The author argues that the persistent and growing inequality in income distribution and relative social immobility of households in Italy depend not only on the specific, dualistic, features of its economy but on its social (particularly family) and welfare arrangements: in terms of the behaviours they encourage within households and by specific household members (along gender and generational lines).
