Italian Lives (ITA.LI) is a quantitative and qualitative longitudinal survey carried out by the Department of Sociology and Social Research of the University of Milan-Bicocca. The survey is aimed at building a database on social change in Italy offering high-quality data to researchers working in several disciplinary fields.

 

The longitudinal qualitative survey was carried out in 3 waves at regular intervals between October 2019 and July 2022. In total, 306 semi-narrative interviews were carried out with young people aged between 22 and 29, resident in Italy. The work aimed to contribute to the study of the life trajectories of young women and men who face the transition to adulthood, with the aim of investigating the multiple meanings of being young in Italy today.

The thematic areas investigated were:

  • education
  • relationships (family, friendship, sentimental)
  • parenting
  • work
  • mobility (geographical and social)
  • use of social media and technology
  • relationship with politics and religion
  • well-being and covid-19.

 

The first wave, conducted from October 1, 2019 to June 30, 2020, collected 114 interviews. For information on other waves:
