Socio-economic institutions for the green transition. Comparing labour strategies in Italy and the Netherlands
Social actors face an eco-social-growth trilemma when addressing the ecological transition. This comparative analysis discusses the strategies adopted by metalworkers’ unions to tackle this trilemma in Taranto and IJmuiden. While the transition promises both environmental and public health benefits, it also poses challenges, including job cuts and uncertainties concerning profitability. In the Italian case, the unions prioritise job preservation,…
So Far, so Similar? Labour Market Feminization in Italy and Chile
The article aims to analyse gender segregation in the labour market while comparing two national contexts in Europe and Latin America. Specifically, it will consider the growth trends of female employment in the last 25 years (1992-2017), its distribution between activity sectors and occupations, and the gender pay gap. Feminization models and gender inequalities are framed within labour market segmentation theories, which are in partial contrast…
Labour market segmentation
The article focuses on the conditions of self-employed professionals in the European and Latin American labour markets, whose increase is linked to the expansion of on-demand service economy. Moving from a critic to the traditional segmentation theory, this group of high-skilled self-employed, expression of the upper-middle class and post-industrial work can be considered halfway between market and hierarchy, HR internalization and outsourcing. D…
Feminization and Labor Vulnerability in Global Manufacturing Industries
Two contested arguments persist in explaining the causes of feminization and labor vulnerability. Some scholars argue that global industries are dominated by female workers as a result of the search for cheap labor. On the other hand, some scholars claim that the primary cause of feminization and labor vulnerability is the gendered discourses of work. Drawing views from readymade garment ( RMG ) industries of B angladesh, this paper argues that b…
The Italian Case
This article on the Italian case is based on recent trends in labour market reform. We critically review the reform approach adopted in recent years, mainly centred on marginal legislative reforms in employment contracts. The diffusion of flexible labour contracts, especially among the younger generations and women, together with a welfare system still based on employment seniority and job characteristics, have reinforced the segmentation of the …
