Employment Trajectories in Early Adulthood and Later Fertility
The association between employment and fertility is typically studied using single work episodes and transitions between parities, potentially overlooking the complexity of individual trajectories. In this study we examine whether the type of employment trajectories experienced in early adulthood – especially those related to a greater economic vulnerability – is associated with fertility in Italy. Specifically, we focus on cumulated fertility at…
First Union Formation in Italy
In this paper, we use data from the ‘Families and Social Subjects’ survey conducted by the Italian National Institute of Statistics in 2016 to study the impact of micro- and macro-level economic conditions on first co-residential union formation. We aim to determine if and to what extent the probability of forming the first union is explained by individual labour market positions (e.g. having non-standard employment or not having work), and addit…
Living arrangement and cognitive decline among older people in Europe
Family resources may play an important role in the wellbeing of older people. In this paper, we examine the association between living arrangement and cognitive decline among people over 65 living in different European countries. The underlined hypothesis is that living with others ( i.e. spouse or/and children) vis-à-vis living alone may have a positive role in maintaining cognitive functioning, but also that such beneficial influence varies acc…
Life satisfaction among older people in Italy in a gender approach
Over the last few decades, increasing attention has been paid to the issue of wellbeing among older people, and life satisfaction has been used as an indicator to evaluate older people's life conditions. This paper sheds some light on this topic with reference to Italy, a country characterised by an increasing ageing population. The aim is to examine life satisfaction among people aged 65 and older and its predictors. We adopt a gender approach t…
Non-resident parent-child contact after marital dissolution and parental repartnering
With the diffusion of marital instability, the number of children who spend some of their childhood without one of their parents has become significant, even in Italy. Therefore, given the importance of parent-child interactions for childrenâ s wellbeing, a
Family contexts and adolescents' emotional status
Children's living arrangements have become increasingly diverse and complex in recent decades: a significant proportion of children reside in stepfamilies or in separated one-parent families, even in countries such as Italy, which only recently is undergoing a transition from traditional to less traditional family behaviours. The present study explores whether – given the still relatively traditional family context – adolescents experiencing pare…

The implications of marital instability for a woman's fertility
Using a sample of Italian women interviewed in 2003 in the survey â Family and Social Subject,â this paper investigates two issues: (1) how a womanâ s family life-course (union status and parity/ages of children born in the first marriage) influences the
Economic Consequences of Union Dissolution in Italy
Repartnering after marital dissolution
This paper examines in depth the determinants of repartnering in Italy. With data from a national survey conducted in 2003, the effects of socio-economic, demographic and contextual characteristics on second-union formation among separated women are ex
Leaving home
We use three waves of the European Community Household Panel (ECHP) to analyse the impact of employment, earnings, household income, and welfare on young adults' decision to leave the parental home. In particular we investigate the importance of these income sources in different welfare settings. We use a simultaneous equation approach to control for unobserved heterogeneity and left censoring. We find employment and income to be very important f…
The transition to adulthood in Italy. Evidence from cross-sectional surveys / Le passage à l'âge adulte en Italie
The Transition to adulthood in Italy The authors use cross-sectional data in order to study the transition to adulthood of young Italians, over the 1983-1993 decade. Leaving the parental home is evidently and increasingly postponed. Nevertheless, a slight rise of non-traditional family/residential states may be observed. The aims of this paper are mainly two. Firstly, we would like to describe the condition of young adults, accounting for changes…
