Investigating LGBTQI+ Inequalities in working conditions
No full textThe main focus of this paper is to analyse the impact of employment discrimination by sexual orientation on quality of work dimensions in EU countries. The literature on discrimination in the labour market by sexual orientation shows the existence of wage gap as well as barriers to the access. However, a first challenge that scholars face in analysing the impact of discrimination is to have access to primary data sources that could allow to observe gender identity and sexual orientation variables that allows also to disentangle amongst different groups of the LGBTQI+ population. Secondary data sources providing detailed information about working conditions do not record sexual orientation and gender identity and then use data on same sex couples or use perceived discrimination for sexual orientation to indentify LGBTQI+ employees. The latter method has been followed in this paper using European Working Conditions Survey that allows to identify employees perceving different forms of discrimination and, amongst them by sexual orientation. Perceiving employment discrimination by sexual orientation is found to expose the employee to different costs in terms of working conditions both in terms of wages and in terms of work related stress
Gender auditing dei bilanci e delle politiche pubbliche
Full text linkScopo del presente lavoro è fornire alcuni elementi conoscitivi su una pratica nota come gender auditing dei bilanci pubblici diffusa in diversi paesi (Australia, Sud Africa, Uganda, Regno Unito, Canada) e attualmente in fase di sperimentazione in Italia. Si analizzeranno gli scopi del gender auditing dei bilanci pubblici e i modelli che emergono dalle esperienze dei paesi in cui si sono avute applicazioni del gender auditing. La letteratura e l’esperienza in corso in altri paesi consente un’analisi degli strumenti utilizzabili al fine di condurre il gender auditing e di valutarne le difficoltà e gli effetti

No full textHousehold affiliation among young adult women and men in Italy and Norway: The significance of work, culture, and money
Full text linkItaly and Norway are characterized by different co-residence rates of young adults with youth in Italy being more likely to live in their parents' house much longer than Norwegian youth. This paper aims at analysing the reasons of household's patterns in both countries by looking at cultural, income and employment factors allowing a gender comparisons of the different results. Particular attention is provided to the different effect of youth employment conditions on their living arrangements in the two countries. Multivariate analyses conducted on 2007 (a time where the economic prospects and the labour market situation were relatively un-dramatic in both countries) EU SILC microdata show a higher impact of income and employment condition on the living arrangements of Italian youth with a significant impact of the area where they live and dissimilarities by gender in the presence of different living arrangements and in the impact of the different factors.

Preventing and contrasting gender-based violence and sexual harassment. The role of universities and their equal opportunities bodies
Full text linkThis work deals with the topic of gender-based violence (GBV) and sexual harassment in the academic context, a phenomenon that is sadly widespread but poorly reported, which has increasingly emerged as a result of the international ‘Me Too’ movement, leading to an increase in the number of cases of allegations. Considering Italy’s backwardness in terms of gender equality, it was decided to focus the analysis on the Italian academic context. This work is specifically aimed at examining what the role of universities and their Equality
Opportunity Bodies can be in preventing and combating GBV and sexual harassment. To achieve this objective, a mix-method methodology is used. Firstly, the annual COUNIPAR survey has been involved, allowing us on the one hand to collect descriptive statistics on the functioning of the ‘Comitato Unico di Garanzia’ (CUG, i.e., Equal Opportunity Body) and on the general gender-sensitivity of universities, and on the other hand, through the inclusion of specific questions on policies to prevent and combat GBV and sexual harassment, to have an overview of the policies already implemented by Italian universities. In this phase 36
universities, heterogeneous in terms of geographical area and size, are analysed. In order to further explore the potential of universities in prevention and law enforcement actions, it has been decided to examine the policies planned by Italian universities, as a further step in addition to existing policies. Hence, Italian universities Gender Equality Plans (GEPs) are taken under consideration, as the main tools for planning policies from a gender perspective. A sample of 47 Italian universities, heterogeneous both in terms of geographical area and size, is selected and 295 preventive and counteracting actions are detected by means of the Qualitative Content Analysis (QCA) method. Additional features, such as the allocation of human and financial resources for the planned actions, intersectionality, the involvement of the CUG and the existing network with local institutions, are also took into account in the analysis. As a result, it can be found that the most planned actions by GEPs of Italian universities concern the preventive aspects rather than the countering policies, as awareness-raising policies and training policies accounted together almost the 40% of the total
detected actions. Looking at specific counteracting policies, policies for handling cases of harassment and violence, the adoption of a code of conduct, the figure of the Confidential Counsellor and psychological support services result to be the most planned actions by Italian universities in this regard. There is still considerable ground for development for specific policies such as the Anti-Violence Desk and collaboration with the network of local institutions, as well as with local Anti-Violence Centres, in a perspective of participative
processes, able to act as a bridge between the university and the skills and experiences carried out at local level by all actors involved in gender equality policies
Costi
No full textSpesso, parlando di migrazioni si fa riferimento ai costi che i paesi nei quali i migranti sono diretti sostengono per accogliere i migranti. Ma quali sono i costi della accoglienza? Quali i costi del chiudere l’accesso ai migranti? E quali i costi per chi intraprende il percorso della migrazione sia nel caso sia accolto che sia respinto?
In questo saggio si cerca di rispondere ad alcune di queste domande
