Накратко на български

Социалната уязвимост и полът се изследват чрез примери като принудителната непълна заетост на жените в шест европейски държави. Това помага да се разбере как видът работа и съставът на домакинството влияят върху икономическата несигурност в Европа.

Social Vulnerability and its Intersections: The role of gender in a comparative perspective

The project VINe aimed at exploring in an intersectional perspective the relationship between social vulnerability and gender in six countries in Europe. The overall objective of VINe was to contribute to the debate on social vulnerability and economic insecurity by investigating in a comparative perspective the gendered composition of vulnerable groups and how the individual risk can contribute to the exposure of household to economic insecurity. The main results of the projects underline three main aspects that have been proved relevant to explain the economic insecurity of European households: the unequal distribution of non-standard work in terms of gender and generations, the territorial fragility associated with social vulnerability and the composition of household in mediating these processes. Results have been exploited mostly in relation to the debate of dualization in Southern European countries. In fact, the empirical evidence underlines the role played by non-standard work in Southern Europe in exposing women and their household to economic insecurity. In particular, the main issue that emerged from the analysis is the growth of involuntary part-time that has been provoked by the financial crisis of 2008/2009 and the unequal distribution of the growth of involuntary non-standard work between Northern and Southern countries. Especially, VINe has demonstrated that in the South of Europe the involuntary part-time of women is not a contingent phenomenon derived from the consequences of the crisis, but a structural consequence of the dualization process occurred in the past thirty years (Maestripieri and Leon, 2019). Furthermore, household composition and welfare regimes matters in explaining the phenomenon of economic insecurity (Maestripieri, 2018). VINe empirical evidence is important for society as it explains one of the ways by which gender inequalities are perpetuated in labour markets. VINe results also demonstrated that this is not only an individual problem of women, but a general problem of society as the involuntary non-standard work of women exposes households to economic insecurity

Цел на проекта

VINE seeks to disentangle the multidimensionality of the risk of social exclusion, focusing on vulnerable populations; specifically, those individuals who are in a fragile condition with regard to integration into the domains of well-being (family, labour market, welfare state). Using EU-SILC microdata, the project analyses the interactions between social vulnerability and different individual characteristics that might magnify it. Secondly, the project intends to study how, and in what ways, these individual characteristics combine to determine economic insecurity at household level. The main contribution of this project is proposing an analysis of how the institutional context as well as individual characteristics affects individual risk of living in vulnerable households, from a comparative and multidimensional perspective. By comparing six European countries, as representatives of different institutional environments, the VINE project aims to deliver a better understanding of the causes and mechanisms that determine both men and women’s exposure to social vulnerability. The innovation herein is the assumption that gender is the main analytical dimension in interactions, when theorised according to the intersectional perspective. With a multi-dimensional explorative analysis, and multinomial logistic regression, the analysis will lead to the development of a synthetic indicator of economic insecurity at the household level, permitting assessment of its interactions with specific individual vulnerability profiles. The final aim is to disentangle factors informing individual’s exposure to different degrees of social vulnerability, analysing their consequences and household’s economic insecurity, and possible influences from the institutional context. Thanks to this project, the ER will fill her gap in quantitative research analysis and she will be able to empower her professional profile compete for tenure-track position in the international academic labour market.
