“…The distance between the lived experience of poor families and the social workers who are in charge of their wellbeing was brilliantly described by Perrin-Heredia (2013) in her work on the everyday confrontations between poor families in France and the social workers specializing in “social and family economy advisory.” Drawing on an extensive ethnographic study, Perrin-Heredia demonstrated that the economic categories that social workers take for granted are often not applicable to populations whose economies do not share their implicit social norms. Consequently, the enforcement of such categories, supposedly in order to help people, imposes on them the patterns of “normal” (i.e.…”

Lone-mother–headed families are key targets of poverty research and financial coaching training programs worldwide. Yet, despite the centrality of this population in poverty studies, there is little research on how this population construes the meaning of money in developed economies. This article focuses on the social construction of money among low-income lone mothers in Israel—a highly market-oriented, neoliberal economy. Based on a qualitative analysis, the study found five main representations of money: survival money, motherhood money, earned money, coping money, and resistance to dominant views of money. Our findings confirm the notion that money exists outside the sphere of the market and has contextualized meanings reflecting gender as well as cultural and social structures.

“…At a meso level, economic support given by friends and relatives in EU countries characterized between 40% and 90% of the working poor (Perrin-Heredia, 2013b;Lazarus, 2016). The young participants confirmed this with respect to parental support (Bertolini et al, 2018b).…”

Italian Youth in International Context

In Italy, young people often have to deal with both employment and income discontinuity. This co-existence is characteristic of Italy more than any other European country because it encompasses the employment experiences of young workers with a variety of skill levels, including those with higher qualifications, and it lasts over time. In other European countries, young people can rely on public support during unemployment even if they have had precarious jobs (e.g. Germany or Sweden). This condition represents an area of social risk that has not been fully conceptualized as such, and which we posit as the object of this chapter. In particular, the chapter aims to analyse some of the coping strategies that young Italians use to deal with income discontinuity, given the framework of opportunities and constraints that informs their actions.Young people's coping strategies, relative to representations, meanings and feelings were investigated through semi-structured interviews on two different samples of 100 young people in total, drawing from the projects 'Online training for the development of women's managerial skills. Women Online' and 'Except -Social Exclusion of Youth in Europe: Cumulative Disadvantage, Coping Strategies, Effective Policies and Transfer'. 1 A qualitative analysis allows for a more in-depth study of the different nuances of the problem. The study was concerned with both self-employed workers and workers with atypical contracts, as well as those with problems of precariousness and low labour-market attachment, and with different levels of education. What they had in common is that they were all lacking a so-called typical contract, in the sense of being permanent, dependent and full-time, and the workers being young (18-30 years). Being atypical on the Italian labour market and young at the same time are two conditions that in Italy, as in other European countries, are strongly linked. Comparative research (Mills and Blossfeld, 2003;Blossfeld et al., 2011a) has shown that young Europeans are increasingly subject to forms of temporary employment. They are at higher risk of unemployment and take longer to reach stable and continuous working conditions. This has led to the postponement of important decisions in their private lives and in the transition to adulthood.

“…À titre d'exemple, dans l'étude de Pinto (2013) sur le PBF, des bénéficiaires se plaignaient d'être obligées de donner des explications constantes sur des absences éventuelles de leurs enfants à l'école, ou de devoir montrer leurs armoires d'aliments et d'être réprimées si les assistantes sociales y trouvaient des aliments qu'elles pensent n'être pas bons pour la santé des enfants (comme des biscuits sucrés). Ce contrôle de la consommation des classes défavorisées a été l'objet de diverses études montrant comment le travail social devient un outil d'imposition d'une hiérarchie morale des dépenses des familles pauvres (Eiró 2017;Perrin-Heredia 2013).…”
