“…The resulting organizational disorder that creates 'eternal' workdays (Simmel 1998, Paugam 2007) is likely to create the impression that Mediterranean countries enter into a cycle of 'overloading' to compensate for the waste of less productive work time when confronted with the pressures of global competition and economic recession. A phenomenon that places a very high responsibility on families (and, especially, on adult women) in terms of social welfare as outlined in the Mediterranean organizational model of family care (Pfirsch 2013). In this sense, the forms of governance of the Mediterranean countries, with manifestations close to "neopatrimonialism", have reduced the potential for development of the Welfare State and, therefore, for properly developing their organization of work (Bechle 2010).…”

The Mediterranean Variety of Capitalism, Flexibility of Work Schedules, and Labour Productivity in Southern Europe

Sociology has long been used to highlight the existence of diverse institutional models between geographical areas of Europe in terms of work organisation. Based on this, we propose to compare the situation of four representative countries of southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece and Portugal) with that of the rest of Europe, by addressing the number of hours worked and the flexibility of working hours as key elements of their institutional model of work organisation, as well as their impact on levels of labour productivity. Taking the model of the varieties of capitalism as a reference, this study compares the behaviour of the Mediterranean (southern) countries with other European regions. Indicators have been obtained from the 2010 and 2015 waves of the European Work Conditions Survey (EWCS) that include the number of hours worked, the flexibility in the hours of entry and exit, and the tendency to work the same number of hours per day. After comparing averages in both waves and applying linear regressions, the following conclusions have been reached: (1) Productivity in southern countries is on a par with the European average but far from the more corporatist and liberal (northern) areas; (2) the South maintains a high average of hours worked (above the European average) to compensate for the poor productivity of its hours; and (3) the incorporation of flexible schedules is associated with elevated levels of productivity.

“…La variación espacial de los sistemas familiares está ligada a la evolución de los contextos históricos, sociales e institucionales en los que se constituyen los hogares, tanto familiares como no familiares (Hollinger y Haller 1990;Skinner 1997;Reher 1998;Das Gupta 1999;Mason y Oppenheim 2001;Therborn 2004). A pesar de que la familia ha tenido siempre una relación cercana con el espacio, los geógrafos han tenido poco interés en su estudio (Pfirsch 2011). Las consideraciones teóricas esbozadas por la sociología de la familia han obstaculizado durante mucho tiempo la incorporación del espacio a los análisis sobre la familia contemporánea.…”

“…El trabajo de Pfirsch (Pfirsch 2011), centrado en la geografía de la familia en el sur de Europa, argumenta que los países mediterráneos conservan unas estructuras de grupos familiares muy particulares en el continente, que destacan tanto desde el punto de vista de la composición de los hogares como de los patrones de formación familiar (peso del matrimonio, retraso en la salida de los adultos jóvenes, baja fecundidad estructural). La familia también se presta, según el autor, a una segunda lectura geográfica, centrada en las relaciones de parentesco y su territorialización a escala local.…”

En este artículo se analiza la distribución geográfica de las estructuras de hogares en Europa, a partir de datos simultáneos y metodológicamente equiparables de 32 países europeos y 1.340 regiones NUTS 3 (Eurostat) correspondientes a la ronda censal de 2010. Con esta información, hemos confeccionado una serie de mapas detallados con la distribución espacial de los tipos de hogares a escala NUTS 3. Para llevar a cabo este trabajo se han empleado técnicas de econometría espacial, análisis de componentes principales y conglomerados. La geografía de los tipos de hogares que emerge tras nuestro análisis constata la existencia de una significativa autocorrelación espacial en todas las formas y estructuras analizadas; es decir, los tipos de hogares no se distribuyen de forma aleatoria en el espacio europeo.

“…Regional studies, on the other hand, deal with a specific region of the Mediterranean. The regions concerned are, for example, the Maghreb (Fargues 1990, Ouadah-Bedidi et al 2012, Sebti et al 2009, the Near East (Courbage 2008, Fargues 1995, the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean (Courbage 1997, 1999, Fargues 2000a), the Balkans (Deslondes 2004, Parant and Penev 2009, Sardon 2004, or the countries of Southern Europe (Avdeev et al 2011, Pfirsch 2011. But ultimately, demographic studies covering the entire Mediterranean region (pan-Mediterranean) are scarce (Attané and Courbage 2001, Carella and Parant 2016, D'Addato 2010, Fargues 2000b, Fargues and Salinari 2011, ITAN 2014a, 2015, Oliveau and Doignon 2014, Troisi and Von Kondratowitz 2013, Wilson 2005, Zagaglia 2013).…”

Demographic Ageing in the Mediterranean: The End of the Spatial Dichotomy Between the Shores?

The Mediterranean is too often presented as a heterogeneous geographical area. Demography has helped to create this narrative of a Mediterranean of contrasts in which the different shores are systematically opposed: a northern shore in decline, with low fertility rates and an ageing population, as opposed to the young and fertile southern and eastern shores, which are experiencing rapid growth. However, this spatial dichotomy is gradually disappearing due to demographic transition: population growth and fertility are in decline, and the disparities between the different areas of the Mediterranean are vanishing. Moreover, demographic transition automatically gives rise to an ageing population. While the varied populations of the Mediterranean are currently differentiated by their levels of ageing, it is inevitable that these levels will converge in the future. This paper studies this future convergence, including the hypothesis that the southern and eastern shores will catch up with the northern shore. It also envisages a potential challenge to the spatial dichotomy of demographic ageing in the Mediterranean. To this end, we will go beyond the national frameworks generally used for studies of the Mediterranean as a whole and examine each Mediterranean country at a sub national level. After creating demographic projections based on 4 prospective scenarios, we will use various methods (cartography, spatial statistics, etc.) to express how the southern regions will catch up, how the space will change, and how the spatial dichotomy of ageing in the Mediterranean will evolve.
