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’

Soddisfazione lavorativa ed equilibrio casa-lavoro: un’analisi di genere
No full textJob satisfaction is an attitude related not only to work but also to extra-work experiences, because it affects household arrangements and fertility behaviour. In a context like Italy, characterized by the male breadwinner model, men and women are expected to attach different relevance to the domains of work and family; thus, it is interesting to see how gender moderate the association between job quality and job satisfaction. In other words, if male and female workers look for different things in work, their way of living their job could be different. This work inquires if the association between job quality and job satisfaction has the same magnitude and direction for men and women, and if not, in what the gender pattern diverges. In order to link the domains of work and family, the study is focused on the time dimension of job satisfaction: indeed, this dimension is the most influent for the chance of dealing with the .double role. (paid work and duties of care), and so the most suited to explore the differences between men and women. The results underline that with low duties of care (without a young child in the household) women are more satisfied than men in good jobs, while with high duties of care (with a young child in the household) women are more satisfied than men also in jobs of medium quality. Women with high duties of care especially appreciate technical professions, such as secretary, teacher, nurse, characterized by fixed schedule and clear contents; such features connote jobs as family-friendly, allowing mothers to handle working-life balance smoothly. Besides this difference, the general pattern of response to parenthood is similar between men and women: On a demand side, this may be explained with the fact that the Italian labour market is not well suited for mothers who want to remain in the paid work, and, on a supply side, with the alignment of parenthood practices between mothers and fathers
In ricordo di Giorgio Piccitto, lessicografo, linguista e padre della dialettologia siciliana
No full textThis article aims at highlighting and revealing the importance of Giorgio Piccitto, a scholar, linguist and pupil from Scuola Normale Superiore in Pisa, who died prematurely more than 50 years ago. As the father of modern dialectology in Sicily and author of the five-volume dictionary titled Vocabolario siciliano, he is still considered as the major reference for Sicilian studies

Ethnic penalty and occupational mobility in the Italian labour market
No full textThe article examines the occupational mobility of immigrants in Italy in a double perspective. First, this work compares immigrants and natives in order to understand whether, and to what extent, in a country characterized overall by low social mobility, natives and migrants have the same chances for improving their social position, or the latter are disadvantaged on an ethnic basis that affects their career (research question 1). Then, the article investigates what are the factors (referring to immigrants' human capital, socio-cultural assimilation process and ethnic network) fostering occupational mobility among immigrants (research question 2). We conduct an ordinary least squares analysis on microdata from two retrospective cross-sectional surveys, for natives and migrants, with the same sample design, questionnaire structure and variable classification, thereby allowing the comparison of results. The empirical findings confirm that intra-generational occupational mobility in Italy is overall very limited but that geographical origin is a significant factor influencing upward mobility. Thus, the existence of an ethnic penalty is confirmed. Furthermore, among migrants, high human capital improves (short-range) upward mobility, while the socio-cultural assimilation process only partly leads to economic assimilation. Conversely, the recourse to the ethnic network acts as a trap in low-qualified occupational careers, hindering an improvement of socio-economic position
The Polarization Myth: Occupational Upgrading in Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the UK, 1992–2015
No full textThe consensus view in economics is that labor markets are polarizing as job creation takes place in high-skilled and low-skilled occupations, while jobs shrink in midskilled ones. The authors argue that, in theoretical terms, polarization runs counter to all the trends that shaped the job structure over the past decades: skill-biased technological change, the international division of labor, and educational expansion. The authors then show that the polarization thesis does not hold empirically. They use the European Labor Force Survey to analyze occupational change for Germany, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom from 1992 to 2015 and define good and bad occupations with four alternative indicators of job quality: earnings, education, prestige, and job satisfaction. Job growth was by far strongest in occupations with high job quality and weakest in occupations with low job quality, regardless of the indicator used. The authors find clear-cut occupational upgrading for Germany, Spain, and Sweden. In the United Kingdom, the data support the polarization thesis when job quality is measured with earnings. If job quality is defined with education, prestige, or job satisfaction, the results show occupational upgrading. In all four countries, production workers and office clerks lost ground, whereas employment strongly expanded in the salaried (upper) middle class among managers and professionals

Stratificazione sociale degli immigrati in Italia: riproduzione di classe e mobilità sociale dall’origine alla destinazione
No full textIn this work we aim at studying the social stratification of foreign workers
in Italy adopting a class-based approach: this perspective allows us to shed light on
the transmission of inequality and social mobility (both inter- and intra-generational)
from country of origin to destination. We formulate the hypotheses that a low social
origin and class position in home country is associated both with poor occupational
achievement (Hyp 1) and with scarce chances of upward social mobility (Hyp 2) in
the host country. Our results underline a clear class reproduction in the lowest strata
of the occupational structure. Furthermore, occupational mobility to upper class (but
not to petty bourgeoisie) is easier for who already has a high social position, while
who lies at the bottom of the social structure is prevented from improving his\her
position also in the host country
