¿Family background, informal networks and youth labour market entry: evidence from Italy.¿
This project intends to analyse in what extent parental background directly influences offsprings' labour outcomes, in order to measure how the economic access in the labour market is due to mechanisms related to family ties rather than individual merits.
The various approaches exploited to assess the impact of the family background on the children outcomes, such as labour market outcomes, have been several: different datasets are constantly available to researchers and the field of research is in constant evolution.
Furthermore, disparate econometric approaches might be relied upon in testing the impact of the processes of family networking and nepotism aimed at impede the equal opportunity to be employed. Indeed, most of time, we can find research papers which are in stark contrast among them regarding the results they yield.
