The book provides an up-to-date analytical and empirical treatment
of some important interactions between paid and unpaid labour and
the social economy. The emphasis on the motivations for paid and
unpaid labour, and on how these factors contribute to efficiently
providing social services, gives a clear empirical counterpart to
the concept of social economy. The book begins with a theoretical
perspective on the development and characteristics of paid and
unpaid labour in social services. Several empirical analyses,
largely using novel data sets, are then provided about these
phenomena in Italy, a country which has drawn broad international
attention in this field, as well as in other European countries and
in the US. Topics of particular interest include: preferences
regarding and satisfaction with paid and unpaid labour; ownership
structure and risk; ownership structure, remuneration and
incentives for paid labour; characteristics of volunteer labour and
its relationship with social capital endowment across Italian
regions; and a comparative analysis of labour in the nonprofit
sector across Europe.
