The influence of housing on inequality, poverty and individuals’ income rankings in EU-27 countries
The standard definition of disposable income used in comparisons of inequality and poverty does not consider costs and benefits from housing. Such exclusion might bias comparisons of the features of the income distribution across countries. Against this background, the contribution of this article is twofold. First, it reviews the methods proposed to take account of the advantages coming from home ownership, assessing pros and cons of the imputed…
When mobility matters
Drawing on a matched survey–administrative dataset tracking careers from 1975 to 2018, we examine the trends in intragenerational earnings mobility in Italy over the past 40 years. We compare earnings trajectories from age 35 to age 45 via a refined version of the ‘income risk decomposition’ proposed by Austin Nichols in 2008, distinguishing between ‘good’ and ‘bad’ earnings mobility from an individual welfare perspective. Our findings reveal tha…
The large family penalty in Italy
This paper argues that public policies, including minimum income schemes (MIS), should devote specific attention to large families, in terms of both benefits' generosity and targeting, to avoid unfair penalizations. Adopting a child‐centered approach to the definition of family size, and using a unique administrative‐survey linked database, this study provides two main contributions for the Italian case. First, it documents the consumption‐based …
Digitalization and the Welfare State
Digitalization is likely to have a lasting impact on work, welfare, health, education, and the income distribution. It will radically transform not only social risks but also the means by which these are addressed. The contributions to this volume explore how digitalization—in different forms—affects the welfare state. They study how it influences concrete social policies as well as the underlying power relationship between actors, i.e. the polit…
SOS incomes
Using a static microsimulation model based on a link between survey and administrative data, this article investigates the effects of the pandemic on income distribution in Italy in 2020. The analysis focuses on both individuals and households by simulating through nowcasting techniques changes in labour income and in equivalized income, respectively. For both units of observations, we compare changes before and after social policy interventions,…
Income-Based and Consumption-Based Measurement of Absolute Poverty
Intergenerational Earnings Persistence in Italy between Actual Father–Son Pairs Accounting for Lifecycle and Attenuation Bias
Using a longitudinal dataset built merging administrative and survey data, we contribute to the literature on intergenerational inequality providing the first estimate of the intergenerational earnings elasticity (IGE) in Italy based on actual father–son pairs, taking into account issues related to measurement biases and comparing the size of the lifecycle bias when sons are selected by age or by potential experience (i.e. the number of years sin…
Market competition and parental background wage premium
Age at graduation and its reflections in early career prospects
We analyse the association between age at tertiary graduation and outcomes of the first phase of the working career in Italy by using a rich longitudinal dataset built merging EU-SILC survey data with individual administrative records on working careers. Labour market outcomes is observed at the entry and along the 10-year period from graduation. No large differences in weekly and annual earnings and worked weeks emerge across individuals who att…
Early-Career Complexity Before and After Labour-Market Deregulation in Italy
Labour-market deregulation may have generated more unstable and complex employment life courses. As exposure to highly volatile early-career trajectories has long-lasting consequences for the working lives of individuals, it is especially important to consider how these processes have affected younger workers in countries like Italy. Here, deregulation 'at the margins' of the labour market has been characterized by a strong age divide and has exa…
Longitudinal employment trajectories and health in middle life
The paper adopts a long-term perspective in analysing the association between health and employment histories, often characterized by substantial mobility over time across multiple statuses and contractual arrangements. The available evidence is largely ba

Austerity-Driven Labour Market Reforms in Southern Europe
The sovereign debt crisis in the Eurozone and increased pressures for ‘structural reform’ have led to a period of intensive change in labour market policy in Southern Europe. Examining the cases of Greece, Portugal, Spain and Italy, this article focuses on the security of labour market insiders, a key group in labour markets that is highly segmented. The security of labour market insiders is conceptualised as consisting of security in employment …
Intergenerational Transmission of Inequalities in Southern European Countries in Comparative Perspective
Economic studies usually assess the link between parental background and offspring's incomes without distinguishing the effects that family background may have upon educational attainment and upon occupation and earnings, independently from education. The persistency of income inequality across generations is then usually imputed to the reduced investment in human capital of individuals coming from disadvantaged backgrounds. In fact, a clear dist…

Poverty Transitions and Trigger Events across EU Groups of Countries
The dynamics of income poverty in European countries have been extensively analysed using the ECHP dataset, run from 1994 to 2001 in the 'old' fifteen member states. Using EU-SILC longitudinal data, the purpose of this paper is to update this type of analysis to 2006 by including the 'new' EU member states and focusing on poverty mobility. The demographic and economic events associated with households falling into or exiting poverty are analysed …
Poverty Dynamics in Clusters of European Union Countries
The Flip Side of the Coin
The Ageing Working Group (AWG) assesses the long-term sustainability of public finances by presenting a set of public expenditure projections for all Member States, including projections on pensions. These projections are based on demographic forecasts and agreed assumptions on key economic variables. The adequacy and sustainability of pensions are, however, two sides of the same coin and a full assessment of pensions therefore requires integrati…
