across Europe. This demographic shift—driven by rising life expectancy and declining fertility—raises pressing challenges for intergenerational equity and questions the sustainability of the implicit formal and informal “social contract” tha…
Covid-19 and Social and Health Inequalities in Italy
The article begins by introducing three questions that make the Italian case of health inequalities during the COVID-19 pandemic particularly interesting and goes on to discuss the problem of an appropriate and valid model to analyse the outbreak, defining it as a "syndemic" and not simply a pandemic. Given the unsatisfactory heuristic value of the current, most common models of social determinants of health inequalities in terms of the syndemic …
Trends in Activity Limitations From an International Perspective
Objectives: Examine trends in limitations among young (15-39), middle-aged (40-64) and older age-groups (>=65) and their socioeconomic differences. Methods: Population-based European Social Survey data ( N = 396,853) were used, covering 30 mostly European countries and spanning the time-period 2002-2018. Limitations were measured using a global activity limitations indicator. Results: Age-differential trends in limitations were found. Activity li…
The European Health Systems Facing the Covid-19 Outbreak
The article proposes the concept of ‘health macro-region’ as a comprehensive contextual framework for comparative analysis of European health systems beyond the conventional ‘methodological nationalism’ in comparative research based on national analyses. The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic in five European health macro-regions is then examined by an analysis of the epidemiological data to assess whether there have been significant differences in …
A Mediterranean paradigm? Convergence and divergence in the Southern European Health Care Systems
The concept of a ‘Mediterranean paradigm’ was raised by Josep Figueras in 1994 as a distinctive Southern European model for the health care systems of Italy, Spain and Greece based on the basis of six factors. The subsequent debate (including Portugal, too) is reconstructed on the basis of pros and cons arguments. The specific contribution of the author to the debate - consisting in the proposal of the concept of ‘health macro-region’ as an analy…
