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’
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

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
Childless or childfree? Paths to voluntary childlessness in Italy
No full textThis paper is aimed at obtaining insights into childlessness in Italy. After addressing theoretical issues and presenting the prevalence of childlessness, different paths to childlessness are outlined, using data from an ad-hoc survey carried out in five Italian cities in 2002. Subsequently individual characteristics and reasons associated with childlessness are investigated. As many as a third of the interviewees, who live with a partner and do not suffer from any particular physical impediment, are voluntary childlessness. These women, in contrast to mothers, appear to be less religious and to have less religious partners; they tend to come from smaller families of origin; to have cohabitated at least once in life; to have entered their first union later; to have had, in the initial period of their union, unstable occupations and flexible work schedules, and little leisure time, both for themselves and for their partner. In several other cases, childlessness is the unintended outcome of of delayed decision to have a child or the result of adverse external circumstances, particularly fragility of partnership
Introduzione: Grande Recessione, COVID-19 e dinamiche familiari in Italia
No full textIl contributo esamina il contesto demografico ed economico dell'Italia allo scopo di inquadrare più chiaramente le implicazioni che hanno avuto sulle dinamiche familiari la Grande Recessione e la successiva pandemia di Covid-19, poi approfondite nei diversi capitoli del volume. In particolare, il testo tratta di: come la Grande Recessione e la pandemia di Covid-19 sono state uno shock per le famiglie italiane; quali caratteristiche presenta la transizione allo stato adulto dei giovani italiani con particolare attenzione alla formazione della coppia; quali sono le dinamiche della fecondità degli ultimi decenni; quali sono le dinamiche familiari degli stranieri

Processing Nature, beyond the antinomy of ecological pretence in contemporary planning. A critical understanding
No full textIn the still dominant perception of a hierarchical order of nature, humans are disturbing ecosystems factors. We should move away from the one-dimensional dichotomy between natural and human interaction towards a more effective representation without nostalgia. The contact between human and natural habitats is close to the idea of maintaining and conserving a certain state of equilibrium, instead of letting natural habitats evolve into new ecosystems. In other words, energy management and the capacity of a system to self-organize (autopoiesis) defines the difference between human and natural habitats. Where this capacity is not limited, a natural habitat is present. Contemporary landscapes (tourist coasts, reclaimed land, etc.) demonstrate this thesis by highlighting how human intervention is an indispensable factor in their maintenance. It is necessary to provide precise and sophisticated tools capable of synthesizing agents and forces within territorial transformations starting from a global understanding of natural processes. Ecological dynamics must be transformed into project parameters involved within design process. Here a further degree of integration is suggested above the level of simple natural ecosystems, where human is assumed as a key factor in landscape transformation and geography construction. Considering other paradigms that interfere with the same epistemological area, the contribution questions the theoretical and practical implications of rethinking the interaction between natural and artificial ecosystems within landscape design. This perspective allows a territorial update by increasing the level of compatibility between the evolution of human habitat and the maintenance of natural regeneration times. This articulation, however, requires a reconsideration of landscape aesthetics beyond the beautiful and the consolatory, as well as a fundamental shift in landscape thinking from representation to action
