The fortieth edition of the Annual Report on the Italy’s social situation focuses on providing a detailed analysis of instances of economic recovery, on interpreting the socio-political dynamics that have been prevalent over recent months and on pinpointing the real processes of growth within Italian society. The report includes analyses of the following sectors: training, employment, welfare, health, local areas, networks, private businesses, security, citizenship, innovation, media and institutional communication.

La riflessione del Censis “Un mese di sociale/2015” fa il punto sulle più recenti evoluzioni dell’economia italiana intesa sia come mercato per le multinazionali, sia come territorio di decollo per i tanti italiani che, orgogliosi delle loro specificità, vanno in giro per il mondo a fare impresa. In questa nuova economia apolide si rischia però di lasciare scoperta una porzione di sociale non presidiato e di far prevalere uno statalismo autoreferenziale.

The annual Report on Italy’s social situation by CENSIS Foundation once again interprets and analyses the most significant aspects of Italy’s socio-economic trends. The General Considerations, introducing this year’s Report, confirm the fragility of our socio-cultural structure and the multiplication of small or big fears. In the same breath, the original features of our system of coexistence help us to face the current crisis, meanwhile we catch a glimpse of the signs of a silently starting second metamorphosis.
