This paper examines the changes of women's contribution within the family in Italy over time. It uses two sources of data, namely ECHP and IT-Silc. The nal goal is to detect whether women become more supportive in the household or not because of a number of factors occurred in the sample period. The contribution of each members within the family is dened as the dierence between the personal and the per-capita income. We rstly perform separate estimates by gender and by sub-groups, namely receivers (if their contribution is negative) and givers (if their contribution is positive). Finally, we run a three- fold Oaxaca decomposition. The results conrm that the dierences between men and women are persistent and mainly due to unexplained factors.
