The article describes the main findings of a qualitative research focused on women at the same time wives and mothers in one income families, living in Turin. The analysis is centred on their representations and experiences of vulnerability and explores their feelings of uncertainty. Unexpectedly, these women do not seem to feel exposed to new impoverishment risks, neither perceive one greater insecurity regarding the future. They define their situation as economic deprivation and represent their existence in terms of hard work and sacrifices, but they do not touch the social and economic transformations responsibles of the greater precariety of their families. The uncertainty they live is related to the possibility or less to satisfy the requirements of the familiar reproduction: it is therefore daily and ordinary.

Abstract

The article describes the main findings of a qualitative research focused on women at the same time wives and mothers in one income families, living in Turin. The analysis is centred on their representations and experiences of vulnerability and explores their feelings of uncertainty. Unexpectedly, these women do not seem to feel exposed to new impoverishment risks, neither perceive one greater insecurity regarding the future. They define their situation as economic deprivation and represent their existence in terms of hard work and sacrifices, but they do not touch the social and economic transformations responsibles of the greater precariety of their families. The uncertainty they live is related to the possibility or less to satisfy the requirements of the familiar reproduction: it is therefore daily and ordinary.
