No full textExploring mobility of Italian Ph.Ds over the last decades
No full textMigration is a permanent phenomenon rooted in history and it involves high-skilled workers (HSWs), high-educated workers (HEWs) and students. Among them, a crucial role is played by PhDs. Both HSWs and HEWs face the risk of not finding a job matching their skills and they can opt to accept a job for which they are overeducated or move to another country or region. The mobility of HSWs can be interpreted as a positive issue that can help to match jobs and skills. However, the emergence of a clear path between areas of countries or regions (e.g., from Southern to Northern Italy) highlights the risks of a drain of human capital from areas with low development to more developed ones. In this paper, we focus on a category of HSWs who have been almost neglected by the literature, PhDs. The aim of this study was to shed light on the mobility pattern of Italian PhDs. This aim was pursued by using microdata from the 2014 ISTAT Survey on the professional conditions of Italian PhDs four and six years after the end of their studies. This work highlights that southern PhDs had a higher probability of moving to another area of the country, while northern PhDs seemed to prefer to move abroad, thus confirming a previous study which identified a similar pattern for graduates. While the northern part of the country compensates for the drain of human capital with the mobility from the other part of Italy, the southern part faces a relevant drain of 'talents'

A large-scale study on the seasonality of marriages (Italy 1810–12)
No full textThis article addresses the topic of marriage seasonality in Italy during the early 19th century. Our goal is to explore the links between the seasonal distribution of weddings and the country’s various territorial contexts. By doing so, we aim to deepen our understanding of how marriage practices intersected with environmental, economic, and religious factors. The data are collected at the municipal level from the Napoleonic Civil Registers in the years 1810–12. The study encompasses over 85,000 marriages across 774 municipalities scattered throughout Italy. The methodology is articulated into three distinct phases. First, we carried out a hierarchical cluster analysis. The second phase involved conducting a Principal Component Analysis (PCA). In the final phase, a multinomial regression model is estimated. Four main seasonality models are identified. The first model, prevalent in North-western Italy, highlights a predominance of weddings in January-February. The second, widespread in the North-East reveals a concentration in the months of February and November. The third model, the most widespread, shows low levels of seasonality. The fourth model, concentrated in mountainous regions, provides for a particular frequency in summer. The distribution of marriages throughout the year is associated with the occupation of the spouses. Even religious prescriptions seem to play a significant role, but economic factors are more influential
