A Fuzzy Index and Severity Scale to Measure Violence Against Women
Sex Work and Trafficking
This contribution examines how feminist economists have conceptualized sex work and trafficking through the lens of agency and stigma. The ongoing debate about legalization has focused on sex workers’ agency and choice, and on the role of stigma in shaping the supply of and demand for sex work. Building on the analysis advanced by contributions to this special issue, this study contends that theoretical and policy debates about sex work are domin…
Unequal Ageing in Europe
While much is known about the situation in the labour market in the form of gender pay and earnings gaps, rather little is understood about their sequel in old age the gender pension gap. Entering the
Gender and the European Labour Market
The paper investigates the ways in which different countries have addressed the question of making market care affordable to families while keeping public costs under control. We first analyse the conditions regulating the care market and its division between regular and irregular work. The latter does not necessarily coincide with immigrant work. While in some countries the two figures coincide, this is not the case in others: we start from the …
Care Regimes and the European Employment Rate
The expressions ‘care work’, ‘care services’ and ‘care regimes’ have recently entered the vocabulary of the socioeconomic literature located at the intersection of analysis of the welfare state, studies on social policy, and feminist research (Lewis, 2001; Anttonnen et al., 2003; Folbre, 2008). In a broad sense, ‘care’ is the activity of looking after people unable to take care of themselves. It comprises health care, teaching and special needs e…
Change in care regimes and female migration
Concern over the need to provide long-term care for an ageing population has stimulated a search for new solutions able to ensure financial viability and a better balance between demand and supply of care. There is at present a great variety of care regimes across industrial countries, with Mediterranean countries forming a distinctive cluster where management of care is overwhelmingly entrusted to the family. In some of these countries elderly c…
Comparing Care Regimes in Europe
Throughout Europe, the family is still an important provider of care, but welfare state policies of individual countries may support and/or supplement the family in different ways, generating different \nsocial and economic outcomes. This article compares and categorizes care strategies for children and elderly persons in different member states of the European Union, while also taking into account the \nvaried modalities for providing care, like…

To What Extent does it Pay to be Better Educated? Education and the Work Market for Women in Italy
Italian women are doing progressively better than men in terms of educational attainment. While, however, this has not fully materialized as overall employment gains for women, it is contributing to the enhancement of differences among them. Female participation is low mainly because poorly educated women are disproportionately excluded from the (official) labour market. Also, female unemployment remains high and the puzzling association between …
