The migrant-native ‘equilibrium’ in Western European labour markets: A long-term analysis
How Covid-19 has Affected Job Satisfaction Over Different time Horizons: A Multidimensional Analysis for Italy
The coronavirus pandemic drastically disrupted societies, altering daily routines and affecting economies' and labor markets' functioning. In the short-term, the labor market experienced diverse impacts: many workers lost jobs or faced temporary suspensions, while others transitioned to remote work or faced increased workloads in pandemic-critical roles. Despite these deep and heterogeneous impacts, and negative outlooks and expectations regardin…
Migration, social stratification, and labor market attainment: An analysis of the ethnic penalty in 12 Western European countries
This article presents a comprehensive investigation into the socioeconomic integration of migrants across 12 Western European countries, considering their likelihood of employment and socioeconomic status. Using the data from the European Social Survey, the study employs linear regression and probit models to achieve two aims: (a) to quantify the penalty for male and female migrants in terms of employment and socioeconomic status attainment; (b) …
Her class and his class: Does social class matter for fertility
This work explores the association between fertility behaviour and occupational social classes, over and above educational and income resources. We use European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data, pooling the longitudinal component for fourteen countries between 2005 and 2017. We compare the effect of the female partner's social class with that of the male partner on the likelihood of having a child, distinguishing be…
The later, the better? The ethnic penalty on labor market achievement by migrant generation: Evidence from Italy
The socio-economic inclusion of the children of immigrants in the host labor markets is still problematic, and connoted by a general penalization if compared with their native counterpart. Anyway, this issue has been studied only in old migration countries, while it remains largely unexplored in the new receiving ones. From this perspective, Italy represents a very interesting and uncharted case study, where first-generation migrants have already…
Migrant and Satisfied? The Ethnic Gap in Job Satisfaction in the Italian Labor Market
Job satisfaction is a desirable outcome both at the organizational and at the individual level. Anyway, little is known about the gap between natives’ and migrants’ job satisfaction, which represents a critical issue in the light of the increasing presence of foreigner workers in the Western labor markets. In order to shed light on this issue, we estimate a number of OLS models to quantify sex-specific natives’ and migrants’ job satisfaction, by …
Migrant penalty in the European labor markets: The interplay between individual characteristics and the regional context
This study aims to verify if and how migrant penalty in the labor market is associated with sub-national characteristics, exploring the relevance of the regional occupational structure. We expect that a greater relevance of the share of low-status jobs at the regional level reduces the migrant penalty in terms of the probability of being employed, but increases the gap with natives in terms of job quality. We investigate this trade-off by estimat…
Assessing Inclusivity Through Job Quality in Digital Plat‐Firms
A great deal of the literature has underlined how job quality is a key element in individual well‐being. However, the rise in platform work challenges this issue, since not only do “plat‐firms” play an increasingly important role in job matching, work organization, and industrial relations, but they also increase the risks of a poorly inclusive socio‐technical system in terms of the quality of working conditions and accessibility. In this sense, …
Linked generations: Child's Transition Into Unemployment and Parents' Mental Well-Being
Unemployment has a negative effect on the mental well-being of individuals who experience it. The well-being of the partners and children of these individuals is also negatively affected by this transition. Little is known, however, on the effect of the transition into unemployment on the mental well-being of the parents of unemployed people. This article analyses the association between child's transition into unemployment and parents' minor psy…
Job Satisfaction and Gender in Italy: A Structural Equation Modeling Approach
The aim of this study was to propose a reliable measurement model for the concept of job satisfaction in Italy and to test its measurement invariance across gender. We used the 2003 and 2009 Italian National Statistical Office (ISTAT) Family and Social Subjects (FSS) data, containing information on 8 dimensions of job satisfaction. The best-fitting model was a four-factor one, including the dimensions of intrinsic, rewards, timing and socio-conte…
Does the Survey Mode Affect the Association Between Subjective Well-being and its Determinants? An Experimental Comparison Between Face-to-Face and Web Mode
Subjective well-being research increasingly uses web surveys to understand how subjective well-being indicators are related to other concepts of interest. Although we know that mean scores on these indicators may differ between modes, we know little about whether a move to web will influence the conclusions we draw about our conceptual models. This study uses data from a unique mixed-mode survey collected in Croatia and Germany as part of the Gen…
The association between Covid-19 policy responses and mental well-being: Evidence from 28 European countries
Mobilizing precarious workers in Italy: Two Pathways of Collective Action Intentions
Following increased flexibilization of labour market and related decline of traditional labour unionism over the last few decades, studying mobilization processes of precarious workers has become particularly timely. While localized forms of organization and unionization are gradually emerging, little is known about why workers intend to join these coordinated forms of collective action. Integrating social movement studies with social psychologic…
Migration, Class Attainment and Social Mobility: An Analysis of Migrants' Socio-Economic Integration in Italy
This article focuses on the socio-economic integration of ethnic minorities in Italy, combining the literature on migration with research on social stratification. We analyse the ethnic penalty on occupational attainment and career mobility, integrating the origin-education-destination theoretical framework with the migration status. Since ethnic penalty is an 'umbrella concept', we also quantify the extent to which it is mediated by differences …
Ethnic penalty and occupational mobility in the Italian labour market
The article examines the occupational mobility of immigrants in Italy in a double perspective. First, this work compares immigrants and natives in order to understand whether, and to what extent, in a country characterized overall by low social mobility, natives and migrants have the same chances for improving their social position, or the latter are disadvantaged on an ethnic basis that affects their career (research question 1). Then, the artic…
The Polarization Myth: Occupational Upgrading in Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the UK, 1992-2015
The consensus view in economics is that labor markets are polarizing as job creation takes place in high-skilled and low-skilled occupations, while jobs shrink in midskilled ones. The authors argue that, in theoretical terms, polarization runs counter to all the trends that shaped the job structure over the past decades: skill-biased technological change, the international division of labor, and educational expansion. The authors then show that t…
