Still Informal? Care Platforms in a Loosely Regulated Context, the Italian Case
Despite the progressive marketisation of domestic and care work, care in the Italian context is still firmly anchored within a familistic welfare model in which families must rely on their own resources against limited services. The limited development of in-kind provision reflects an overload of care functions delegated to cash provision, which, however, do not contribute to the definition of a formalised system of care. About labour regulation,…
Between export-led growth and administrative Keynesianism
Comparative political economy scholarship struggles to categorise Italy’s model of capitalism between a mixed-market economy and a hybrid, stagnant economic system. To enhance our understanding of the Italian political economy, this article employs the analytical framework of growth regimes to study Italy’s regional economic systems. Our analysis indicates that Italy can hardly be defined as a ‘national growth regime’ due to the presence of two d…
Social investment, labour market participation and public debt sustainability
This article explores the role of SI Stock, Flow and Buffer policies by shedding light on their relationships with active labour market participation and public debt sustainability for a panel of 22 European countries from 1997 to 2018. We find SI Stock, Flow and Buffer to be positively correlated with labour market participation and more sustainable public debt. When disaggregating the components of SI, we detect a small degree of heterogeneity,…
‘Intended’ and ‘unintended’ consequences of the privatisation of health and social care systems in Italy in light of the pandemic
This article analyses the long-term effects of privatisation and marketisation on the Italian regional health and social care systems. The research focuses on three Italian regions – Lombardy, Veneto and Lazio – which are representative of three different models of governance in these sectors. We examine the effects of privatisation and marketisation on the health and social care system by discussing how the regional health-care systems have mana…
How Stable is Dualisation? The Case of Labour Market and Antipoverty Policies in Italy
This article analyses the old and new dualisation processes that have emerged in Italy in the last twenty years. By focusing on the dualising outcomes of labour market and antipoverty policies, it addresses the trajectories followed by dualisa-tion and their effects on the divides between insiders and outsiders. Within this framework it is argued that dualisation is not a stable equilibrium, but rather the result of the interconnections between i…
Trajectories of welfare financialisation in Europe. A comparison between France, Italy and the United Kingdom
This article analyses welfare financialisation processes in the United Kingdom, France and Italy, three countries that have been differently subjected to austerity constraints and pressures to expand the range of private resources towards welfare provision. The main contribution of this article is to highlight three distinctive trajectories of welfare financialisation. Two key issues of this emerging debate are mainly examined. First, one delinea…
Family, Market and Voluntary Action in the Regulation of the "Care System"
In this article we focus on elderly care reforms in Italy and Sweden. According to Polanyi's theory, we analyze the process of change of welfare regulation in terms of the relation between public redistribution, familial and societal reciprocity and services provided by the market. The main purpose of the analysis is to outline the processes of convergence and divergence between these two welfare systems that have pursued different paths in their…
