General well-being is growing in our country: just over half of the 129 indicators (out of 152) for which comparison is possible, in fact, ISTAT indicates, "have improved compared to the previous year, 28.7% are at worse levels and 17.8% is stable." Less positive, however, is the 'performance' on the environmental (particularly climate) and safety fronts (especially for the perception of the risk of crime in the area in which one lives).
We can read this in the Report on Fair and Sustainable Wellbeing (Bes) which was presented today by the Institute of Statistics in Rome, which "offers an in-depth reading of the levels, trends and inequalities of well-being that can be observed in the 12 domains in which articulates the Bes 'framework', i.e. health, education and training, work and life balance, economic well-being, social relations, politics and institutions, safety, subjective well-being, landscape and cultural heritage, environment, innovation, research and creativity and quality of services.
Looking at the territories of the Peninsula, the dossier, "classifying the regions into five classes of relative well-being (low, medium-low, medium, medium-high and high)", highlights how those in the North-East "are characterized by the highest levels of well-being , with over half of the indicators in the two highest classes and no more than a fifth in the two tail classes", while "for the regions of the South the situation is reversed, with over 55% of the indicators in the low and medium-low classes ( approximately 70% in Campania and Sicily)". And we then observe how the indicators relating to the landscape and cultural heritage and to social relations are significantly worsening.
