Sopravvivere in condizioni di incertezza cronica a Napoli

Surviving under chronic uncertainty in Naples
This article seeks to analyse the strategies that Neapolitan families adopt when faced with poverty, using the results of a research project involving a sample of 345 poor households in Naples that comprise at least two cohabiting family groups. The Neapolitan case is explored in relation to the more general processes involving increasing levels of uncertainty and precarious work that characterise the current transition from the Fordist organisation of production and society to new forms of social reproduction.
