Classe sociale e fecondità: conta più la classe “di lei” o “di lui”?
No full textLa decisione di avere un figlio è stata spesso studiata in relazione
alla condizione socio-economica della coppia, in termini specialmente di istruzione e ricchezza. Poco considerato è invece il ruolo della
classe sociale individuale dei due membri della coppia. Marco Albertini,
Teodora Maksimovic, Letizia Mencarini e Giorgio Piccitto, per mezzo
di un approccio quantitativo, mostrano che la classe sociale “di lei” è
determinante nella scelta di avere un figlio, e che questa circostanza è più
probabile per le donne in cima alla ‘piramide sociale’
La prospettiva sociologica. La disuguaglianza socio-economica nella domanda di cura
No full textLo scopo di questo capitolo del volume è quello di fornire
una revisione sistematica della letteratura che ha analizzato l’accesso
alle cure di lungo termine in una prospettiva di stratificazione
socio-economica. Nel seguito considereremo tre dimensioni
della stratificazione sociale: il livello di istruzione, il reddito
e la ricchezza
Linked generations: child’s transition into unemployment and parents’ mental well-being
No full textUnemployment 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 psychiatric morbidity, using the General Health Questionnaire score as a proxy. The effects of the length of the unemployment spell and the specific pathway into unemployment are investigated. Eventually, the moderating role of the national level of unemployment is also explored. Data from the British Household Panel Survey and Understanding Society are used. The results of the analyses indicate that child’s transition into unemployment has a small, statistically significant, negative effect on mothers’ mental well-being, whereas the effect on fathers’ distress is negligible. The association between mother’s mental well-being and child’s unemployment does not vary by the duration of the unemployment spell, or by the specific path into unemployment (from employment, studentship, or other inactive status). Differently, the negative effect of child’s unemployment on mother’s well-being is larger at higher levels of unemployment at the country level

Support to the elderly and caring regimes. An analysis of patterns of informal support and their determinants in six European countries
No full textIn this chapter Albertini offers an analysis of patterns of informal and formal care support to the elderly in six European countries: Austria, Denmark, Germany, Italy, Poland and Spain. In particular, using data from the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe, the author shows that the quota of elderly people receiving informal support is far larger than the number of individuals getting formal support. It is also argued that the generosity of LTC policies does not crowd out the family; on the contrary, it crowds in informal support provision and push the family to specialise in less time and skills demanding tasks. Patterns of informal support fit well the care regimes typologies: displaying a north to south gradient in the likelihood of receiving unpaid help, and an opposite gradient in the average amount of support received. Differently, patterns of formal care utilization follow only to some extent the typologies of care regimes proposed in the literature. In particular, the analysis of home care services questions the existence of both a Continental and Mediterranean regime

Disabilità dello sviluppo, educazione e Cooperative Learning. Un approccio interculturale
No full textIl volume vuole essere un tentativo di unire in maniera interattiva tre settori diversi: le neuroscienze e i risultati piu' recenti nel campo della diagnosi e della cura; la pedagogia interculturale come teoria educativa precipua per gestire le diversità in ambito educativo e la metodologia del Cooperative Learning come strada maestra per superare individualismi e promuovere il lavoro in gruppo necessario per costruirsi comunità

No full textTHE SOCIAL STRATIFICATION OF INFORMAL CAREGIVING ARRANGEMENTS IN EUROPE
No full textIn ageing societies, the increasing quota of older and frail individuals creates unprecedented needs for care. As care is often costly and not adequately covered by the welfare state, care responsibilities for older individuals fall on the shoulders of family members. The study of informal care provision is acquiring centrality both in the social sciences and policy discourse, since the care load can bear negative consequences on a range of outcomes, from health (e.g., the “caregiver burden”) to employment. It is important to gain a better understanding of which individuals are the most likely to provide informal caregiving and face its consequences. In the present study, we explore the educational and income differences in the probability of providing informal caregiving to individuals living outside the household in Europe, using the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE, 2004-2020). As a contribution to the field, we aim at uncovering the mechanisms behind the socio-economic gradient in caregiving, such as differences in health and longevity and time constraints (due to employment and other care responsibilities) that are unequally distributed across social layers. Results show that individuals with tertiary education, and at the top of the income distribution, are more likely to provide care, net of several other factors. The study concludes with attempted explanations of the results, related to the fact that lower educated, and lower income individuals, can more often rely on publicly provided services and means-tested benefits
