Adaptation to paternal leave policies in Finnish municipalities: Changing gender norms and cross-border policy legacies
Countries where public opinion tends to favour gender equality tend to invest in policies supporting the dual-earner family model or the earner–carer family model, while countries where public opinion is more inclined to support conservative gender norms tend to have policies supporting the male breadwinner family model. However, even though gender equality norms may be endorsed by the majority of the population, conservative norms could still be…
Contextualizing inequalities in the gig economy: Evidence from online cleaning platforms in five European cities
Purpose This paper explores the impact of national contexts on the profile of workers in the gig economy, with a specific focus on online cleaning platforms. The study aims to understand how national contexts influence the gender and ethnic composition of workers on domestic cleaning platforms, examining the intersectional effects of gender and ethnicity in platform-based work. Design/methodology/approach Focusing on the case of the Yoopies platf…
A double Matthew effect? Income and territorial inequalities in 0–2 Ecec uptake: Italy and Sweden compared
Purpose This article explores income and territorial inequalities in the uptake of early childhood education and care (ECEC) services for children aged 0–2 in two contrasting welfare contexts, Italy and Sweden. It investigates whether these dimensions intersect to create a double Matthew effect, whereby the most disadvantaged households face compounded barriers to access. Design/methodology/approach The analysis is based on cross-sectional EU-SIL…
In-work poverty and family policy in Italy: From a Frozen to a Thawing Landscape
The article investigates in-work poverty (IWP) in Italy through the lens of family policies. Adopting a longitudinal perspective, the work scrutinizes whether and to what extent the configuration of family policy tools – family allowances, leave and ECEC (Early Childhood Care and Education) – has been effective in contrasting IWP in Italy. Furthermore, it probes whether the Italian family policy has reconfigured over time as a tool for countering…
New Shades of Conflict? Theorising the Multi-Dimensional Politics of Eco-Social Policies - Corrigendum
New shades of conflict? Theorising the multi-dimensional politics of eco-social policies
This article presents a novel framework for analysing the politics of eco-social policies, focusing on the political conflicts surrounding this third generation of social risks. We distinguish two key dimensions of conflict: an ideational approach dimension, which focuses on conflicts among political actors over the possible synergies and trade-offs between social and ecological goals and their potential integration through eco-social policies, a…
The Mainstream Right and Family Policy Agendas in the Post-Fordist Age: Beyond Familialism?
Anchored in a new theoretical framework that combines the insights of a variety of sociological and political science approaches, this study offers an understanding of the changes in the Mainstream Right’s family policy preferences and their drivers over time and across countries.
Does the Platform clean the Cleaners? An Exploratory Study on the Platformization of Dirty Jobs in Italy
The paper presents the main findings of an exploratory study concerning the platformization of “dirty jobs” – specifically, cleaning work – in Italy, focusing on the Yoopies.it marketplace platform. Cleaning activity is inherently dirty work: an occupation that is likely to be perceived as disgusting or degrading and that has strong gender and ethnic connotations in Italy. Invisibility is ideal for this type of service, but what happens when the …

The gender dimension of outsiderness in Western Europe: A comparative cross-model analysis
Purpose The article investigates whether and to what extent outsiderness is gendered in Western Europe, both in terms of its spread and degree. It thus explores which male and female post-Fordist social classes are more exposed to the risk of this phenomenon. It also scrutinizes whether such a gendered characterization has varied over time and across clusters of Western European countries. Design/methodology/approach Relying on a comparative anal…
Italy and Spain at a crossroads: The politics of active social policies in southern Europe under a gender perspective
Purpose The article explores to what extent party politics has influenced the different trajectories in Spain and Italy in terms of gendered active social policies (ASPs) (i.e. ALMPs and WLBPs). Second, it investigates how social and political modernization in the two countries has facilitated or hindered party competition on gendered ASPs. Design/methodology/approach To investigate to what extent parties support gendered ASPs, the article relies…
Investigating the radical right's family policy agenda: Evidence from six European countries
The positions of the radical right parties (RRPs) concerning the family have generally been examined through a socio-cultural lens, but very little is known about their distributive preferences. Based on the theoretical insights from the literature on varieties of familialism and social investment, the article investigates the RRPs' family policy agenda in terms of preference and support for familialism and de-familialism. Furthermore, cross-coun…
The makers get it all? The coalitional welfare politics of Populist Radical Right Parties in Europe. The case studies of Austria and Italy
The article investigates whether and to what extent the welfare policies of Populist Radical Right Parties (PRRPs) vary in diverse government coalitions. Relying on a multidimensional framework differentiating coalitional politics along the welfare size and deservingness dimension, we conduct a comparative case study analysing welfare reforms of the ‘standard’ centre-right/PRRP government coalition ÖVP-FPÖ in Austria and the ‘new’ populist govern…
The uncertain path towards social investment in post-crisis Italy
Focusing on the welfare reforms promoted by the centre left-led governments (2014–2018) and the short-lived Lega-M5s govern- ment (2018–2019) in three policy areas – the labour market, family, and education policies – the article investigates the politics of social investment (SI) in post-crisis Italy. Relying on a multidimensional theoretical framework for analysing policy reforms, the article shows that SI expansion in Italy remains very uncert…
Between the territory and the legacies: The politicization of active labour market policy in southern Europe
The literature concerning active labour market policy (ALMP) in advanced economies during the post-Fordist Age is very informative. Nevertheless, surprisingly, we know little about ALMP politicization. By focusing on two archetypes of the Mediterranean countries, Italy and Spain, this study argues that the geographical distribution of social stratification affects ALMP politicization at the national level. Analysing the party manifestos of the ma…
What Class, What Vote? Post-Fordist Social Groups, Class Coalitions and the Mainstream Left
This article investigates the electoral behavior of post-Fordist social classes between the beginning of the 2000s and the end of the 2010s in eight Western countries, focusing particularly on the vote for the mainstream Left. More specifically, the work answers three research questions. How has social stratification changed in the countries analyzed? How have the post-Fordist social groups voted in the last two decades, and how has their support…
The family policy positions of conservative parties: A farewell to the male‐breadwinner family model
Since the Golden Age of the Welfare State ended, the male‐breadwinner family model traditionally supported by conservative parties has been put under pressure.Familialismappears to be no longer attractive to a changing, more volatile constituency. By comparing four different European countries – namely, Denmark, Germany, Italy and the United Kingdom – this work investigates the evolution of the conservative parties’ family policy positions in the…
The distributive implications of welfare reform packages. The Italian case during and after the great crisis
The paper analyses the pension reforms implemented during and after the Great Crisis in Italy (2011–2019), and evaluates whether a recalibration of the pension system and, more in general, of the Italian welfare state was involved. More specifically, through a multidimensional theoretical framework, the article assesses the distributive implications of the pension reforms not only within the pension realm but also by considering their interplay w…
