Research interests lie in the sociology of work and social stratification, focusing on the processes through which labour-market transformations, demographic dynamics, and institutional and territorial contexts shape inequalities and conditions of well-being.
Particular attention is devoted to the consequences of employment insecurity for family transitions, risks of poverty and deprivation, and economic and subjective well-being, taking into account differences by gender, generation, and life-course stage.
A further area of research concerns the heterogeneity of employment relations, with specific reference to self-employment and hybrid forms of work combining autonomy and dependence. These are examined in relation to job quality and to the challenges they pose for definition, classification, and measurement in official statistics.
More recent research extends the analysis to the spatial dimension, examining the interplay between generational turnover, internal and international migration, and local labour-force dynamics, as well as inequalities in urban liveability.
The empirical research relies predominantly on quantitative, longitudinal, and comparative methods and integrates individual- and territorial-level data.
