Study title

The survey "Aspects of Daily Life" is carried out by ISTAT and it is aimed to collect key information about the daily life of individuals and households on an annual basis. This information are focused on the habits, opinions, and attitudes of citizens regarding the main issues related to their social and family life. The sample interviewed annually is about 20,000 families, for a total of about 50,000 individuals. Given the wealth of information collected through the survey, UniData - Bicocca Data Archive has created a longitudinal dataset able to support transversal analysis across the years. The aim is to provide directly accessible information on change concerning the habits and the main aspects that characterize the daily life of Italians. Therefore, the longitudinal dataset represents a very important resource for the development of a diachronic approach to the study of Italian society. This dataset, in particular, includes information relating to the 2013-2016 period. The original data provided by Istat have been suitably selected and harmonized in order to create a longitudinal database that, on an annual basis, would allow a comparison over time. The dataset contains information relating to a total of 153,813 individuals, collected in 582 variables. The information has been organised in the following thematic sections: - Socio-demographic - Education and training - Working time - Area of residence - Housing - Possession of goods - Media - Internet - Insurance - Use of services - Health - Food consumption - Sport - Mobility - Environment - Cultural consumption - Participation - Social relations - Trust - Satisfaction For more information on the construction of the longitudinal dataset, the data harmonisation process and other methodological issues, please refer to the attached documents.
