Data source(s) used: Compensation of employees, wages and salaries and social security contributions:Compensation of employees (D1) is defined as the total remuneration, in cash or in kind, payable by an employer to an employee in return for work done by the latter during the accounting period. Compensation of employees is broken down into: wages and salaries (D11): wages and salaries in cash; wages and salaries in kind; employers’ social contributions (D12): employers’ actual social contributions (D121); employers’ imputed social contributions (D122).Gross value added: Gross value added is the value of output less the value of intermediate consumption; it is a measure of the contribution to the economic growth in terms of new goods and services available for final consumption.Gross value added at basic prices: Gross value added at basic prices is output valued at basic prices less intermediate consumption valued at purchasers’ prices. The basic price is the amount receivable by the producer from the purchaser for a unit of a product or service minus any tax on the product plus any subsidy on the product.

Data source(s) used: Urban environmental data The survey collects environmental informations relating to the capital cities of the 110 Italian provinces. In addition to data collection for the reference year of the survey, the survey also allows the possibility of revising the statistical information collected in relation to previous years, in order to consolidate the time series already available (since 2000). The data collected also contributes to fuel the Environmental Monitoring on the cities, a database designed for the integrated management of statistical information relating to the main environmental issues in urban areas. The issues currently under investigation are: drinking water and water treatment, air quality, use of energy sources, collection and waste management, noise pollution, public transport, urban green, eco-friendly forms of planning, organization and management of local governments. Data and the statistical information derived from the survey, annually disclosed, represent an essential information tool to support the monitoring of the state of the urban environment and the activities undertaken by governments to ensure the good quality of the environment in cities.

Data source(s) used: Migration and calculation of foreign resident population and structure by citizenship : Istat since 2011 has been producing estimates on characteristics (citizenship of origin, gender and age) of the new Italian citizens and on the different ways of access to citizenship (marriage, residence, etc.). The data are also provided to Eurostat for Regulation (EC) 862/2007. The estimates are produced using different data sources. Istat: municipal registry lists Ministry of Interior: datasets on acquisitions of citizenship.

Data source(s) used: INPSObservatory of Policies and Occupational labour For the years 2006 to 2009 the number of workers by place of work, sex and age was obtained by multiplying the regional breakdown resulting from DM10M distribution by sex, age and region of work derived from complaints pay monthly archive Emens, while from 2010 the source was the archive only Emens.

Data source(s) used: Survey on museums and other cultural institutions The Italian National Institute of Statistics conducts a census on Museums and Similar Institutions. The census is promoted by the Economic Development Bureau’s Department of Policies for Development, in collaboration with Cultural Activities and Estate Italian Bureau, Italian Regions and Independent Provinces. Aim of the research is obtaining and releasing data on Museums and similar institutions as picture galleries, archaeological areas, monuments, and other standing structures opened to the public. The National Institute of Statistics gathers the data on non-national museums and similar structures, while data gathering of national museums and similar structures depends on Cultural Activities and Estate Italian Bureau. From 2012 edition, data gathering was carried out using a web questionnaire on the website: http://indata.istat.it. The research’s results are published on the Italian National Institute of Statistics’ website.

Data source(s) used: Labour force survey: from the labour force survey Istat derives its official estimates of the number of employed persons and job-seekers, as well as information about the main labour supply aggregates, such as occupation, economic activity area, hours worked, contract types and duration and training. Istat collects the information each quarter by interviewing a sample of nearly 77,000 households, representing 175,000 individuals who are resident in Italy, even if they are temporarily abroad. Households usually living abroad and permanent members of communities (religious institutes, military barracks, etc.) are not included. The survey has been updated over the years to take into account continual transformations in the labour market on the one hand, and the growing information requirements of users regarding the social and economic reality of our nation, on the other. The most recent change was undertaken at the beginning of in 2004 in line with European Union regulations. The current sample survey is continuous insofar as information is collected during every week of the year and no longer during a single week per quarter. The results are still disseminated on a quarterly basis, except for provincial data which are disseminated annually. A significant feature of the survey is the establishment of new criteria for identifying employed and unemployed individuals,as well as a far-reaching reorganisation of the data collection and production process. To make new estimates comparable with estimates referring to previous years, Istat has reconstructed the time series since the fourth quarter of 1992. Data have been updated since 2nd march 2015 due to the statistical back-recalculation of population time series, based on Census results, disseminated the 14th January 2015. Monthly data were recalculated from January 2004 to December 2014; quarterly data from second quarter 2002 to third quarter 2014; annual data from year 2002 to 2013.

Data source(s) used: The 3rd October 2014 Istat released the new annual series of national accounts based on the new European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). At the same time, as in other European countries, the time series of national accounts have been subjected to an extraordinary revision, exploiting advances in methods and sources (e.g. the new balance of payments estimates issued by the Bank of Italy based on the new manual BPM6).Production and value added for agriculture, fishery and silviculture The agricultural sector uses as calculating method, unlike most other economic sectors, the aggregation estimates on quantities and prices. In this context, agricultural accounts require (at both central framework level and satellite account level), statistical information available at a very disaggregated level. Such information is integrated, during the year with data on sowings, forecasts on production and on harvested production in progress and with the data from the REA (the sample survey on the economic outcomes of agricultural holdings).

Data source(s) used: Survey on rural tourism accommodations Statistical Departments of Regions and Autonomous Provinces, in collaboration with agricultural departments, give data about authorized agritouristic farms. Data come from administrative sources and are concerned with the characteristic of the farms, in particular with the different kinds of authorized agritouristic farms (accommodation, catering, tasting and other activities). Other activities comprise horse-riding, trekking, other courses, etc.

Data source(s) used: Crimes reported to the Judicial authorities by the State Police, Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza: Are processed the data on felonies and people who were reported by police to the court Other data characteristics: Data referring to social demographic characteristics of alleged offenders could not coincide with data on reports because of the different timing of extraction from police forces database.The sum of the crimes by province could not coincide with the total of the region, and that of the regions with the total Italy, because of the missed precise statement, for some crimes, of the place where they have been committed (or of the region of the committed crime but not of the province).

Data source(s) used: Multipurpose survey on households: aspects of daily life - general part: The sample survey "Aspects of daily life" is a part of an integrated system of social surveys - The Multipurpose Surveys on Household - and it collects fundamental information on individual and household daily life. From 1993 to 2003 the survey was conducted annually, with data collected during the month of November. In 2004 the survey did not take place and, starting from 2005, it was run every year in February. The survey provides information on the citizens' habits and the problems they face in every day life. In the questionnaires, the thematic areas are on different social aspects consenting to realize which is the quality of individual life, the degree of satisfaction of their conditions, their economic situation, the area in which they live, the functioning of all public utility services, all topics useful to study the quality of life. School, work, family and social life, spare time, political and social participation, health, life style, access to the services are all investigated from a point of view in which behaviour objectivity, motivations, opinions contribute to define the social information. The survey is included in The National Statistic Programme, which gathers the statistical investigations needed for the Country.

Data source(s) used: Annual register on earnings, working hours and labour cost for persons and enterprises RACLI is the Register with information on employment, wages, labor costs and hours for each employee job (a person might have one or more jobs, with the same or different employer, at the same time or not) and related employer (LEED structure employer-employee Database) in the private non-agricultural sector. It is consistent with the Employment and Business Register (ASIA Occupazione e Imprese) and the Business Local Unit (ASIA UL).From the beginning the production of the RACLI register started separately but in a coordinated way with the employment information system (the so-called DB-Employment) at the single job position level, whose experimentation started during the Census of Industry and Services 2011 thanks to the timely availability of new LEED administrative sources and in particular of the new National Social Security Institution (INPS) declaration, the UniEmens. The main basic statistical input for the production of the RACLI register is the DB-Employment, based on the integration of various administrative sources of the INPS Social Security Institute and not only, among which for the employees a fundamental role is played by the UniEmens archive, in addition to those relating to employees of the entertainment sector (Enpals flowed into the UniEmens since 2015), agriculture (DMAG) and the archieve related to workers with the INPS short-time work benefits.The role of RACLI is mainly to extend, for the employee job sub-population, the information on gross wages, labor costs and hours paid by integrating information from the UniEmens, other than the information related to employment, but also merging other administrative and statistical sources, including data from the 770 / CU tax model and survey data, in particular the four-yearly ‘Structure of Earnings Survey’ (SES), the quarterly survey on ‘Job vacancies and hours worked’ (Vela) and the ‘Monthly survey on employment, working time, earnings and labour cost in large enterprises’ (GI).The main statistical units of the RACLI register is the employee job position defined as the work relationship established between an economic unit and an individual and defined by a starting date.The RACLI register produces annual information on wages and hours paid with a high level of detail with regard to the characteristics of the job position (working time, duration of the contract, contract position, etc.), of the individual (gender, age, country of birth, level of education through the integration with the Population Register) and of the economic unit (economic activity code, size class, local units, etc .. thanks to integration with the ‘Statistical Business Register’ ASIA). The variable total labor cost, at the moment, is produced only at company level, integrating for this purpose also the information from the quarterly survey ‘Employment, earnings and social security contributions’ (OROS) but advanced study are on progress for the estimation of the other labour costs at job level.The first release of RACLI Register was on the 30 December 2016 related to data of the reference year 2014 (Istat, 2016) but it auxiliary information has been widely used since 2012 for a lot of different statistical purposes.

Data source(s) used: Household budget survey: The Household Budget Survey, conducted on a sample of about 24 thousand households, provides information on household expenditures for consumption and it also describes, analyses and explains expenditure behaviours of the households having residence in Italy. In 1997 the survey has been completely renewed. Other data characteristics: On 8 July 2015, estimates on household consumption expenditure based on the new Italian Household Budget Survey have been disseminated. Since the current survey has been completely renewed, these estimates cannot be compared to the ones present in this topic.

Data source(s) used: : INPSInstitute administrative archive

Data source(s) used: INPSArchives of INPS administrative complaints monthly salary (Emens):It provides information on:• beneficiaries receiving the household (ANF) in allowances in favor of employees (excluding agricultural and domestic workers)• Average amounts per employee last monthly check received in the year• Estimated average annual gross income of the household told by the worker and for the last monthly benefit received during the year.

Data source(s) used: Consumer price index for the whole nation: It refers to households consumption within the national territory (both resident and non-resident households) and comprise all purchases of goods and services having an actual market price. It is used to measure inflation in Italy. Other data characteristics: In regard to provincial data, in some months and for some provincial capitals, the index can be not calculated due to the interruption of survey operations or the non abidance of the rules and the quality standards established by IstatSuch situation are marked with flag g

Data source(s) used: Household Budget Survey: The HBS aims to measure and analyze expenditure behaviors of households residing in Italy, according to their main social, economic and territorial characteristics. More, it represents the informative base for i) the quarterly estimate of household final consumption expenditure, ii) the annual weighting of the CPI basket, iii) the official estimates of relative and absolute poverty in Italy, iv) the measure of inflation by household expenditure classes. The main focus of the HBS is represented by all expenditures incurred by resident households to purchase goods and services exclusively devoted to household consumption (self-consumptions, imputed rentals and presents are included): every other expenditure for a different purpose is excluded from the data collection (e. g., payments of fees, business expenditures). The survey, carried out continuously with CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interview) technique, is based on the harmonized international classification of expenditure voices (Classification of Individual COnsumption by Purpose – Coicop). Since 2014, the new HBS has replaced the old HBS (carried out between 1997 and 2013).The present survey design differs deeply from the previous one: in particular, expenditure reference periods have been enlarged and the most updated ECoicop has been adopted. As a consequence, it has been necessary to reconstruct the time series of the main expenditure aggregates since 1997. Time comparisons between 2014 estimates and previously disseminated estimates can be made only using reconstructed data.

Data source(s) used: Crimes reported to the Judicial authorities by the State Police, Carabinieri and Guardia di Finanza:Are processed the data on felonies and people who were reported by police to the court Other data characteristics: The survey concerns the operational activity of the Police Forces and does not follow the subsequent judicial path of the reported facts. The sum of the crimes divided by province may not coincide with the total of the region and that of the regions with the total Italy. This can happen because of a non-univocal location of the crime in a certain detail (municipality, province, region), in which case it is counted in the first territorial area, more aggregated, useful.

Data source(s) used: Estimate of crop, flower and pot plant production and areaStatistics are produced using expert information. Data are provided by local authorities that collect experts evaluations on area and yield of different crops. The auxiliary information could be included in expert's estimate, such as verifying the availability of external sources (eg professional bodies or associations of producers, administrative sources, auxiliary sources of data related to the cultivation being estimated). Crops under investigation are different for each month and take into account the phenological stage of cultivation. For this reason more than one estimate can be determined for each crop during the year (provisional, temporary or permanent).

Data source(s) used: Multipurpose survey on households: time use The Time Use Survey falls within the System of Multipurpose Surveys on households. The main peculiarity of this survey is that by filling in a daily diary it’s possible to learn about the way in which each respondent allocates 24 hours (divided into 10 minute intervals) between the various daily activities, travel, places visited and people with which spends time. This survey is considered strategic for the knowledge of the organization of the lifetimes of the population in terms of gender, as it allows the study of gender roles in society and in the household. For this reason Italian lawmakers even decided to include an article in the Law n. 53 of 2000, which states: “The National Institute of Statistics (Istat) is to ensure, every five year, an informative flow on the population’s organization of the life times by means of the Time Use Survey, desegregating the information by gender and age”.

Other data characteristics: The activity "leisure/free time" in the tables relating to main activities carried out across the day also includes "voluntary work and meetings".

Data source(s) used: European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC): Eu-Silc is expected to become the EU reference source for comparative statistics on income distribution and social exclusion at European level, particularly in the context of the "Programme of Community action to encourage cooperation between Member States to combat social exclusion" and for producing structural indicators on social cohesion for the annual spring report to the European Council. The survey is carried out yearly, and provides both cross-sectional and longitudinal information. A rotational sample design is used. The use of 4 rotational groups allows to follow households up to four years. Household and individual characteristics are collected at the time of the interview, expenses refer to the last 12 months, while income reference period is usually the previous calendar year. Other data characteristics: Data is defined not significant when sample size is between 20 and 49 units.The current data differ from the previous ones following the update of the reference populations according to census results.The released data for 2008 were revised in 2018 after a correction of the carryover universe coefficients.The main source of income has been updated compared to the previous data and has been calculated on income that includes among the components the value of meal vouchers, the value of non-monetary fringe benefits (with the exception of the company car already previously considered), self-consumption (goods produced and consumed by the family) and supplementary pensions.

Data source(s) used: Demographic projections - Years 2017-2065: Forecasts are calculated by gender, year of the forecast, median scenario and uncertainty level ( 90%, 80% and 50% confidence intervals). The data are provided for Italian regions. The forecasts cover a period until year 2065.

Data source(s) used: Marriage dissolution and termination of marriage civil effects (divorces): Every year ISTAT publishes the main results of its surveys of separations and divorces conducted at the registries of the civil courts, collecting data concerning every single procedure which was concluded in judicial terms during the reference year. As a consequence of the introduction of the extrajudicial agreements for consensual separations and divorces, in 2015 for the first year Istat disseminates data collected with a new information flow created with the civil registrar offices. These new data refer in particular to the two new cases introduced for those who intend to separate by mutual consent as an alternative to the traditional ratification by the court: lawyer assisted negotiation (art. 6); agreement before the civil registrar in the absence of patrimonial issues and underage children, or adult children who are legally incompetent, severely handicapped or not economically self-sufficient (Art. 12). These data make it possible to update trends in the two phenomena over time and monitor their main characteristics: the duration of marriages and the age of spouses upon separation, the type and duration of proceedings, the number of children involved and custody of minors. Other data characteristics: Due to rounding, totals in a table may slightly differ to the sum of the respective components.

Data have been updated since 2nd march 2015 due to the statistical back-recalculation of population time series, based on Census results, disseminated the 14th January 2015. Monthly data were recalculated from January 2004 to December 2014; quarterly data from second quarter 2002 to third quarter 2014; annual data from year 2002 to 2013.

Data source(s) used: The 19th October 2011 Istat released the new annual series of national accounts based on the most updated versions of the classification of economic activities (Ateco 2007, the national version of Nace Rev. 2) and of products by activity (CPA 2008). At the same time, as in other European countries, the time series of national accounts have been subjected to an extraordinary revision, exploiting advances in methods and sources (e.g. the new balance of payments estimates issued by the Bank of Italy).Labour input: the main definitions on labour inputs (ESA95) concern persons employed, jobs and full time equivalent. In the system of national accounts, these concepts are defined on the base of economic territory and centre of interest. Labour inputs have to be classified on the base of the economic activity unit at local level and of the institutional unit. The Italian approach to the labour inputs estimates allows to calculate the jobs and the corresponding full time equivalent, that represent the transformation to full-time of jobs for different working categories (registered, unregistered, main, multiple) detectable by integrating and comparing different statistical sources or by using indirect estimating methods.

Data source (s) used: Labor force survey: from the labor force survey Istat derives its official estimates of the number of employed persons and job-seekers, as well as information about the main labor supply aggregates, such as occupation, economic activity area , hours worked, contract types and duration and training. Istat collects the information each quarter by interviewing a sample of nearly 77,000 households, representing 175,000 individuals who are resident in Italy, even if they are temporarily abroad. Households usually living abroad and permanent members of communities (religious institutes, military barracks, etc.) are not included. The survey has been updated over the years to take into account continual transformations in the labor market on the one hand, and the growing information requirements of users regarding the social and economic reality of our nation, on the other. The most recent change was undertaken at the beginning of in 2004 in line with European Union regulations. The current sample survey is continuous insofar as information is collected during every week of the year and no longer during a single week per quarter. The results are still disseminated on a quarterly basis, except for provincial data which are disseminated annually. A significant feature of the survey is the establishment of new criteria for identifying employed and unemployed individuals, as well as a far-reaching reorganization of the data collection and production process. To make new estimates comparable with estimates referring to previous years, Istat has reconstructed the time series since the fourth quarter of 1992.

Data source(s) used: Urban environmental data The survey collects environmental informations relating to the capital cities of the 110 Italian provinces. In addition to data collection for the reference year of the survey, the survey also allows the possibility of revising the statistical information collected in relation to previous years, in order to consolidate the time series already available (since 2000). The data collected also contributes to fuel the Environmental Monitoring on the cities, a database designed for the integrated management of statistical information relating to the main environmental issues in urban areas. The issues currently under investigation are: drinking water and water treatment, air quality, use of energy sources, collection and waste management, noise pollution, public transport, urban green, eco-friendly forms of planning, organization and management of local governments. Data and the statistical information derived from the survey, annually disclosed, represent an essential information tool to support the monitoring of the state of the urban environment and the activities undertaken by governments to ensure the good quality of the environment in cities.

Data source(s) used: The statistical business register Asia-employment The statistical business register Asia-employment contains details on the employment of units covered by the business register Asia; since it was set-up in 2011, in the occasion of the Italian “virtual” economic census CIS2011, it is yearly updated. It is organized according to a LEED structure (Linked Employer Employee Database) that brings together information from both sides of the enterprise, individual (workers) and job relation classified according to the international standards on employment, in the reference year. The register Asia-employment contains information on the enterprise, i.e. those characteristics already registered in the Business register Asia, the individual and the main job variables by job typologies. In specific, employment is formed by internal, employees and self-employed, and so-called external workers of an enterprise which represents all people that, not classified as employees or self-employment participate to the productive process of the enterprise on the base of a contract. The group of external workers contains also those temporary workers which can be utilized from a temporary employment agency. Employment is measured in terms of yearly average of job positions, calculated on the base of the presence of the worker in the week of reference of each month. With regards to variables, worker’s characteristics such as sex, age, nationality and education are available for all the typologies; job variables vary according to the job typologies. Available variables are: professional status, type of contract, beneficiary of active labor policies, for employees; self-employment in strict sense and contributing family workers, for total self-employment; class of remuneration, type of contract and period of work, for external “parasubordinati” workers; period of work, for temporary workers.From the 2014 version three more innovations have been introduced: 1-The link with SIM (Microdata Integrated System) so that unique identification codes are attributed to each individual-worker. SIM is a centralized system that integrates and stores all administrative data feeding the base Registers. Specifically, the non-invariant character of the workers (gender, age and place of birth) is derived from SIM. This integration ensures that processing of microdata of workers is carried out in compliance with the current legislation on the protection of personal data. 2-For the attribution of the variable “beneficiary of contributory reliefs”, the target typology “youth” was classified by using the information both on the contribution type and on the apprenticeship: i) Apprenticeship for qualification and for professional diploma, ii) Apprenticeship or professional contract, iii) Apprenticeship with high education and research. The classification changes according to the evolution of labor policies regulation 3-The classification of education for the individuals-workers is the result of a procedure that integrates the education levels obtained at the 2011 Population Census with the Istat data base on Education Information (BIT) yearly updated with administrative sources. The information on education in Asia-employmentEducation is a hierarchic variable assigned to each individual-worker at two levels of classification. At first level, educational attainment is represented by 8 modalities, not availability is one of them: no formal education and primary school certificatediploma of lower secondary educationupper secondary school certificatediploma of upper secondary educationuniversity degree (2-3 years) old programme, first degree, first level academic diplomamaster's degree (second level - old and new programme) and second level academic diplomaresearch doctoral degreenot availableAt the second hierarchical level the following three first levels are classified into groups: diploma of upper secondary education, into 3 groups in addition to the not available mode university degree (2-3 years) old programme, first degree, first level academic diploma, into 18 groups such as AFAM first level academic diploma, university degree (2-3 years), master’s degree (3 years), in addition to the not available modemaster's degree (second level - old and new programme) and second level academic diploma, into 16 groups such as AFAM second level academic diploma, master’s degree ((second level - old and new programme), in addition to the not available modeIt should be underlined that while offering relevant information potential, the first and second level of education attainment do not have total coverage in the Register. "Unavailable" mode indicates the missing worker’s education due to a lack of information in the database.

Data source(s) used: Small and medium enterprise survey -SME (including professional and artistic activities):The sample survey on the small and medium enterprises (SME) covers the population of enterprises with 1 to 99 persons employed and answers to the request of SBS EU Council Regulation n. 58/97 (until the reference year 2007 in Nace Rev.1.1) and SBS EU Council Regulation n. 295/2008 (starting from the reference year 2008 in Nace Rev.2). The observation unit is the enterprise and the frame is represented by the Italian business register (Asia). The sampling design is a one stage stratified random sampling, with the strata defined by the combination of economic activity, size class of persons employed and administrative region. The main variables collected annually by an electronic questionnaire regard business competitivity, employment, personnel cost, investments. The data collected is treated with statistical procedures for assuring consistency and coherence and non-response technique, by integrating data from administrative sources. The estimation methodology is based on calibration, by using known totals from the business register (the number of the persons employed and enterprises).Survey on enterprise accounting system: The Survey on Economic and financial accounts of large enterprises covers all enterprises operating in Italy with at least 100 persons employed and concerns all enterprises of industrial and services sectors excluding financial services The survey collects data concerning profit-and-loss accounts and balance sheets and data about KAU (Kind of Activity Units) .

At the same time, as in other European countries, the time series of national accounts have been subjected to an extraordinary revision, exploiting advances in methods and sources (e.g. the new balance of payments estimates issued by the Bank of Italy).Final consumption expenditure by general government It includes two categories of expenditures: a) The value of the goods and services produced by general government itself other than own-account capital formation and sales; b) Purchases by general government of goods and services produced by market producers that are supplied to households – without any transformation – as social transfers in kind. This implies that general government just pays for goods and services that the sellers provide to households. It provides a breakdown of government expenditure according to their function. To meet this end, economic flows of expenditure must be aggregated according to the Classification of the Functions of Government (COFOG).

Data source(s) used: Consumer price index for blue and white-collar worker households: It refers to consumption of households whose reference person is an employee.

Since 2009, economic activities are those considered by the division 10 to 82 under the new Ateco 2007 (derived by Nace Rev. 2) classification (excluding the section K-Financial and insurance activities and division 75-veterinary services). Since 2010 is also considered the activity 951-repair of computers and communication equipment used for the calculation of the aggregate relating to the ICT sector. The object of the survey are the equipments of ICT enterprises and the measurement of e-commerce. The technique chosen is the investigation of a postal self-completion questionnaire on paper until 2005; since the year 2006 is also made available a web site for online completion of the questionnaire in pdf; since from 2009, the questionnaire is sent also in paper but only at the time of first reminder; since 2011 is no longer sent the paper questionnaire except upon the request of users and the compilation is done by filling in an electronic questionnaire. The sampling design used for the survey is stratified random type. Businesses universe were divided into homogeneous layers for level of economic activity, geographical area and number of employees. The estimation method used is based on the attribution to any undertaking by a factor, said final weight, which indicates how many are the exploits of population units represented by that respondent. The calculation of the final weights was performed using auxiliary variables as the number of firms and the number of employees, according to the information in the archive ASIA. The variables disseminated at regional level are only a subset of those available at the level of economic activity, number of persons employed and geographical area. Each year, the variables collected are defined at EU level and, apart from a few 'core' indicators 'core' that are annual or biannual, some topics are investigated each year with specific sections and they are not fully repeated in subsequent years. For this reason, some published indicators not have values in the subsequent years.

Data source(s) used: Labor force survey: from the labor force survey Istat derives its official estimates of the number of employed persons and job-seekers, as well as information about the main labor supply aggregates, such as occupation, economic activity area , hours worked, contract types and duration and training. Istat collects the information each quarter by interviewing a sample of nearly 77,000 households, representing 175,000 individuals who are resident in Italy, even if they are temporarily abroad. Households usually living abroad and permanent members of communities (religious institutes, military barracks, etc.) are not included. The survey has been updated over the years to take into account continual transformations in the labor market on the one hand, and the growing information requirements of users regarding the social and economic reality of our nation, on the other. The most recent change was undertaken at the beginning of in 2004 in line with European Union regulations. The current sample survey is continuous insofar as information is collected during every week of the year and no longer during a single week per quarter. The results are still disseminated on a quarterly basis, except for provincial data which are disseminated annually. A significant feature of the survey is the establishment of new criteria for identifying employed and unemployed individuals, as well as a far-reaching reorganization of the data collection and production process. To make new estimates comparable with estimates referring to previous years, Istat has reconstructed the time series since the fourth quarter of 1992. Data have been updated since 2nd March 2015 due to the statistical back-recalculation of population time series, based on Census results, disseminated the 14th January 2015. Monthly data were recalculated from January 2004 to December 2014; quarterly data from second quarter 2002 to third quarter 2014; annual data from year 2002 to 2013.

Data source(s) used: Community innovation survey: The Community Innovation Survey (CIS) was designed to complement the traditional indicators, such as R&D; expenditure and patent statistics, in the measurement of innovation. In particular, the CIS provides a sound statistical basis for better understanding the innovation process and its effects on the economy and for monitoring and evaluating the innovation policies of the Member States and the European Union. Since 2000 the CIS has become a major data source of the European Innovation Scoreboard (EIS), an instrument developed at the initiative of the European Commission, under the Lisbon Strategy, to assess and compare the innovation performance of the EU Member States. The CIS provides the users with a number of indicators as well as data for analytical studies on several features of the innovation activity, such as product and process innovation, organisational and marketing innovation; innovation activities and expenditures; intellectual property rights, impact on turnover, and effects of innovation, sources of information, cooperation for innovation and the factors hampering innovation. It is conducted by EU Member States and candidate countries, plus Norway and Iceland under the co-ordination of Eurostat using a harmonised questionnaire and survey method which define the structure of the questions to be asked and the statistical methods to be used by the countries participating. The CIS 4 survey is based on Commission Regulation No 1450/2004, which establishes the legal basis for innovation statistics and makes it compulsory to deliver data on a number of basic variables. The methodological basis of the CIS is provided by the Oslo Manual, a joint publication by Eurostat and the OECD. The target population is represented by all the enterprises with at least 10 employees operating in manufacturing industries as well as in service sectors. A common set of methodology and a core questionnaire are defined and implemented in order to provide comparable, harmonised and representative data on a pan-European scale.Data here published refer to years 2010-2012, exept for innovation expenditure and turnover's shares from product innovations that are surveyed with reference of 2012. Other data characteristics: As a result of rounding the first decimal place, sometimes the sum of the percentages is not exactly equal to the total.

Data source(s) used: The 3th October 2014 Istat released the new annual series of national accounts based on the new European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). At the same time, as in other European countries, the time series of national accounts have been subjected to an extraordinary revision, exploiting advances in methods and sources (e.g. the new balance of payments estimates issued by the Bank of Italy based on the new manual BPM6).GDP and expenditure components: It shows among the resources gross domestic product at market prices and net imports; while the uses include final consumption and gross capital formation. Generation of income account: It shows the destination of domestic product (NDP) to compensation of employees and indirect taxes less subsidies. It allows to calcolate the operating surplus that corresponds to the income which the units obtain from their own use of their production facilities.

Data source(s) used: The 3rd October 2014 Istat released the new annual series of national accounts based on the new European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). At the same time, as in other European countries, the time series of national accounts have been subjected to an extraordinary revision, exploiting advances in methods and sources (e.g. the new balance of payments estimates issued by the Bank of Italy based on the new manual BPM6).Gross value added at basic prices: Gross value added at basic prices is output valued at basic prices less intermediate consumption valued at purchasers’ prices. The basic price is the amount receivable by the producer from the purchaser for a unit of a product or service minus any tax on the product plus any subsidy on the product.Gross value added at factor cost: Gross value added at factor cost is derived from GVA at basic prices by subtricting other taxes on production and adding other subsidies on production.Compensation of employees, wages and salaries and social security contributions:Compensation of employees (D1) is defined as the total remuneration, in cash or in kind, payable by an employer to an employee in return for work done by the latter during the accounting period. Compensation of employees is broken down into: wages and salaries (D11): wages and salaries in cash; wages and salaries in kind; employers’ social contributions (D12): employers’ actual social contributions (D121); employers’ imputed social contributions (D122).Household consumption: It consists of the expenditure, including expenditure whose value must be estimated indirectly, incurred by resident households on individual consumption goods and services, including those sold at prices that are not economically significant and including consumption goods and services acquired abroad. It presents the final consumption expenditure of households broken down by the COICOP (Classification of Individual Consumption According to Purpose) classification and by durability. Final consumption expenditure by general government It includes two categories of expenditures: a) The value of the goods and services produced by general government itself other than own-account capital formation and sales; b) Purchases by general government of goods and services produced by market producers that are supplied to households – without any transformation – as social transfers in kind. This implies that general government just pays for goods and services that the sellers provide to households. It provides a breakdown of government expenditure according to their function. To meet this end, economic flows of expenditure must be aggregated according to the Classification of the Functions of Government (COFOG).Gross fixed capital formation: Gross fixed capital formation consists of resident producers' acquisitions, less disposals, of fixed assets during a given period plus certain additions to the value of non-produced assets realised by the productive activity of producer or institutional units.

Data source(s) used: European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC): Eu-Silc is expected to become the EU reference source for comparative statistics on income distribution and social exclusion at European level, particularly in the context of the "Programme of Community action to encourage cooperation between Member States to combat social exclusion" and for producing structural indicators on social cohesion for the annual spring report to the European Council. The survey is carried out yearly, and provides both cross-sectional and longitudinal information. A rotational sample design is used. The use of 4 rotational groups allows to follow households up to four years. Household and individual characteristics are collected at the time of the interview, expenses refer to the last 12 months, while income reference period is usually the previous calendar year. Other data characteristics: Data is defined not significant when sample size is between 20 and 49 units.The current data differ from the previous ones following the update of the reference populations according to census results.The released data for 2008 were revised in 2018 after a correction of the carryover universe coefficients.The main source of income has been updated compared to the previous data and has been calculated on income that includes among the components the value of meal vouchers, the value of non-monetary fringe benefits (with the exception of the company car already previously considered), self-consumption (goods produced and consumed by the family) and supplementary pensions.

Data source(s) used: Trips and holidays survey: The survey, in accordance with the European Regulation 692/2011 (repealing from 1 January 2012 the European Directive 95/57/EC), satisfies the national needs by collecting regularly data on 'tourism demand' and ensuring, together with supply data, the availability of an integrated system of statistical information in the field of tourism at national level. Moreover, complying with the Regulation, the survey guaranties a set of harmonized statistical information across all member states of the European Union. The aim is to quantify and analyze the flows of tourists resident in Italy, both within the country and abroad, as well as to give information on the characteristics of the trips and on the socio-demographic characteristics of tourists and non-tourists. The reference periods are the all months of the year. In each period, for each household member, information about trips ended in the referring month is collected. Tourism flows are distinguished into trips for personal reasons and business trips, the first ones differentiated between short holiday (1-3 overnight stays) and long holiday trips (4 or more overnight stays). The survey provides a wide set of information on tourist trips, such as destination of the trip, main purpose, type of organization of travel, main type of accommodation and main mean of transport, duration and period of the year for each trips made, etc. From 1997 to 2013, Istat carried out the quarterly survey with CATI tecnique (Computer Assisted Telephone Interview) on a sample of about 14,000 households per year (approximately 3,500 per quarter and 32,000 individuals per year). Since 2014 the survey has been included into another process, Household budget survey, becoming a focus into the initial and ending interview. It is conducted monthly with CAPI technique (Computer Assisted Personal Interview), over a theory sample of 28.000 households (7.000 households per quarter). Comparability of the series of the main data has been guaranteed over time at national level. In fact, the principal macrodata have been re-built by applaying a tecnique of time series re-building.

Data source(s) used: INPSINPS’ administrative archives (F24, Emens)Workers who pay payroll taxes to the so called Gestione separata, that is the separate management fund under article 2, paragraph 26 of law n.335/1995, are called Parasubordinati workers. Workers paid by the voucher system (see) are not included here.The statistical unit is represented by a worker who had paid contributions for at least once during the year. We therefore consider only registered payroll taxes payer in the year. If the contributions are made by the worker, with the mechanism of advances and balances in the same terms for income tax payments, she or he is classified as "professional". If the contributions are made by the principal (natural person or legal entity) within the month following the payment of compensation, the worker is classified as a "collaborator. This distinction is therefore based on payroll taxes payment type.It is usual to define parasubordinati workers who have no other source of income (job or pension) as “esclusivi”; all others are called “concorrenti”, because for them the activity concurs to the formation of income. This distinction is therefore based on the activity type. Moreover, “concorrenti” only pay contributions for OADS type pensions (old age, disability and survivors) , while “esclusivi” pay even a special additional contribution to cover maternity benefits, family allowances and other. As an example we show off the values of year 2010: for “concorrenti” the rate is 16%, for “esclusivi” the rate is 26.72% (of which 0.72% is the special additional rate).

Data source(s) used: Participation rates in education and training are indicators adopted by the Lisbon Strategy, and subsequently reasserted in "Europe 2020", in order to define strategic objectives that are essential for creating sustainable economic growth, developing the labour market and increasing social cohesion.The source of "Participation rate in early childhood education" indicator is Eurostat ."Participation rates in education and training" are processing of data from Oecd for the cross-country indicator. For Italian regional figures the data source is Istat elaboration for UOE (Unesco, Oecd, Eurostat). The sources of "Participation rate in lifelong learning" and "Population aged 15 to 29 NEET (Not in education, employment or training)" indicators are: Eurostat, Labour force survey, for the cross-country indicators and Istat, Labour force survey, for the Italian regional indicators.

Data source(s) used: Statistics on social security and welfare. Beneficiaries of pension benefits:The Survey provides statistics on the number and on the retirement income of beneficiaries by type of pension

Data source(s) used: Statistics on social security and welfare - Pensions:The English description of the source is not available at this time, for methodological details go to the Siqual system Other data characteristics: Time Series Revision :The break in the time series is due to the revision of data from 2011 to 2013 referring to pensions paid to former civil servants and for civil disability pensions paid by Autonomous Province of Trento.

Data source(s) used: INPSCentral Register of pensioners The statistical information on social security benefits was produced by using the archive called Central Register of pensioners managed by INPS (the Italian National Institute for Social Security). This archive was established by D.P.R. (Presidential Decree) no. 1338 of December 31, 1971, amended by D.L. (Decree) n.352 of July 6, 1978 and law no.85 of March 22, 1995. The institutional aims of the Register are the collection, preservation and processing of data and information about pension beneficiaries covered of pensions by the mandatory general disability, old-age and survivors’ insurance, the mandatory social security systems replacing that insurance, the mandatory systems for the provision of pensions to freelancers, any other mandatory social security system and any other supplementary or additional pension; under Article 3 of the D.L. no. 352 of 1978, the Register must also provide for the collection and preservation of data and information about beneficiaries of pension benefits or welfare uninterrupted allowances of a welfare nature, war pensions, permanent disability income or survivors’ income for those who died because of an accident at work or an occupational disease. The statistical analysis unit used is pension, that means the recurring and continuous supply of money paid individually by Public and Private Authorities and Institutions when the following requirements are met: upon reaching a certain age and reaching a certain degree of creditable service; in case of lack or reduction in the ability to work because of congenital or supervened impairment or because of accident at work or wars; death of the beneficiary. The yearly amount of pensions is surveyed as at December 31 and is made of the following factors, gross of any possible withholding: basic amount, increase linked to the variations in the cost of living index and trends of wages, salaries, year-end bonuses and possible other allowances and arrears. The yearly amount of each pension is the product of the monthly amount of the pension paid as at December 31 of the year and the number of monthly payment for which the payment is provided. The pension expenditure that follows represents a stock datum, and therefore does not coincide with the pension expenditure derived from accounting data of institutions that have provided the benefits (economic data of the budget).

Data source(s) used: The 19th October 2011 Istat released the new annual series of national accounts based on the most updated versions of the classification of economic activities (Ateco 2007, the national version of Nace Rev. 2) and of products by activity (CPA 2008). At the same time, as in other European countries, the time series of national accounts have been subjected to an extraordinary revision, exploiting advances in methods and sources (e.g. the new balance of payments estimates issued by the Bank of Italy).Per capita values are average values obtained relating economic aggregates (e.g., GDP, Households final consumption expenditure, value added, compensation of employees)to the number of inhabitants or to the variables concerning labour inputs.

Data source(s) used: Processing of data on personnel working in the public and private healthcare system. Data are provided annually to international bodies (Eurostat, OECD, WHO) within the Joint Questionnaire on non-monetary health data. Sources:1) Medical specialists - Istat elaborations on IQVIA data (OneKey database) and on data of the Ministry of Health for general paediatricians (family paediatricians);2) General practitioners - Istat elaborations on IQVIA data (OneKey database) and on data of the Ministry of Health for general practitioners (family doctors);3) Dentists, Pharmacists, Nurses, Midwives - Istat elaborations on data of the Consortium Management of Health Professions

Data source(s) used: Persons convicted for crime with irrevocable judgement: Survey on convicted persons for felony and misdemeanor with irrevocable judgement, type of crimes and misdemeanors committed, main features of the convicted persons and of the sentence. Other data characteristics: The number of persons convicted by type of crime is calculated on the most serious crime committed. The number of convicted persons by final judgement and the number of crimes is available with reference to two types of classifications. An analytical classification including about 470 items of crime, and a synthetic one, where the individual items are hierarchically grouped in 130 items broadly reflecting the Titles, Books and Sections of the Italian Penal Code. The complementary legislation is organized grouping the type of crimes by subject. The analytical classification of the types of crimes committed is given only in Italian language, as many crimes present in the Italian legislation do not have an exact match in the laws of other Countries. The literal translation of this classification is not available because the meaning of the legal terms translated into English could lead to misleading interpretations. An international classification is not available yet.

"1" means that the offender committed only one kind of crime. "2", "3", "4 and over" mean that, in addition to the most serious crime evident in the table, the offender committed other crimes.

Data source(s) used: Survey on plant protection products provided for agricultural use The survey took in all enterprises which distribute such products in Italy, for each province, either under their own brand or foreign brands. The main variables surveyed are quantity of plant protection product and quantity of the active substances distributed for each province. The term plant protection products indicates those products containing or comprised of substances intended for various uses, including protecting plants or plant products from harmful organisms, destroying unwanted plants or parts of plants. The term active substances refers to all substances which exert a general or specific action against harmful organisms or on plants or parts of them.

Data source(s) used: European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC): Eu-Silc is expected to become the EU reference source for comparative statistics on income distribution and social exclusion at European level, particularly in the context of the "Programme of Community action to encourage cooperation between Member States to combat social exclusion" and for producing structural indicators on social cohesion for the annual spring report to the European Council. The survey is carried out yearly, and provides both cross-sectional and longitudinal information. A rotational sample design is used. The use of 4 rotational groups allows to follow households up to four years. Household and individual characteristics are collected at the time of the interview, expenses refer to the last 12 months, while income reference period is usually the previous calendar year. Other data characteristics: Data is defined not significant when sample size is between 20 and 49 units.The current data differ from the previous ones following the update of the reference populations according to census results.The released data for 2008 were revised in 2018 after a correction of the carryover universe coefficients.The main source of income has been updated compared to the previous data and has been calculated on income that includes among the components the value of meal vouchers, the value of non-monetary fringe benefits (with the exception of the company car already previously considered), self-consumption (goods produced and consumed by the family) and supplementary pensions.

Data source(s) used: Labour force survey: from the labour force survey Istat derives its official estimates of the number of employed persons and job-seekers, as well as information about the main labour supply aggregates, such as occupation, economic activity area, hours worked, contract types and duration and training. Since being introduced at the beginning of the 1950s, the survey has played a primary role in the statistical documentation and analysis of the employment situation in Italy and has proven to be an indispensable instrument of knowledge for public decision-makers, the media and citizens alike. Istat collects the information each quarter by interviewing a sample of nearly 77,000 households, representing 175,000 individuals who are resident in Italy, even if they are temporarily abroad. Households usually living abroad and permanent members of communities (religious institutes, military barracks, etc.) are not included. The survey has been updated over the years to take into account continual transformations in the labour market on the one hand, and the growing information requirements of users regarding the social and economic reality of our nation, on the other. The most recent change was undertaken at the beginning of 2004 in line with European Union regulations. The current sample survey is continuous insofar as information is collected during every week of the year and no longer during a single week per quarter. The results are still disseminated on a quarterly basis, except for provincial data which are disseminated annually. A significant feature of the survey is the establishment of new criteria for identifying employed and unemployed individuals,as well as a far-reaching reorganisation of the data collection and production process. To make new estimates comparable with estimates referring to previous years, Istat has reconstructed the time series since the fourth quarter of 1992.

To make new estimates comparable with estimates referring to previous years, Istat has reconstructed the time series since the fourth quarter of 1992. Data have been updated since 2nd March 2015 due to the statistical back-recalculation of population time series, based on Census results, disseminated the 14th January 2015. Monthly data were recalculated from January 2004 to December 2014; quarterly data from second quarter 2002 to third quarter 2014; annual data from year 2002 to 2013.

Data source(s) used: Absolute poverty: The ISTAT estimate of the absolute poverty defines as poor a household with a consumption expenditure lower or equal to the monetary value of a basket of goods and services considered as essential to avoid severe forms of social exclusion. The monetary value of the basket of absolute poverty is reviewed every year in the light of trend in prices and compared to the levels of spending on household consumption. To summarize information on different poverty aspects (spread, gravity) two indices are calculated. The first is the proportion of poors (incidence), that is the ratio between the number of households (individuals) in poverty and the number of resident households (individuals). The second is the mean poverty gap (intensity), measuring 'how poors are the poors', that is, in percentage terms, the difference between the mean consumption expenditures of poor households and the monetary value of the basket of absolute poverty. Since 2014, the data source of poverty estimates (the Household Budget Survey) has been completely reviewed. As a consequence, it has been necessary to reconstruct absolute poverty time series since 2005. Time comparisons between 2014 estimates and previously disseminated estimates can be made only using reconstructed data.Relative poverty: The ISTAT estimate of the relative poverty is based on a poverty line (International Standard of Poverty Line - ISPL) defining as poor a household of two components with a consumption expenditure level lower or equal to the mean per-capita consumption expenditure. To define the relative poverty line for different household sizes an equivalence scale is used (Carbonaro equivalence scale) to take into account different needs and economies/diseconomies of scale that can be achieved in bigger/smaller households. To summarize information on different poverty aspects (spread, gravity) two indices are calculated. The first is the proportion of poors (incidence), that is the ratio between the number of households (individuals) in poverty and the number of resident households (individuals). The second is the mean poverty gap (intensity), measuring 'how poors are the poors', that is, in percentage terms, the difference between the mean consumption expenditures of poor households and the poverty line. Since 2014, the data source of poverty estimates (the Household Budget Survey) has been completely reviewed. As a consequence, it has been necessary to reconstruct relative poverty time series since 1997. Time comparisons between 2014 estimates and previously disseminated estimates can be made only using reconstructed data. Other data characteristics: Absolute poverty thresholds: The values of monthly absolute poverty thresholds, for selected household typologies (detailed by number and age of components), by geographical area and municipality type, can be calculated at:

Data source(s) used: Urban environmental data The survey collects environmental informations relating to the capital cities of the 110 Italian provinces. In addition to data collection for the reference year of the survey, the survey also allows the possibility of revising the statistical information collected in relation to previous years, in order to consolidate the time series already available (since 2000). The data collected also contributes to fuel the Environmental Monitoring on the cities, a database designed for the integrated management of statistical information relating to the main environmental issues in urban areas. The issues currently under investigation are: drinking water and water treatment, air quality, use of energy sources, collection and waste management, noise pollution, public transport, urban green, eco-friendly forms of planning, organization and management of local governments. Data and the statistical information derived from the survey, annually disclosed, represent an essential information tool to support the monitoring of the state of the urban environment and the activities undertaken by governments to ensure the good quality of the environment in cities.

Data source(s) used: Reported crimes for which the Judicial authorities have started criminal proceedings and persons involved The survey uses data extracted from the archives of public prosecutors offices for adults and aims to produce statistics on criminal proceedings for which the prosecutors proceed to archiving or early prosecution.

Data source(s) used: Small and medium enterprise survey -SME (including professional and artistic activities):The sample survey on the small and medium enterprises (SME) covers the population of enterprises with 1 to 99 persons employed and answers to the request of SBS EU Council Regulation n. 58/97 (until the reference year 2007 in Nace Rev.1.1) and SBS EU Council Regulation n. 295/2008 (starting from the reference year 2008 in Nace Rev.2). The observation unit is the enterprise and the frame is represented by the Italian business register (Asia). The sampling design is a one stage stratified random sampling, with the strata defined by the combination of economic activity, size class of persons employed and administrative region. The main variables collected annually by an electronic questionnaire regard business competitivity, employment, personnel cost, investments. The data collected is treated with statistical procedures for assuring consistency and coherence and non-response technique, by integrating data from administrative sources. The estimation methodology is based on calibration, by using known totals from the business register (the number of the persons employed and enterprises).Survey on enterprise accounting system: The Survey on Economic and financial accounts of large enterprises covers all enterprises operating in Italy with at least 100 persons employed and concerns all enterprises of industrial and services sectors excluding financial services The survey collects data concerning profit-and-loss accounts and balance sheets and data about KAU (Kind of Activity Units) . Moreover, information regarding employment, investment and personnel costs are requested. The survey is carried out according to the normative guidelines of the EC Structural Business Statistics (SBS) Regulation N 295/2008. The questionnaires is electronic.

Data source(s) used: The 3th October 2014 Istat released the new annual series of national accounts based on the new European System of Accounts (ESA 2010). At the same time, as in other European countries, the time series of national accounts have been subjected to an extraordinary revision, exploiting advances in methods and sources (e.g. the new balance of payments estimates issued by the Bank of Italy based on the new manual BPM6).Labour input: the main definitions on labour inputs (ESA2010) concern persons employed, jobs and full time equivalent. In the system of national accounts, these concepts are defined on the base of economic territory and centre of interest. Labour inputs have to be classified on the base of the economic activity unit at local level and of the institutional unit. The Italian approach to the labour inputs estimates allows to calculate the jobs and the corresponding full time equivalent, that represent the transformation to full-time of jobs for different working categories (registered, unregistered, main, multiple) detectable by integrating and comparing different statistical sources or by using indirect estimating methods.

Data source(s) used: Separation of spouses: Every year ISTAT publishes the main results of its surveys of separations and divorces conducted at the registries of the civil courts, collecting data concerning every single procedure which was concluded in judicial terms during the reference year. As a consequence of the introduction of the extrajudicial agreements for consensual separations and divorces, in 2015 for the first year Istat disseminates data collected with a new information flow created with the civil registrar offices. These new data refer in particular to the two new cases introduced for those who intend to separate by mutual consent as an alternative to the traditional ratification by the court: lawyer assisted negotiation (art. 6); agreement before the civil registrar in the absence of patrimonial issues and underage children, or adult children who are legally incompetent, severely handicapped or not economically self-sufficient (Art. 12). These data make it possible to update trends in the two phenomena over time and monitor their main characteristics: the duration of marriages and the age of spouses upon separation, the type and duration of proceedings, the number of children involved and custody of minors. Other data characteristics: Due to rounding, totals in a table may slightly differ to the sum of the respective components.Average duration of marriage is the difference, in completed years, between the date on which separation proceedings are filed and the date of marriage.

These data make it possible to update trends in the two phenomena over time and monitor their main characteristics: the duration of marriages and the age of spouses upon separation, the type and duration of proceedings, the number of children involved and custody of minors. Other data characteristics: Due to rounding, totals in a table may slightly differ to the sum of the respective components.Average duration of marriage is the difference, in completed years, between the date on which separation proceedings are filed and the date of marriage.

Data source(s) used: Data source: SICA Register : The statistical information about the Social Card was produced using the data of the SICA (Sistema Informativo Carta Acquisti) archive which has been set up in 2008, when the Social Card was introduced (Law Decree 25 June 2008, n. 112, art. 81). The statistical analysis unit used is the Social Card holder. The Social Card is a debit card which can be used either for grocery shopping or for domestic utilities (i.e. gas, electricity) payment. The ordinary one is granted to Italian citizens over 65 or children under 3 years old, who are in economic hardship condition. The Social Card is currently recharged by 80 euro every second month.From 2014 was introduced the new Social card (Experimental Social card), which provides a monthly contribution variable depending on the number of members of the household: 2 members (231 euro), 3 members (281 euro), 4 members (331 euro), 5 or more (404 euro). The requirements for the Experimental Social card are: be Italian or EU citizen or foreigner with a residence permit, resident in the municipality where he does the request at least 1 year;ISEE income less than or equal to 3,000 euro;for who is owner of the dwelling: value for ICI less than 30,000 euro;movable assets of less than 8,000 euro;any treatments economic for social security, welfare or indemnity under 600 euro monthly; not possess vehicles registered in the previous 12 months, or more than 1300cc cars or motorcycles above 250cc, registered in the last 36 months; in the family must have at least one component under 18; no member of the family must pay employment at the time of the request and at least one member must have lost jobs over the last 36 months, or at least one component must have a working relationship with income not over 4,000 euro in the six months before the request; preference will be given, being equal conditions to: families with housing problems, single parent with minor children, parents with children with disabilities, families with three or more children.

Data source(s) used: Survey on social actions and services of single and associated municipalites: The survey collects annually information on social services managed by municipalities, so ensuring the monitoring of resources used and generated assets as part of the Integrated Network of local Social Services. The detection of the data is conduct in cooperation with the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF), with different Regions and the autonomous provinces of Bolzano and Trento. Data are collected from 2003 through a computing platform accessible to all municipalities and associations involved in the management of the social services. From 2009 it was developed an additional module of the survey questionnaire, called "Questionnaire Day Nursery", to collect more detailed information on socio-educational services for early childhood than those available on all other social services.Warning on municipal dataIn Italy the management of social services is often held up by associative bodies for neighboring municipalities. Thus the disaggregation of data at the municipal level has required the introduction of an estimation component: the number of users, costs and the contribution paid by users includes both the activity of each municipality, both the additional shares arising from associative management of services. The data collected from associative bodies are distributed among the municipalities that belong to it in proportion to the reference population of the services.It should also be noted that there are other forms of association, less structured, which are not represented by the data at the municipal level. For example, through an agreement, a municipality that doesn’t have a day nursery may offer its residents the reception in a structure of a neighboring municipality. In this case, the data are contained entirely in the questionnaire of the owner of the service.

Data source(s) used: Survey on hospital discharges after miscarriage: In 1979 Istat, according to the law 194/78 on voluntary abortion, started two surveys: one on miscarriages and one on induced abortions. The first one collects data on miscarriages for which it is necessary the hospitalization of the woman, both in public or private hospitals. This means that the survey does not consider events in which there isn't any medical intervention or events that need only ambulatory care. Data are collected using an individual and anonymous form (Istat D.11) that contains information about the woman and her pregnancy, and about the abortion. The first ones contain: date of birth; place of birth and place of residence; citizenship; marital status; educational level; work status (a woman has a "not occupational status" if she is an housewife, or a student, or a retired person, or if she is looking for the first job. A woman has an "occupational status" if she is actually working or if she is unemployed e.g. she lost a previous job and she's looking for a new one); professional position; branch of economic activity; past reproductive history (number of live births, stillbirths, miscarriages, voluntary abortions); weeks of amenorrhea; recourse to assisted reproductive techniques. Information about the event are the following: date and place of miscarriage; cause, type of operation, type of anaesthesia; type of hospitalization; length of stay in hospital; complications.

Data source(s) used: Marriages: The survey on marriages, was established in 1926. It's an individual and exhaustive survey, which collects the data of all the marriages celebrated in Italy and the socio-demographic characteristics of the spouses.The survey uses the Istat D.3 model, compiled by the officer of the municipality where the marriage was celebrated. The model is divided into two parts: the first one collects the information about the marriage: the date, the rite of celebration (religious or civil), and the common property regime chosen by the couple (joint or separated ownership of property); the second one collects information about the spouses: date of birth, place of birth, place of residence at the time of marriage, future place of residence of the spouses, marital status, level of education, occupational status, position in the profession, branch of economic activity, citizenship. Other data characteristics: The indicators that do not involve the use of the population (civil weddings - percentage values, joint ownership of property - percentages, marriages with at least one foreign spouse - percentages, second or later marriages - percentages) were calculated according to three different territorial classification:- According to the classification in force in 2017 (107 provinces);- According to the classification in force at the time of the Census of 2011 (110 provinces);- According to the classification in force in the year in which the marriage was celebrated, in the event that was different from that of 2017 and of the Census of 2011 (103 provinces for 2004 and 2005, 107 provinces for the years ranging from 2006 to 2009).

Data source(s) used: Processing and analysis of indicators on cultural institutions and activities: The process regards the treatment of statistical data from previous surveys and / or statistical processing of sectoral interest for the production of indicators and issues related to spatial tables in different domains for cultural sector (publishing, heritage library, archival, museum, performing arts, media, etc..) whose sources are represented by entities Sistan and non Sistan respect to distribution and use of cultural production.

Data source(s) used: Vital statistics on causes of death:The Vital statistics system on causes of death is the main source for the evaluation of the health status of the population, and for the health programs and resources allocation.Data on causes of all deaths occurring in Italy during a calendar year are collected by the death certificates Istat/D.4 and D.4 bis.The physician must fill the health section of the certificate (part A) and the civil status officer of the appurtenant municipality must fill the demographic section of the certificate (part B). Other data characteristics: Deaths of people 15 years old and more, with suicides and intentional self-harm codes in the death certificates as underlying cause of death and/or multiple causes of death.The list of causes considered in comorbidity was obtained through a selection of non-traumatic causes of death reported on the death certificate, excluding less informative conditions, and those conditions that represent mechanisms of deaths and consequences of the injury rather than underlying diseases.The totals of the variables "mental diseases" and "physical diseases" may not coincide with the sum of the individual items because each dead may have had several pathologies.For more details consult the "related files" ("Export" section).

Data source(s) used: Labor force survey: from the labor force survey Istat derives its official estimates of the number of employed persons and job-seekers, as well as information about the main labor supply aggregates, such as occupation, economic activity area , hours worked, contract types and duration and training. Istat collects the information each quarter by interviewing a sample of nearly 77,000 households, representing 175,000 individuals who are resident in Italy, even if they are temporarily abroad. Households usually living abroad and permanent members of communities (religious institutes, military barracks, etc.) are not included. The survey has been updated over the years to take into account continual transformations in the labor market on the one hand, and the growing information requirements of users regarding the social and economic reality of our nation, on the other. The most recent change was undertaken at the beginning of in 2004 in line with European Union regulations. The current sample survey is continuous insofar as information is collected during every week of the year and no longer during a single week per quarter. The results are still disseminated on a quarterly basis, except for provincial data which are disseminated annually. A significant feature of the survey is the establishment of new criteria for identifying employed and unemployed individuals, as well as a far-reaching reorganization of the data collection and production process. To make new estimates comparable with estimates referring to previous years, Istat has reconstructed the time series since the fourth quarter of 1992. Data have been updated since 2nd March 2015 due to the statistical back-recalculation of population time series, based on Census results, disseminated the 14th January 2015. Monthly data were recalculated from January 2004 to December 2014; quarterly data from second quarter 2002 to third quarter 2014; annual data from year 2002 to 2013.

Data source(s) used: European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC): Eu-Silc is expected to become the EU reference source for comparative statistics on income distribution and social exclusion at European level, particularly in the context of the "Programme of Community action to encourage cooperation between Member States to combat social exclusion" and for producing structural indicators on social cohesion for the annual spring report to the European Council. The survey is carried out yearly, and provides both cross-sectional and longitudinal information. A rotational sample design is used. The use of 4 rotational groups allows to follow households up to four years. Household and individual characteristics are collected at the time of the interview, expenses refer to the last 12 months, while income reference period is usually the previous calendar year. Other data characteristics: Data is defined not significant when sample size is between 20 and 49 units.The current data differ from the previous ones following the update of the reference populations according to census results.The released data for 2008 were revised in 2018 after a correction of the carryover universe coefficients.The main source of income has been updated compared to the previous data and has been calculated on income that includes among the components the value of meal vouchers, the value of non-monetary fringe benefits (with the exception of the company car already previously considered), self-consumption (goods produced and consumed by the family) and supplementary pensions.

Data source(s) used: Trips and holidays survey: The survey, in accordance with the European Regulation 692/2011 (repealing from 1 January 2012 the European Directive 95/57/EC), satisfies the national needs by collecting regularly data on 'tourism demand' and ensuring, together with supply data, the availability of an integrated system of statistical information in the field of tourism at national level. Moreover, complying with the Regulation, the survey guaranties a set of harmonized statistical information across all member states of the European Union. The aim is to quantify and analyze the flows of tourists resident in Italy, both within the country and abroad, as well as to give information on the characteristics of the trips and on the socio-demographic characteristics of tourists and non-tourists. The reference periods are the all months of the year. In each period, for each household member, information about trips ended in the referring month is collected. Tourism flows are distinguished into trips for personal reasons and business trips, the first ones differentiated between short holiday (1-3 overnight stays) and long holiday trips (4 or more overnight stays). The survey provides a wide set of information on tourist trips, such as destination of the trip, main purpose, type of organization of travel, main type of accommodation and main mean of transport, duration and period of the year for each trips made, etc. From 1997 to 2013, Istat carried out the quarterly survey with CATI tecnique (Computer Assisted Telephone Interview) on a sample of about 14,000 households per year (approximately 3,500 per quarter and 32,000 individuals per year). Since 2014 the survey has been included into another process, Household budget survey, becoming a focus into the initial and ending interview. It is conducted monthly with CAPI technique (Computer Assisted Personal Interview), over a theory sample of 28.000 households (7.000 households per quarter). Comparability of the series of the main data has been guaranteed over time at national level. In fact, the principal macrodata have been re-built by applaying a tecnique of time series re-building.

Data source(s) used: Multipurpose survey on households: trips, holidays and daily life: Since 1997, Istat carries out the quarterly survey CATI (Computer Assisted Telephone Interview) "Trips and Holidays" on a sample of about 14,000 households per year (approximately 3,500 per quarter and 32,000 individuals per year).

The aim is to quantify and analyze the flows of tourists resident in Italy, both within the country and abroad, as well as to give information on the characteristics of the trips and on the socio-demographic characteristics of tourists and non-tourists. The reference periods are the four quarters January-March, April-June, July-September and October-December. In each period, for each household member, information about trips ended in the referring quarter is collected. Tourism flows are distinguished into trips for personal reasons and business trips, the first ones differentiated between short holiday (1-3 overnight stays) and long holiday trips (4 or more overnight stays). The survey provides a wide set of information on tourist trips, such as destination of the trip, main purpose, type of organization of travel, main type of accommodation and main mean of transport, duration and period of the year for each trips made, etc.

Data source(s) used: INPS Disease sick pay paid by INPS is a benefit granted to employees (excluding servants, employees of industry , managers and doormen) and quasi-employees when there is a morbid event (disease) that causes the inability to work. The statistics were produced using data relating to the electronic transmission of medical certificates of the disease, by family doctors, for employees in the private sector and public administration in operation since 1 January 2011. Certificates of disease are treated by date of onset of the disease in order to treat the problem not only with reference to the flow of the certificates , but also with respect to disease events and their overall duration , even if referring to more than one certificate. The statistical unit is represented by a medical certificate of illness transmitted for each event that occurred during the observation of the event or illness that occurred during the observation or the employee with at least one event of illness occurred during the observation.

Data source(s) used: Labor force survey: from the labor force survey Istat derives its official estimates of the number of employed persons and job-seekers, as well as information about the main labor supply aggregates, such as occupation, economic activity area , hours worked, contract types and duration and training. Istat collects the information each quarter by interviewing a sample of nearly 77,000 households, representing 175,000 individuals who are resident in Italy, even if they are temporarily abroad. Households usually living abroad and permanent members of communities (religious institutes, military barracks, etc.) are not included. The survey has been updated over the years to take into account continual transformations in the labor market on the one hand, and the growing information requirements of users regarding the social and economic reality of our nation, on the other. The most recent change was undertaken at the beginning of in 2004 in line with European Union regulations. The current sample survey is continuous insofar as information is collected during every week of the year and no longer during a single week per quarter. The results are still disseminated on a quarterly basis, except for provincial data which are disseminated annually. A significant feature of the survey is the establishment of new criteria for identifying employed and unemployed individuals, as well as a far-reaching reorganization of the data collection and production process. To make new estimates comparable with estimates referring to previous years, Istat has reconstructed the time series since the fourth quarter of 1992. Data have been updated since 2nd March 2015 due to the statistical back-recalculation of population time series, based on Census results, disseminated the 14th January 2015. Monthly data were recalculated from January 2004 to December 2014; quarterly data from second quarter 2002 to third quarter 2014; annual data from year 2002 to 2013.
