BES Report

The report on equitable and sustainable well-being (Bes) is published every year together with the updated set of indicators.

It is not just an editorial product but a line of research, a process that takes the multidimensionality of well-being as a starting point and, through the analysis of a wide set of indicators, describes in a comprehensive way the quality of life in Italy.

Organised in 12 chapters, each corresponding to one well-being domain, the publication also proposes an initial summary chapter, which, in the 2023 Report, focuses on a review of recent trends in well-being, paying particular attention to territorial disparities, differences by gender and level of education, and comparison with Europe.

Every annual report issued so far is accompanied by a statistical annex with all the available indicators and disaggregations.
