| Tiivistelmä: | This study investigates the relationship between family demographic and economic characteristics and income inequality. Specifically the survey aims at studying the effect of recent changes in household characteristics on income inequality in Italy. The survey was made using data from the Bank of Italy Survey of Household Income and Wealth. The findings reveal that the equalizing power of Italian families has decreased in decades and the most recent changes in household forms do not have a clear equalizing effect. In addition, it is found that the relevance of income differences between household forms in determining the level of income inequality is about to increase. |
