Does Economic Vulnerability Affect Social Cohesion? Evidence from a Comparative Analysis
No full textThis article explores the relationship between social cohesion and social inequalities in Europe. The analysis is built around two main research
questions: Does economic vulnerability exert an impact on the level of social cohesion? Does social class mediate between economic vulnerability and social cohesion? The comparative analysis is based on the welfare regimes perspective. In my opinion, welfare state is relevant because it influences not only the relationship between social class and economic vulnerability, but also the link between social cohesion and economic vulnerability. The empirical analysis, based on data from the “European Quality of Life Survey” collected by the European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions in 2003, shows that economic vulnerability does influence social cohesion and that social class and welfare regime are partially able to attenuate this effect

Social Cohesion in Europe. How do the different dimensions of inequality affect social cohesion?
No full text This article examines the relationships between social cohesion and social inequalities in Europe by considering three interrelated issues. The first regards the definition and measurement of the concept of social cohesion. The second issue concerns the identification of the aspects of social inequality that affect the overall level of social cohesion. More precisely, I investigate two main hypotheses: the first argues the existence of a direct negative association between economic inequality and social cohesion. The second states that this relation is influenced by other aspects of social inequality such as the individuals’ position in the stratification system and the educational level. The third issue introduces the comparative analysis that has been based on the welfare regime approach. More specifically, I hypothesize that welfare state is relevant because it influences both the relationship between social position and economic inequality, and the relationship between social cohesion and economic inequality. Data from the first round of the 2002 European Social Survey have been analysed applying structural equation models in order to measure social cohesion and to estimate the effects, both direct and indirect, exerted by the different dimensions of inequalities on social cohesion. Moreover, through a multi-group analysis, I investigate the effects resulting from the different welfare regimes. It emerges that social position and welfare state are not able to fully mediate the effect played by economic condition. </jats:p
