Geographical Mobility and Occupational Achievement: Examining the Role of Italian Cities as «Escalator» Regions
This study investigates the relationship between geographical mobility and occupational achievement focusing on internal migration processes that occurred in the second half of the 20th century in Italy. Using retrospective information from the Italian Household Longitudinal Survey (IHLS), the study clarifies whether certain destinations, particularly large urban centres in central and northern Italy, provide inter‐regional migrants with systemat…
Italian graduates’ geographical mobility patterns: Selectivity and regional inequalities
The attraction and retention of graduates are crucial for Italy’s regional development, especially given the north–south divide. We investigate the interregional migration patterns of Italian graduates, distinguishing between pre- and post-graduation mobility. Analysing the Istat survey on university graduates’ vocational integration 2015, we identify five mobility profiles: university stayers, repeat migrants, late migrants, return migrants and …
Gender and Internal Geographical Mobility in Europe: A Comparative Analysis of Family and Employment Over the Life Course
This article presents an investigation into the gendered outcomes of inter-regional moves in six European countries, adopting a life-course perspective. Analyses are based on retrospective data from SHARELIFE for birth cohorts from the 1930s to 1960s in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, and Sweden. Linear probability panel models with fixed effects are used to examine the association between inter-regional migration and employment status ove…
Couple Mobility and Employment Patterns. A Gender Perspective in Six European Countries
Objective This study investigates how different couple‐based geographical mobility strategies affect employment probabilities for men and women in six European countries from a gender perspective. Background Although geographical mobility is often linked to improved labor market outcomes, women tend to face social and economic disadvantages compared to men. This discrepancy is frequently attributed to family migration dynamics, yet the specific e…
Living Arrangements and Social Inheritance among Second-Generation Immigrants in the United States at the Beginning of the Twentieth Century
Children of immigrants experience similar socioeconomic and institutional contexts as the majority population but are also influenced by cultural norms inherited from their parents' countries of origin. Data from 1910, 1920, and 1930 census samples indicate how the country of origin influences the living arrangements of European second-generation immigrants in the United States. The findings suggest that children of immigrants tend to stay longer…
Legal Status and Fertility Patterns: Regulation-Induced Disruption Among Previously Undocumented Immigrant Women in Italy
We explore, using a unique survey dataset containing retrospective information on immigrants’ legal status, the relationship between previous irregular experience—from arrival up to the first residence permit achievement—and fertility patterns among non-EU immigrant women in Italy. While competing hypotheses explaining migrants’ fertility behaviour have been recurrently offered, there is a substantial lack of knowledge on the role of undocumented…
The selectivity of internal movers: An analysis of the relationship between education, social origin, and geographical mobility in Europe
This paper aims to analyse the social selectivity of internal movers in six European countries, by examining the influence of education and social origin on the likelihood of moving. The study, using ShareLife data, reveals country-specific variations in social selectivity. France and Poland show a skilled selection of internal movers, where education is the primary factor affecting the likelihood of moving, with no additional effect of social or…
Migrazioni e disuguaglianze sociali nel mercato del lavoro italiano
This article introduces the special issue of Sociologia del lavoro on Labour migrations, inequalities and regulation from the Great Recession to the pandemic crisis. After explaining the role that Italy and Italian scholars have played in recent decades in the development of literature on labour migrations, the authors explore the reasons justifying a special issue dedicated to this topic, focusing on the Italian case. In particular, three reason…
Traces in the shadow: Occupational outcomes of previously undocumented migrants in Italy
Using a representative sample of currently legal third‐country immigrants in Italy, obtained from the Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens survey, this article examines the long‐term labour market consequences of previous undocumented spells. First, formerly undocumented immigrants are identified using retrospective information on respondents' legal status. Second, immigrants are classified according to the duration of irregular s…
Labour Market Participation and Fertility in Seven European Countries: A Comparative Perspective
Although evidence suggests a correlation between fertility and employment, comparative studies on this topic are relatively scarce, particularly when considering the diverse ways in which the two variables interact in different countries. The aim of this article is to analyse the relationship between the employment and reproductive behaviours of women born between 1940 and 1979 in seven European countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, France, German…
Transnational Parenthood and Migrant Subjective Well-Being in Italy
Transnational parents are migrant mothers and fathers who have at least one child left behind in the home country. Despite their non-negligible prevalence in many destination countries, scarcity of data on the topic has caused a lack of attention to this phenomenon in both policy and scholarship. In particular, little is known about how the interplay between migration and family relations at a distance affects the individual well-being of both mi…
Breaking down the barriers: Educational Paths, Labour Market Outcomes and Wellbeing of Children of Immigrants
The goal of successfully incorporating ethnic minorities represents a decisive challenge for modern societies. However, migratory background continues to negatively affect the life trajectories of migrants’ descendants. ‘Hard’ and ‘soft’ barriers determine long-term inequality gaps and low intergenerational social mobility in both longstanding and more recent European immigration countries. This special issue complements the sparse findings on ed…
L’emigrazione dei laureati italiani: Un’analisi delle caratteristiche individuali che favoriscono la mobilità internazionale
Through the integration of data from three waves of the Istat survey on the professional integration of Italian graduates (2007, 2011 and 2015), this paper aims at describing both the individual characteristics of graduates that are associated with a higher propensity to migrate and the intentions of international mobility among graduates who are unemployed three years after graduation. Results show that both the migration and the intention to em…
Presentazione
La storia italiana è caratterizzata da una complessa storia migratoria, sia interna sia internazionale (Bonifazi, 2013; Colombo, Dalla Zuanna, 2019). Per quasi un secolo, dopo la sua formazione, l’Italia è stato uno dei principali esportatori di manodopera a livello mondiale. Tra il 1870 e il 1970, circa 25 milioni di persone hanno lasciato l’Italia per lavorare in altri continenti o in altri paesi europei (Casacchia, Strozza, 2002), un numero si…
Migrants’ Fertility in Italy: A Comparison Between Origin and Destination
Living arrangements of adult children of immigrants in selected European countries
The living arrangements of adult children of immigrants are shaped across Europe by both the dominant norms of mainstream society and the intergenerational transmission of values and practices
Internal Migration Trajectories, Occupational Achievement and Social Mobility in Contemporary Italy. A Life Course Perspective
This work analyses the interrelation among migration, student career, job experiences and family formation. It focuses on Italian South‐to‐North internal migration. Empirical analyses first describe the life patterns experienced by internal migrants, and then study the selection into different migration trajectories, as well as their association with different occupational achievements and social mobility pathways. The analyses are based on longi…
Student mobility in Italy: The increasing role of family background during the expansion of higher education supply
The changing pattern of cohabitation: A sequence analysis approach
During the last decades, nonmarital cohabitation has diffused throughout the industrialised world, although not uniformly. The Second Demographic Transition (SDT) predicts a convergence of cohabitation patterns towards a final stage in which cohabitation a
Individual skills and student mobility in Italy: A regional perspective
Investigating how qualified human capital is spatially redistributed within a country, and what drives such process in the first place, is essential to understand which regions benefit from its concentration in terms of enhanced productivity and potential for growth. Applying structural equations modelling to the Italian National Institute of Statistics’ (ISTAT) Survey on Educational and Professional Paths of Upper Secondary School Graduates 2011…
The Transition to Adulthood of the Italian Second Generation in France
Secularization, Union Formation Practices, and Marital Stability: Evidence from Italy
Descriptive statistics indicate that civil marriages and marriages preceded by premarital cohabitation are more unstable, i.e., more frequently followed by divorce. However, the literature has shown that selectivity plays an important role in the relationship between premarital cohabitation and union dissolution. We do not have evidence to date regarding the selectivity in the effect of civil marriage. The Italian case appears particularly intere…
Maples: A general method for the estimation of age profiles from standard demographic surveys (with an application to fertility)
In this paper we present MAPLES (Method for Age Profiles Longitudinal EStimation), a general method for the estimation of age profiles that uses standard micro-level demographic survey data. The aim is to estimate smoothed age profiles and relative ris
