Social Capital, Labour Precariousness and the Economic Performance: An Empirical Assessment of the Strength of Weak Ties in ItalyFabio SabatiniSapienza University of Rome - Department of Economics and Law; Euricse January 2006 Abstract: This paper carries out an assessment of the influence that different kinds of social ties exert on labour precariousness, on the state of health of urban environments and on the economic performance in Italy. Overall, the empirical evidence shows that weak ties connecting members of voluntary organizations positively affect the economic performance and the quality of urban ecosystems, differently from strong ties connecting family members and close friends, which, on the other side, are proved to reduce labour precariousness.
