Family policies may have diversified and changing goals, among which contrasting inequalities– either vertical or horizontal or both – may be one, but not the main one. InItaly, family policies are a comparatively small part of social policies; their goals are mixedand sometimes missed by the actual policies set in place, which risk increasing, ratherthan contrasting inequalities. Thus, the design of child-linked direct and indirect incometransfers excludes some of the poor while, in the case of the former disincentiving paidwork by low income mothers. Some of the self-employed and precarious workers cannotreceive the maternity indemnity and the low parental leave benefit discourages both fathersand low income working mothers from taking it. Childcare services for the under threeare scarce and unevenly distributed across the regions, re-enforcing inequalities acrosssocial classes as well as across regions. Similar effects may be found also in the area oflong-term care. The conclusion discusses possible directions of reform.
