In recent years, Internet has been increasingly used as a data collection method, both for economic reasons and for the timeliness with which the collected data are available. To the best of our knowledge, however, there are no many studies on the use of web for collecting information on household income and wealth. This work contributes to fill this gap by illustrating the results of an experimental survey conducted in 2016 by the Banca d'Italia in collaboration with Istat (Italian National Institute of Statistical). Data quality is assessed through the use of fiscal administrative data and the comparison with a parallel survey conducted through personal interviews. Our results suggest that the web can represent a valid alternative for qualitative questions and to gather information on less sensitive sources of income (such as those for employees and retirees). To reduce the bias associated with the use of this instrument, it is essential to have auxiliary information on the whole selected sample.

In this paper we focus on the employment patterns of Italian mothers around the time of childbirth. Our hypothesis is that the difficulties involved in reconciling work and family when there are children are among the leading causes of the low female employment rate in Italy. Data from the 2002 Italian Birth Sample Survey show that about 20 per cent of mothers who were working before childbirth, stop working one and a half years after delivery and that about 14 per cent voluntarily decide to resign. The paper analyses the factors that most influence new mothers' unemployment risk after childbirth.
