Abstract

Questo lavoro analizza gli effetti dell’ingresso delle donne nel mercato del lavoro e del diffondersi di nuovi tipi familiari sull’andamento delle disuguaglianze e dei rischi di povertà relativa in chiave comparata ed europea. La coppia a doppio reddito costituisce il più importante meccanismo anti-povertà per gli individui, mentre single e genitori soli sono esposti a rischi maggiori. Tuttavia, perché l’incremento delle famiglie a doppio reddito riesca a ridurre i livelli di disuguaglianza e i tassi di povertà relativa aggregati occorre che esso coinvolga soprattutto i gruppi sociali più svantaggiati. La crescente omogamia educativa ed occupazionale e il recente sviluppo di condizioni lavorative fragili e marginalizzanti sembrano invece destinati ad ampliare la polarizzazione dei redditi e dei rischi di povertà.
