Abstract: I dati empirici indicano il persistere della penalizzazione delle donne nel mercato del lavoro remunerato. Indagando le cause e l’esatta distribuzione di questa diseguaglianza, è possibile proporre un nuovo programma, che affianchi al diritto antidiscriminatorio policies in grado di superare il gender pay gap. Dal pensiero della differenza all’analisi intersezionale, questo libro propone una rilettura critica degli strumenti giuridici e delle politiche pubbliche che mirano a promuovere ...; [Read more...]

Abstract: The rich have always fascinated, sometimes in problematic ways. Medieval thinkers feared that the super-rich would act 'as gods among men’; much more recently Thomas Piketty made wealth central to discussions of inequality. In this book, Guido Alfani offers a history of the rich and super-rich in the West, examining who they were, how they accumulated their wealth and what role they played in society. Covering the last thousand years, with frequent incursions into antiquity, and integr ...; [Read more...]

Abstract: Secondo l’ideologia liberista il mercato lasciato a se stesso crea le migliori opportunità e il maggior benessere per tutti. È un’illusione di cui questo libro critica le premesse economiche ed esplora le conseguenze etiche, sociali e politiche.
Il progetto liberista ha cercato e tuttora cerca di realizzare non solo un’economia di mercato, ma una società che, in definitiva, si risolve nel mercato. Dove i rapporti sociali sono irrilevanti se non mediati dal mercato e anche le istituzio ...; [Read more...]

Abstract: The 2020-21 edition also reviews minimum wage systems across the world and identifies the conditions under which minimum wages can reduce inequality. The report presents comprehensive data on levels of minimum wages, their effectiveness, and the number and characteristics of workers paid at or below the minimum. The report highlights how adequate minimum wages, statutory or negotiated, can play a key role in a human-centred recovery from the crisis.
Geneva : International Labour Office, 2018
Abstract: The 2018/19 edition analyses the gender pay gap. The report focuses on two main challenges: how to find the most useful means for measurement, and how to break down the gender pay gap in ways that best inform policy-makers and social partners of the factors that underlie it. The report also includes a review of key policy issues regarding wages and the reduction of gender pay gaps in different national circumstances.
Bologna : Il Mulino, 2018
Abstract: Troppo spesso il problema delle disuguaglianze viene identificato, se non confuso, con l’intervento dello stato per redistribuire in modo equo la ricchezza tramite prelievo fiscale e spesa pubblica. Il volume intende, invece, attirare l’attenzione sull’impatto che evoluzioni recenti nel funzionamento dei mercati, in primo luogo quello del lavoro, hanno avuto sulle disuguaglianze economiche. A partire da una interpretazione dei fatti più rilevanti, si mettono in luce caratteristiche e i ...; [Read more...]
Geneva : International Labour Office, 2016
Abstract: This report analyses the evolution of real wages around the world, giving a unique picture of wage trends globally and by region. It provides data on the links between wages and productivity, labour income shares, wage inequality, minimum wages and gender pay gaps. The 2016/17 edition also examines inequality at the workplace level, providing empirical evidence on the extent to which wage inequality is the result of wage inequality between enterprises as well as wage inequality within ...; [Read more...]
Roma : ISFOL, c2015
Abstract: In this paper, we measure the amount of gender discrimination in the Italian labour market, using the ISFOL PLUS database and covering the period between 2005 and 2010. We adopt a quantile regression decomposition methodology, in order to measure the gender wage gap across the entire distribution of earnings. Moreover, we test the robustness of our estimates by comparing the quantile regression decomposition results when more dependent variables are added to the model. Finally, by comp ...; [Read more...]
Geneva : International Labour Office, 2015
Abstract: The 2014/15 edition examines the link between wages and inequality at the household level. It shows that wages constitute the largest single source of income for households with at least one member of working age in most countries and points to changes in wages and paid employment as key factors underlying recent trends in inequality. The report also considers wage gaps between certain groups, such as those between women and men, migrants and nationals, and workers in the informal and ...; [Read more...]
Bonn : IZA, 2011
Abstract: The main question addressed by this article is whether and how gender inequalities in wages have changed in Italy in the face of the important labour market developments of the last years. Specifically, the paper addresses gender wage inequalities in Italy in the mid-1990s and in the mid-2000s. In this period important labour market developments occurred: institutional changes have loosened the use of flexible and atypical contracts; the female employment rates and educational levels h ...; [Read more...]
