Abstract

L’articolo propone uno studio sulla disuguaglianza di genere nell’essere working poor, in particolare considerando le caratteristiche macro dell’occupazione connesse alla posizione sfavorita delle donne. In Europa, le donne sono in media meno occupate degli uomini e, se attive, sono con maggior probabilità impiegate con contratti a tempo determinato e parziale, svolgono mansioni meno qualificate, e ricevono (a parità di caratteristiche osservabili) salari inferiori. L’analisi comparata in 31 paesi Europei approfondisce la relazione tra della diffusione del lavoro a tempo determinato, a tempo parziale e basso salario, nonché dei i servizi per l’infanzia (volti espressamente a promuovere l’occupazione delle donne), e le differenze di genere nella probabilità di essere working poor. In tutti i paesi Europei, le donne hanno una probabilità più alta rispetto agli uomini di essere lavoratrici povere. Tra i fattori di svantaggio il più rilevante è il differenziale salariale. Inoltre, a parità di diffusione dei servizi per l’infanzia, la partecipazione femminile aumenta lo svantaggio relativo per le donne nella probabilità di essere working poor.
