The contribution regards an analysis of gender-related role models and their relevance for poverty.
Data were gathered using a semi-structured questionnaire.
Poverty as a function of gender is interpreted in the present case in the light of the interrelation
between economic disadvantages, inherent in the systems of integration, and social exclusion, with
special reference to the family and the labour market. From this point of view, the concept of
dependence represents a strategic concept that may be broken down into the dimensions of:
- economic (income source);
- material (non economic help in the management of the family).
It will be shown how gender models have a statistically significant weight in the distribution of a
greater or lesser degree of dependence. Economic dependence and material dependence may be
related back to two empirical typological indexes, which summarize a set of semantically relevant
indicators. Also an additional index of economic hardship has been constructed, which also
summarizes specific indicators.
In addition to gender profiles, the analysis takes into account specific categories of women,
focusing attention on subjects that are potentially vulnerable to poverty (elderly women, women
with precarious jobs and divorcees) defining their specific profiles.
