The social stratification of informal caregiving among mature European women. Patterns in caregiving occurrence, intensity and type
In ageing societies, the rising share of older adults places significant care burdens on family members. While much research addresses informal caregiving, the role of social inequality remains insufficiently theorized and empirically unpacked across its multiple dimensions. This article examines how socioeconomic status (SES) shapes exposure to caregiving, as well as the occurrence, intensity, type, and living arrangements of care provided to ol…
Women's Socioeconomic Status and Violence Against Women
This study analyses the relationship between women's socio-economic status and intimate partner violence in Turkey using data from the Turkish National Research on Domestic Violence on 6,488 women. It explores if and how women's educational level and employment status influence the risk of physical, sexual, emotional, and economic violence, testing both the amelioration, which argues that women's empowerment reduces violence, and the backlash hyp…
Health Status of Grandchildren and Grandparental Involvement

Employment Vulnerability and Union Dissolution
Caring in the XXI century
The progression of macro sociodemographic trends has pushed Italy's existing "care equilibrium" to its limits; innovative solutions are needed. Adopting a multidimensional and multidisciplinary approach, focusing on the goal of supporting caregivers' well-being and training, and overcoming policy fragmentation are key to creating an LTC system that is socially and economically sustainable
The effect of grandparental involvement on grandchildren's school grades
As the early years are crucial for individuals' lifelong socioeconomic success, extensive research has examined the impact of non-maternal childcare on children's development. This study aims to enhance the understanding of the relationship between grandparental involvement (defined as grandparent childcare, frequency of contact, and financial support) and grandchildren's school grades, exploring a mechanism of positive selection: children from e…
Comment et avec qui vivent les migrants âgés en Europe
Dans les sociétés occidentales, la part de la population âgée née à l’étranger connaît une augmentation. Malgré cette tendance, les conditions de vie des migrants âgés restent un sujet de recherche rarement abordé. En se fondant sur les données de l’enquête sur la santé, le vieillissement et la retraite en Europe (SHARE) de 2004 à 2017, notre étude propose une analyse comparative entre les configurations familiales des natifs et des non-natifs âg…
Income and educational differences in grandparental childcare
Grandparents are actively involved in grandchildren's lives, but there is little research concerning socio-economic differences in the content of the relationship. This study explores the socio-economic gradient in childcare provided by grandparents, touching on the intensity of care, the activities performed with grandchildren and the motives driving this involvement, by grandparents’ gender. We explore two dimensions of socio-economic status, e…
(Grand)childlessness and depression across men and women’s stages of later life
The literature on how family status and health in later life relate is extensive. Although research has focused on the health effects of grandparenthood and grandparenting, explorations of whether ageing without children can lead to mental health impairments have achieved mixed results. We bridge empirical traditions to investigate the relationship between family status and mental health in Europe by using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing a…
Non-intact Families and Children’s Educational Outcomes
This study explores whether the association between living in a single-parent household and children’s educational outcomes differs by migration background through comparing natives with first- and second-generation migrant pupils from different areas of origin. While there is strong evidence of an educational gap between migrant and native pupils in Western countries—and particularly in Italy—the interaction with family structure has been under-…
Parental education, divorce, and children's educational attainment
Children who experience parental divorce have worse long-term educational attainment than children living in intact families. Less clear is the extent to which heterogeneity in the divorce penalty depends on parentsâ socioeconomic background and contextual
Post-Migration Fertility in Southern Europe
This paper seeks to analyse migrant women’s reproductive behaviour in two countries with the lowest fertility rates, namely, Italy and Spain. We assess differences in migrant fertility patterns according to country of origin by comparing the post-migration motherhood of Moroccan and Romanian women. We have used data from the “2007 National Immigrant Survey” (INE) and the ”2011-2012 Survey on Social Integration and Condition among Foreign Citizens…
Retirement? Other Ways Out of the Labour Market Are Far More Worrying for Health
ObjectiveDespite a growing body of research, the effects of retirement on health are not clear. The study explores the role played by the path out of the labour market (formal retirement vs. unemployment or family reasons), accounting for individual heterogeneity. Methods: Propensity score matching approach is employed on longitudinal data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (2004-2015). Results: While health does not chang…
