Article abstractItaly occupies a special place among Western capitalist countries because of avery low rate of women's participation in officially recognized jobs but a highrate of participation of women in marginal, often illegal, jobs. During the 60's,as a result of the social and economic development of the country, the standardof living rose while public services remained insufficent and the cost of livingrose constantly. The condition of women (in the majority of families of themiddle class) became a necessary full time presence in the family to organizefamily resources and consequently a subordination of their presence in thework world to this fundamental necessity. The result was a reduction ofwomen in the work world and a growing privatization of their sphere ofaction. Women excluded themselves and were excluded from every kind ofparticipation in public life. This article advances the hypothesis that the nextphase, beginning in the 70's, will show entirely different types of participationof women in the work world as well as in family life and in the expression oftheir specific interests.
