This book examines economic transfers across generations and
genders from a European perspective. It addresses key challenges
that contemporary societies face in regards to ageing, welfare
sustainability, and intergenerational and gender equity. Coverage
also offers important insights into an often invisible side of the
economy, namely the contribution of women who because of the gender
contract largely engage in unpaid work in the household. The book
presents a detailed analysis of resource reallocation across
population members in Italy, which encompasses the age and the
gender perspective, the public and the private sector, and the
market and non-market dimensions of the Italian economy. This
innovative and comprehensive case study presents valuable
information on how intergenerational obligations are split between
the family and the state. The author also explores the possible
economic consequences of future ageing by using demographic
projections and estimated age profiles of production and
consumption. By incorporating services originating from unpaid work
in its analysis, this monograph corrects the traditional
under-evaluation of the ways homemakers contribute to the economy
and offers an important addition to studies on generational
economy, the National Transfer Accounts project in particular. The
methods presented inside, though using data specific to Italy, are
relevant for all European countries and will appeal to readers with
an interest in welfare studies and policies.
