Gli effetti delle strategie europee sulla partecipazione femminile al lavoro e la fecondità in Italia
No full textFisco ed occupazione femminile in Italia
No full textFemale participation in the labour force in Italy remains a clue issue for development
and equity. In a wider economic context of a generalized crisis, stimulate women’s
employment contributes to a greater financial solidity of families and make women capable
of dealing with both economic difficulties and marital dissolution. Moreover, an increase of
female employment rates in Italy could support the pension system, challenged by an aging
population.
A boost to women's employment could be given by knowledge-based policies guiding
public expenditure and fiscal systems. The structure of the current Italian tax system, which
supports low income families, may even discourage women's employment.
This article explores the relationship between women's employment and taxation in
Italy by simulating, in a real setting, the opportunity-cost of female employment
confronting two specific contexts: a single earner family and a two earners family. The
simulations are conducted using the instructions for completing the statements of the
2015 income tax return
Occupazione femminile e fecondità in Italia tra cambiamenti e divergenze regionali
No full textThis paper examines the long-run relationship between fertility and women’s labor
market activities in Italy by analyzing aggregated Total Fertility Rates (TFR) and Female
Employment Rates (FER) during the period 1972-2011. The findings evidence a negative
correlation between TFR and FER up to half of the nineties if country totals are considered,
and up to 2004 if calculated taking into account regional rates. However, by studying
Italian macro-areas the results show a positive relation in the Nord since 1977, and a
negative one for the Center and the South
Occupazione femminile: l'Olanda un esempio virtuoso per l'Italia?
No full textWomen's employment rates in Italy are still below the quantitative parameters set by the Lisbon Council in 2000: an average employment rate higher than 60% to be achieved by 2010. The reasons for this delay are manifold, specially important is the difficulty of reconciling work and family life. Recently, the General Director of the International Monetary Fund pointed out Netherlands as a model country for Italy on the subject of women's employment. Thus, the main purpose of this article is to analyze and compare women’s employment in both Italy and Netherlands, focusing on the evolution of employment rates, the role of part-time jobs as an alternative for reconciling work and family and the availability child-care centers as a support to employment continuit
L'évolution du travail des femmes en Italie : les inegalités entre les sexes et les difficultés de conciliation
Full text linkCet article étudie les déterminants de l’emploi des femmes en Italie au cours des vingt dernières années. Le but
de cet article est celui d’examiner les facteurs qui ont influencé l’occupation des femmes sur le marché du travail
en Italie en utilisant les données des recensements de la population de 1991 et 2001 et les données de l’It -SILC
2011, faites par l’ISTAT.
En analysant les micro-données pour les trois périodes considérées on note comment les profils des femmes
employées se sont modifiés soit au cours dans le temps par rapport aux non-occupées surtout pour ce qui est de
l’âge, l’éducation, le nombre d’enfants et leur situation géographique.
La répartition géographique reste l’un des indicateurs les plus importants là où les femmes du Nord continuent
à avoir une probabilité significativement plus élevée d’être employée que dans le Centre et le Sud. Les résultats
montrent que les femmes du Sud, qui sont face à un marché du travail plus difficile et un système de service quasi
inexistants pour les enfants, se trouvent plus en difficulté
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
