There is fear in the portrait of Italians that the census in his 56th report which photographs a country “entered the cycle of post-populism”. According to the report on the social situation of Italy Italians are melancholy and frightened by global events. There is fear of a third world war, but there is also less willingness to follow influencers and outrage over economic inequalities.
The Report reveals that in 2021 families living in conditions of poverty absolute they are more than 1.9 million, 7.5% of the total. There are 5.6 absolute poor, one million more than in 2019. 44.1% live in the South. 6.5% of families pay their bills late.
Among the great fears there is inflation which leads to the increase in prices. 92.7% of Italians are convinced that the rise in prices will last for a long time, almost 70% actually think that their standard of living will worsen. Then there is a frightening global picture. In addition to inflation: the Covid, the war in Ukraine, the energy crisis. More than half of Italians then fear being victims of crimes even if in the last decade the number of reports has decreased by 25.4%. However, they have increased: sexual violence, extortion and computer crimes.
The great social differences make Italians angry: the gap between the salaries of managers and those of employees, the millionaire severance pay and in general all the excesses starting from luxury cars to get to private jets. 81.5% do not tolerate earnings from influencers which he considers unmotivated for “people without certain skills”.
According to the report, there is a temptation to passivity among Italians: “let me live in peace within my current subjective boundaries”. This trend is also told by the low turnout at the polls and also by the low desire to make sacrifices to change: 83.2% no longer want to sacrifice themselves to follow influencers, 81.5% to dress in fashion, 70. 5% to buy prestigious products, and around 60% are the percentage of those who don’t yearn to feel younger or more attractive. Nor are they interested in having a career or earning more money: 36.4% of Italians are not interested in making sacrifices for this.
Italy is then a country more and more old: the over 65s are 23.8%, +60% compared to thirty years ago, and in twenty years they will be 33.7%. In 2032 there could be almost 900,000 fewer children between the ages of 6 and 13 than today. THE NEETwho neither study nor work, are more than in any other part of Europe: 23.1% of 15-29 year olds, which rises to 32.2% in the South.
