Abstract

Traditional individual employment and unemployment indicators don’t allow to show different degrees of family disadvantage or risk of exclusion from the labour market, which may vary a lot considering the employment status of all household adult members. The presence of unemployed or inactive people and/or precarious jobs within the family can be faced differently if one or more components can still rely on a `guaranteed job´, while conversely redundancy of one of the member can cause more difficulties if others have a precarious job or are unemployed too. Using labour force data the article shows changes in the distribution of work in Italy at households level.
