Care economies
This special issue engages with the concept of ‘care economies’, broadly defined by sociologist Ito Peng (2019) as the economic sector concerned with caring for and nurturing present and future populations. This special issue challenges the tendency in the literature to reduce care to informal household labour by drawing attention to the ways in which care is increasingly commodified, formalized and regulated. By examining care economies both ins…
The economic feasibility of sustainable and healthy diets
This study focuses on the economic dimension of food poverty and aims to develop a replicable methodology for estimating the cost of adhering to Healthy and Sustainable Diet (HSD) patterns in Italy. Using a novel dataset built through web scraping from the Osservatorio Prezzi e Tariffe, we estimate diet costs across different population groups in line with national nutritional guidelines. The dataset provides detailed price information for key fo…
Comparison of Two Different Approaches to Measuring Economic Vulnerability to Food Insecurity
Rethinking Migration Studies for 2050
Migration is a complex social process not simply a response to development imbalances, or a solution to problems like unemployment, poverty or population aging. As such migration and mobility are shaped by broader processes of globalization, development, technological transformation, urbanization and in turn contribute to shaping those. This collective paper raises and seeks to answer important research and policy questions about migration and so…
Introducing digital tools for sustainable food supply management
Reducing food waste is essential if we want to create a more sustainable food system, which is why halving per capita food waste by 2030 has been included in the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The main aim of this paper is to demonstrate that by using digital tools to monitor food provisioning and management within canteens, it is possible to achieve a more sustainable food service management within industrial companies and to reduce the overa…
Variation in Cause-Specific Mortality Rates in Italy during the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic
Italy was a country severely hit by the first coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic wave in early 2020. Mortality studies have focused on the overall excess mortality observed during the pandemic. This paper investigates the cause-specific mortality in Italy from March 2020 to April 2020 and the variation in mortality rates compared with those in 2015-2019 regarding sex, age, and epidemic area. Causes of death were derived from the nationa…
Dilemmas around temporariness and transnational recruitment agencies
The precarious nature of caregivers’ migration is one of the fundamental characteristics of the growing marketisation of home-based care at the transnational level. Against this background, scholars have dedicated increasing attention to the role of private actors involved in the transnational recruitment/employment of migrant caregivers, such as the for-profit agencies, asking whether these intermediaries are a good or a bad thing. In order to u…
The Economic Perspective of Food Poverty and (In)security
The discourse of powerlessness and repression
Recensione su invito del libro "The discourse of powerlessness and repression: life stories of domestic migrant workers in Hong Kong" di Hans Ladegaard, Routledge, Oxford and New York, 2017, pp. xi +229, £110/$160 (hbk), ISBN 978-1-138-64047-4
The Global Governance of Paid Domestic Work
This article looks at the gradual development of a 'global governance of paid domestic work' by assessing the impact of the ILO Convention n. 189 on campaigns for domestic workers' rights in different countries. Here I compare the case of Ecuador and India as two contrasting examples of the ways in which state and non-state organizations have positioned themselves around the issue, revealing how the context-dependent character of domestic workers…
From the Commodification to the Corporatization of Care
Recent developments in western Europe show that for-profit companies of different sizes, including large multinational firms, are increasingly investing in care and buying significant shares within the ongoing privatization of national health and care systems. Reflecting upon these developments, this article argues that the current reconfiguration of care is driven not only by processes of commodification and marketization but also by complex mec…
Policing gender mobilities
This article proposes a gendered critique of the European Neighbourhood Policy, a framework that, amongst other things, aims to facilitate the mobility of migrants to the EU from the bordering countries. We highlight the ambivalences of European gender and migration regimes, and we take issue with the celebration of the ‘feminisation of migration’. The former fails to offer opportunities to women to safely embark on autonomous migratory projects,…
Estimates of Household Consumption Expenditure at Provincial Level in Italy by Using Small Area Estimation Methods
Migration and Domestic Work
This open access short reader offers a systematic overview of the scholarly debate on the experiences of migrant domestic workers at a global level, in the past as well as in present time. It tackles the nexus between migration and domestic work with a multi-layered approach. The book looks into the issue of (paid) domestic work in migratory contexts by investigating the feminization of migration, thereby considering the larger framework within w…
