ROME (ITALPRESS) – Despite the difficult year, Italians are satisfied with their personal life but for 1 in 3 families the economic situation has worsened.

Signs of criticality emerge for the family economic situation: the share of families declaring a worsening compared to 2019 rises from 25.7% to 29.1%. 44.3% people who declare high satisfaction with their life . Compared to previous years, in general the growth in satisfaction concerned the employed, with the exception of self-employed workers. At the territorial level, the North has the highest share of those who declare a vote between 8 and 10 with respect to life satisfaction (48.3%), the Center an intermediate share (42.7%) and the South the smaller share (39.8%). In 2020, 89.7% of people aged 14 and over expressed a positive opinion. Only a residual share, 1.5%, judges this type of relationship not at all satisfactory. The initial impact of the pandemic does not affect health satisfaction. 81.6% of individuals aged 14 and over express a positive opinion on their state of health (very or fairly satisfied). Overall, satisfaction with this aspect of life decreases with increasing age and reaches its lowest in the class of 75 and over (56.9%).
