Abstract

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 first wave of the survey engaged members aged 16 or over belonging to 4900 families, selected in over 250 Italian municipalities. The participants' biography from their birth to the time of the interview was reconstructed, collecting retrospective information on themes such as: - residential mobility - schooling - work career - forms of family cohabitation and marriage - birth of children In addition, prospective information was collected on topics of interest such as: - health - quality of life - family resources - Internet use - political participation For a proper use of the weights, please refer to the relevant documentation, available here.
