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…
Policies for supporting caregivers of older adults with long-term care needs in EU countries
In the context of population ageing, increasing long-term care needs and constraints on welfare spending, informal caregivers assume a pivotal role as providers of long-term care. This systematic review synthesises reported data on the diverse support policies implemented across the European Union (EU) to assist them. Findings from 35 studies and reports published between 2011 and 2025 suggest that, despite similar demographic challenges, policie…
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…
Digital citizens or digital outcasts? On the evolving relation between social stratification and utilization of e-administration
This study examines how digital inequalities evolve over time by analysing the diffusion of e-administration services in Spain between 2017 and 2023. Bridging technological innovation diffusion frameworks and social stratification approaches, we conceptualise the digital divide as a dynamic process in which the social bases of exclusion shift rather than simply diminish. Using nationally representative data from the ICT Household Survey, we apply…
The relationship between union membership and workers’ well-being
The decreasing trade union membership experienced in most European countries in the past two decades can have negative effects on working conditions. Some of the most important dimensions along which this potential negative effect can be observed are those of workers’ health and subjective well-being. A systematic examination of empirical studies on the association between union membership and individual workers’ health, and life and job satisfac…
Horizontal or Vertical? A Tale of Geographical Proximity in Italian Kinship Networks
The increasing predominance of the “beanpole” family, a structure characterized by multiple ties across generations but fewer within one generation, has led most scholars to focus on parent‐child (and grandparent‐grandchild) relationships, overlooking the relevance of the broader kinship network and its geographical spread. The geographical proximity between kin reveals patterns of potential support networks and is associated with subnational het…
Multicomponent interventions and technologies to reduce the burden of frailty, functional, and cognitive decline
This initiative supports the transition toward more integrated and equitable care models for older adults. Through the implementation of scalable, person-centered interventions within routine services, the project offers policy-relevant strategies to address frailty and functional decline-contributing to the redesign of aging care in Italy and providing insights applicable across diverse health systems facing the challenges of population aging co…
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
Aging well in an aging society
Leveraging Italy's unique demographic profile and internal heterogeneity, Age-It promotes sustainable aging by harnessing the opportunities embedded in demographic change. The program ranges from the biology of aging to mental and physical health prevention, long-term care, labor market dynamics, and social participation-ultimately aiming to reshape how aging is perceived and managed in aging societies
Aging in aging societies
The increase in longevity is not merely stretching life but fundamentally redefining it. Growing old in an aging society becomes both a new individual experience and a collective transformation that challenges the adequacy of traditional life course categories. The Age-It findings call for conceptual renewal to better capture new stages, shifting chronologies, and reconfigured solidarities. Population aging also reshapes the research agenda of ge…
Clinical and environmental factors, functional status, and multimorbidity—stratifying progression and prognosis of multimorbidity, frailty, and disability
Overcoming the traditional medical approach, focused on the diagnosis and treatment of single diseases, Spoke 3 should provide important original evidence to improve the management of older subjects with multimorbidity and frailty
The educational wealth divide in Europe
Integrating research evidence in humanitarian health responses
People living in settings affected by conflicts face insecurity and live in fragmented social systems. Conducting research in these settings is essential, however integrating results into practices is complex. Implementation science tools are not used often in such environments. In this paper we explore how a convenience sample of interviewees experienced implementation in these settings, through the lens of the adapted Extended Normalization Pro…
Her class and his class
This work explores the association between fertility behaviour and occupational social classes, over and above educational and income resources. We use European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) data, pooling the longitudinal component for fourteen countries between 2005 and 2017. We compare the effect of the female partner's social class with that of the male partner on the likelihood of having a child, distinguishing be…
Becoming Sandwiched in Later Life
Results from the between-individuals part of the model indicate that there is a selection into social sandwiching of more healthy individuals into support roles. However, the within-individuals part of the model indicates that the transition into social sandwiching has a detrimental effect on women's (but not men's) psychological health and well-being. The explanations for this gendered effect of social sandwiching may be found in the "invisible"…
Not all wealth is the same
A number of studies suggest that parental wealth has both primary and secondary effects on offspring's educational decisions, net of other measures family's socio-economic status. The article documents that there is a positive association between parental wealth and children's university enrolment in Italy, a country characterized by comparatively low levels of wealth inequality and a low enrolment rate in tertiary education. The positive associa…
Linked generations
Unemployment has a negative effect on the mental well-being of individuals who experience it. The well-being of the partners and children of these individuals is also negatively affected by this transition. Little is known, however, on the effect of the transition into unemployment on the mental well-being of the parents of unemployed people. This article analyses the association between child's transition into unemployment and parents' minor psy…
The Older Sandwich Generation Across European Welfare Regimes
Older parents and filial support obligations
Although older migrants in Southern Europe are increasing in number, relatively little attention has been paid to their care needs and resources. The availability of informal care is an important determinant of wellbeing in later life and norms regulating filial obligations have an important role in affecting the quality and quantity of support received. Using data from a qualitative survey conducted in Italy, this article sheds light on the soci…
I’ve changed my mind. The intentions to be childless, their stability and realisation
Childlessness has been increasing over the last decades in most European societies. Previous studies have mostly focused on the ‘involuntary’ component of childlessness, and factors affecting voluntary childlessness remained poorly understood. This article presents an analysis of the factors associated with the intention to be childless, and the realisation and stability of this intention in the short-term. The theory of planned behaviour is appl…
Social Class, Work-Related Incomes, and Socio-Economic Polarization in Europe, 2005–2014
Sociologists and economists have typically focused on different dimensions of socio-economic inequalities. Sociologists have been mainly concerned with occupational and educational indicators, whereas economists have focused on the earnings, income, and wealth distribution. The article integrates sociological and economics’ approaches to the study of socio-economic inequalities, by providing an analysis of the relationship between social class an…
Caring for elderly parents
The migrant population in Southern European countries is aging. In the next future, long-term care needs of immigrant individuals will be a major issue in the evolution of social policies in these countries. In this context, it becomes important to examine what are the norms of filial obligations that govern the exchange of social support within migrant families. The study focuses on solidarity norms and support expectations among Mahgrebine immi…
Does Children’s Union Dissolution Hurt Elderly Parents? Linked Lives, Divorce and Mental Health in Europe
Previous research has shown that parent's union dissolution has negative consequences for individuals' well-being, parent-child relationships and children's outcomes. However, less attention has been devoted to the effects in the opposite direction, i.e. how children's divorce affects parents' well-being. We adopted a cross-country, longitudinal and multigenerational perspective to analyse whether children's marital break-up is associated with ch…
Intergenerational relations among immigrants in Europe
An understanding of the characteristics of intergenerational relations within immigrant families in Europe and micro-level social processes shaping those relations is essential from both an academic and a policy perspective. Yet there has been little empirical research devoted to testing the theoretical frameworks underlying intergenerational relations and migration studies and comparing ethnically and culturally different immigrant groups across…
Whom to help and why? Family norms on financial support for adult children among immigrants
Financial support for immigrant-origin children is crucial for their integration and success in the host society. Family solidarity norms among minority populations, however, tend to differ from those regulating intergenerational support exchange among natives. Do such differences reflect specific cultural preferences and expectations? Using original data collected via a semistructured questionnaire featuring vignettes, we explore values and norm…
Intergenerational transfers of time and money in European families
The `generational contract' is the most important and also the most contentious dimension of contemporary welfare systems. Much of the debate on how to reform it is still truncated, however, by focusing on its public dimension only, especially on pensions and health-care provisions. For a full account, the transfer of resources between adult generations in the family needs to be included as well. So far, research on family transfers has almost ex…
The Generational Contract in the Family
Recent research has suggested that financial transfers from parents to their adult children in the family are less likely to take place but more intense—i.e. for larger amounts—in the Southern European countries than in the Nordic ones, with the Continental European countries falling in-between the two. What remains to be examined is the variation among regimes in the social mechanisms regulating these transfers. Using data from the first wave of…
Intergenerational transfers and social class
Research on social stratification and the transmission of inequality has largely disregarded the role of inter-vivos transfers to adult children. At the same time, the role of social class has been neglected in the literature on intergenerational transfers. In an attempt to link the two research strands, the article assesses the association between occupational social class and parental transfer behaviour. Estimation results from a tobit censored…

The Effect of Divorce on Parent–child Contacts
Previous studies on divorce have found consistent empirical evidence that a negative association exists between marital disruption and children's wellbeing, life chances and intergenerational relations. However, there are relatively few studies on the long-term effect of divorce on parent–child contacts. Furthermore, contemporary research is confronted with two declining effect hypotheses. Firstly, it has been argued that the negative effects of …
Moving back to “mamma”? Divorce, intergenerational coresidence, and latent family solidarity in Sweden
One of the most obvious consequences of divorce is the moving out of one or both ex‐partners from the formerly common household. Here we focus on a particular postdivorce residential move, the return to the parental home in Sweden, where intergenerational coresidence is uncommon. We ask whether family dissolution increases the likelihood of intergenerational coresidence among separated/divorced individuals who have at least 1 child below age 18. …
Childlessness and Support Networks in Later Life
Childlessness is an increasingly common condition in many European societies. The consequences that this demographic phenomenon might have on welfare systems-and long-term care policies in particular-are widespread. This is particularly the case for the familistic welfare states of Southern Europe. Using data from the 2003 Italian GGS, the article explores the relation between the absence of children and support received in later life. Overall, t…
Effects of Divorce on Children's Educational Attainment in a Mediterranean and Catholic Society
Previous research has found parental divorce to have negative effects on children's educational attainment; in addition, it has been noted that the effects of divorce are not the same in all western societies. However, research on Catholic and southern European countries is missing. The aim of this paper is to add to the research on the relation between parental divorce and the educational attainment of children in catholic and southern European …
Unequal Inequalities
The study shows that care systems based on services provision grant higher access to formal care and create lower inequalities. Moreover, countries where cash-for-care programs and family responsibilities are more important register inequalities in the use of formal care. Access to informal care does not mediate the distribution of formal care
What childless older people give
With the increase of childlessness in European societies, its consequences have become a matter of concern. Studies in this field, however, have concentrated on what childless people lack and need in terms of social, financial and moral support. In contrast, this article focuses on what childless people give to their families, friends, unrelated others and to society at large. Using 2004 data on social support and financial transfers given and re…

Parents’ housing careers and support for adult children across Europe
Housing careers have important consequences for individuals’ well-being. The present study focuses on the role of parents’ housing careers in affecting the way and extent to which they provide economic support to their adult children. By adopting a family life course perspective, it shows that while housing tenure has relatively little effect on parents’ transfer behaviour, mobility between different tenures can elicit or suppress intergeneration…
The relation between social class and economic inequality
A burden to the welfare state? Expectations of non-EU migrants on welfare support
In recent decades European institutions have been promoting the broadening of immigrants’ social rights, while at national levels political battles have been led around the definition of the legitimate community of welfare receivers. Immigrants have been often depicted as undeserving individuals threatening welfare state sustainability, although existing research does not fully support this view. At the same time, political and academic debates o…
Childlessness and intergenerational transfers
In this introductory article for the special issue on Childlessness and Intergenerational Transfers , we first discuss the prior research literature and then overview the presented contributions. Up to now, childless older adults have been treated for the most part as both homogeneous and a problematic group. This does not do justice to the different pathways to childlessness: there are those who actively forgo having children, those who defer bi…
Higher education beliefs and intentions among immigrant-origin students in Italy
The article addresses beliefs about higher education and ensuing intentions among a large sample of upper secondary school leavers in Italy, with a focus on children of immigrants. ‘Foreign’ students currently account for 7% of upper secondary students, and their incidence has been growing over time. Only a minority of non-Italian students continue their studies at the university level versus a majority of Italians. The article investigates the e…

Equalizing or Not? The Effect of Changing Household Characteristics on Income Inequality
Among the various factors which have been explored to explain differences and trends in income inequality, there is one which has received relatively little attention: differences and changes in household characteristics. Using the data from the Bank of Italy Survey of Household Income and Wealth, this article examines the relationship between family demographic and economic characteristics and income inequality. More precisely, it analyses how m…

I giovani raccontano gli anziani. Il contributo del VideoConcorso Francesco Pasinetti alla riflessione su invecchiamento, dialogo intergenerazionale e trasmissione culturale in Italia
Age studies are greatly needed in order to understand not only how intergenerational relations are changing, but also how social images and stereotypes associated with the different age groups are changing. Rita Cavigioli’s book is an interesting contribution to this field of research. The author, analyzing short films from the archive of the VideoConcorso Francesco Pasinetti, provides us with an insightful exploration of Venetian students’ image…

Ageing and Family Solidarity in Europe
At the beginning of the twenty-first century, intergenerational relations remain a key aspect of the future development and sustainability of the European social model. In the present paper, patterns of intergenerational support and the main driving factors behind individuals' transfer behavior are explored. In particular, the data form the Survey of Health, Ageing, and Retirement in Europe are utilized to shed light on the main factors behind th…
La rilevanza del livello municipale delle politiche di conciliazione. Uno studio dell'offerta di servizi pubblici
In recent decades family-work reconciliation policies have been at the core of social-policy \nstudies. Thus far, however, little attention has been paid at the relevance of the local level in \nthe organization, financing and implementation of these policies. This represents a relevant gap \nin the framework of the increasing competition between cities and the growing relevance of the \nplace of residence as a determinant of individuals’ well-be…
