Famille nombreuses et couples sans enfant: les déterminants individuels des comportements reproductifs en Italie
No full textFor the last two decades, Italy has recorded one of the lowest
fertility levels in Europe – if not the lowest – and we know, for
example, that more than one-fifth of Italian women born around
1965 will remain childless. A wide range of general economic,
sociological and cultural reasons have been put forward to
explain this phenomenon.
Looking at the issue from a related, but slightly different
angle, one might also wonder whether the individual fertility
differences observed within the population correspond to
differences in the socioeconomic characteristics of the women or
indeed of the couples concerned. This is the question that
Letizia MENCARINI and Maria Letizia TANTURRI seek to answer here, using data from a survey conducted in five Italian cities and
covering 4,000 women aged 40 to 44. The findings reveal distinct
characteristics by parity concerning the level of education,
number of siblings, circumstances of union formation, religious
observance etc. These are areas where Italy has undergone
radical transformation in recent decades, a fact which takes us
back to the first set of explanations
Una casa per diventare grandi. I giovani italiani, l’autonomia abitativa e il ruolo della famiglia d’origine
No full textIIn Italy and other Southern European countries, housing independence among young people occurs at relatively older ages, closely associated with own family formation, in particular marriage, and often thanks to the economic assistance of parents. Parents' support of adult children's living arrangements plays a multifaceted role in the transition out of the parental home and first housing acquisition. Not only does the inheritance of tenure remain an important factor of social inequalities, but parents also may exert a preferential influence on the decision to leave home. Results from survey data on two cohorts of young Italians (aged 23-27 and 33-37) show that 65% of those who left the parental home have been helped by their parents in the first housing. Most of those who are still living in the parental house expect to be helped when they leave, but the extent of this assistance will be higher if they will marry than if they leave home to cohabit or live on their own. Young people's expectations derive from the parental normative system: mothers of those still living at home with parents confirm that the intention to sup port the process of first housing is more likely if the family has the economic opportunity to do so and especially if leaving home is associated with marriage
Uso del tempo e ruoli di genere. Tra lavoro e famiglia nel ciclo di vita
No full textIl volume presenta una serie di lavori effettuati nell’ambito del protocollo di ricerca Istat - Università di Firenze sul tema “Uso del tempo, ruoli di genere, genitorialità e fecondità”.
Si tratta di studi di approfondimento che analizzano i dati dell’indagine Uso del tempo 2002-2003, focalizzando l’attenzione in particolare sul modo in cui varia l’uso del tempo di uomini e donne nel corso della vita.
Attraverso la lente dell’analisi di genere, si analizzano i costi dei figli per i genitori in termini di tempo, la trasmissione intergenerazionale dei ruoli di genere, l’influenza della divisione dei ruoli sui tempi di vita dentro e fuori la famiglia, sull’offerta di lavoro delle donne e anche sulla loro soddisfazione personale
Uso del tempo tra lavoro e famiglia nel ciclo di vita: le peculiarità dell’Italia
No full textIn questo lavoro analizziamo come gli uomini e le donne italiane utilizzano il loro tempo durante le diverse fasi del ciclo di vita. Lo scopo del nostro studio è quello di evidenziare le differenze di genere nell’uso del tempo dedicato al lavoro retribuito, al lavoro domestico e di cura e al tempo libero, e di studiare con opportuni modelli statistici i fattori determinanti dell’uso del tempo nelle diverse attività, tenendo conto proprio delle varie tipologie di famiglia che caratterizzano il corso di vita
