Labour Market Divides in Italy: Unpacking Gender and Regional Disparities in Participation and Unemployment

Labour Market Divides in Italy: Unpacking Gender and Regional Disparities in Participation and Unemployment

This research project investigates the structural divides in the Italian labour market, focusing on gender and regional disparities in labour force participation and unemployment. Its primary aim is to assess the validity of the unemployment invariance hypothesis – which posits that unemployment does not affect participation in the long run – within the Italian context, where persistent territorial and gender-based inequalities challenge this assumption.

Risk factors for marriage dissolution: analysis of critical events in a couple life

Over the last twenty years, the intimate sphere and the conjugal behaviour of Italians is radically changed. Undoubtedly, the increase of number both of legal separations and divorces, as well as defining the presence of a new and emerging phenomenon in our national context (precisely, the conflict within the couple and the resulting conjugal instability), can be seen as an indicator of this change.
