Abstract
Glassmann U. Social rights, family networks and regional varieties of capitalism in Mediterranean countries, Regional Studies. Mediterranean economies are characterized by a strong territorial divide. In some regions governmental modernization strategies led to the predominance of a ‘family welfare model’ that guaranteed generous welfare entitlements on the basis of labour contracts by large firms or the civil service. In other regions a ‘family business model’ prevails, which has evolved due to the decision of the male breadwinner to sacrifice social rights for less protected (small firm) employment opportunities. This choice leads family members to strive for higher educational attainment and formal labour participation causing better economic performance compared with regions where the ‘family welfare model’ persists.
