Wellbeing at the Edge: Commuting, Gender and Territorial Disadvantage in Italian Inner Areas
Volunteering during early retirement reduces depression
Employment uncertainty and parenthood: Quantifying the mediating role of union formation
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…
Uncovering disability-free grandparenthood in Italy between 1998 and 2016 using gender-specific decomposition
BACKGROUND: Decreasing fertility rates and increasing lifespan affect the time grandparents and grandchildren co-exist. Any changes in the time and length of grandparenthood could alter the quality and the direction of intergenerational exchange. In Italy, a country in which grandparents constitute a fundamental resource for the provision of childcare and where families are the main source of support for individuals, studying grandparents' health…
The relationship between education and fertility preferences in Mexico: Lessons from Italy
Education is an important determinant of reproductive preferences. However, few studies have explored the evolution of its role in countries with different levels of fertility transition, due to the lack of adequate data. In this paper, we analyze the role of education as a determinant of fertility preferences in Mexico, a country which is rapidly approaching the end of fertility transition, albeit with substantial differences between different a…
Having Children in Europe: The Role of Social Capital
We explore the role of social capital in explaining reproductive behaviour and its differences among the European countries. We adopt a comprehensive concept of social capital that combines several elementary indicators and estimate its impact on the probability of having a first or a further child among reproductive-age women currently in a partnership union. We cluster countries in four groups and discuss the results in terms of different welfa…
Vulnerabilities in Mental Health due to Covid-19 Pandemic: The Response of the Italian Physicians
COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated the pre-existing vulnerabilities and inequalities in societies. In this paper we analyse the categories that have suffered more than others from the pandemic and the restrictions on social life in terms of mental health. We rely on the Serendipity project based on a survey administered between November 2021 and February 2022 to a sample of Italian physicians (n = 1281). The survey aimed to assess the perception o…
The Workforce Aging and Challenges for Policy and for Business. The Case of Italy
Across Europe, the working age population is decreasing and aging. In this study, with reference to Italy, we analyze the main demographic trends underlying these processes. By using data from the continuous Labor Force Survey, we show the effects of the overall population dynamics on workforce age structure and its composition by professional activities and economic sector. We argue that the observed changes in the labor market are only partiall…
Stability and change in family time transfers and workload inequality in Italian couples
This article analyses changes from 2003 to 2014 in the magnitude and directions of family time (i.e., non-market) transfers and in the gender distribution of total work among Italian couples
Which Aspects of Elderly Living Conditions are Important to Predict Mortality? The Complex Role of Family Ties at Home and in Institutions
Increasingly heterogeneous ages at first birth by education in Southern European and Anglo-American family-policy regimes: A seven-country comparison by birth cohort
According to the 'reproductive polarization' hypothesis, family-policy regimes unfavourable to the combination of employment with motherhood generate greater socio-economic differentials in fertility than other regimes. This hypothesis has been tested mainly for 'liberal' Anglo-American regimes. To investigate the effects elsewhere, we compared education differentials in age at first birth among native-born women of 1950s and 1960s birth cohorts …
Italy: Delayed adaptation of social institutions to changes in family behaviour
Considering its very low fertility and high age at childbearing, Italy stands alone in the European context and can hardly be compared with other countries, even those in the Southern region. The fertility decline occurred without any radical change in
Low fertility and limited diffusion of modern contraception in Italy during the second half of the twentieth century
Survival Trees: An Alternative Non-Parametric Multivariate Technique for Life History Analysis
Socio-Economic Factors and Family Size as Determinants of Marital Dissolution in Italy1
This study was carried out to investigate how and when union dissolution appears in the life cycle of an Italian woman through a legal or de-facto separation. Among Western European countries Italy stands out in terms of demographic behaviour. Italian society is in an advanced stage of demographic development regarding mortality and reproductive behaviour, but still shows traditional conjugal models and attitudes towards any form of cohabitation …
