Reforming Italy’s long-term care system
Background: In Italy, population ageing is causing an unprecedented demand for long-term care (LTC) services, that led to the recent national reform of the LTC system (Law n. 33/2023). Since LTC services are provided by regional authorities, identifying drivers of and barriers to their use by older people and their family caregivers locally is very important to identify the mismatch between national regulation and local demand of these services. …
Implementation arrangements and policy success in active social policies
Implementation arrangements are increasingly recognized as a decisive factor in the success of contemporary welfare policies, particularly those that combine income support with activation requirements. This paper examines the Italian case of minimum income schemes - the Reddito di Inclusione and the Reddito di Cittadinanza - to explore how local implementation arrangements shape one of their core objectives: reintegrating beneficiaries into the …
Caregiving burden, social support, and psychological well-being among family caregivers of older Italians
Objectives This study aimed to identify factors affecting the psychological well-being of family caregivers of dependent older adults in Italy. Understanding these variables is essential for designing interventions to prevent negative outcomes in at-risk caregivers. The research explored how varying levels of caregiving burden and types of perceived social support influence psychological well-being. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted a…
Does the unemployment trap still exist? The case of the Italian minimum income scheme
The question of whether welfare benefits imprison recipients in unemployment traps has been at the centre of academic and political debates in recent decades. Empirical evidence at the micro level supports the existence of work disincentive effects of welfare benefits, although of a small magnitude. However, the question of whether this translates into lower aggregate employment remains unsettled. This study innovates the existing literature by p…
I Would Like to but I Cannot
Over the last two decades, involuntary part-time (IPT) employment has become a more and more pressing issue in Europe, especially in the southern countries, where IPT today constitutes most part-time employment. Using INAPP-PLUS data and different discrete choice model estimations, this paper aims to shed light on the factors that explain the IPT growth in Italy, focusing on what influences the IPT status at the individual, household and labour m…
Contemporary European Welfare State Transformations and the Risk of Erosion of Social Rights
Over the last decades, there has been a huge debate on the transformations of the European Welfare State. The issue of its financial sustainability together with the emergence of new social risks has put under pressure the traditional model of social protection and created the conditions for a change in the gist of the welfare state provisions. In this context, the social investment approach has become an emerging reference paradigm to tackle new…
