Category: Welfare

This thematic area includes research, surveys and analyses at a local, national and European level, on aspects relating to the well-being and social vulnerability of the population, and on the methods of intervention of the various welfare systems, in terms of policies and services.

From a methodological point of view, the proposed analyses are designed both through quantitative methods (data analysis, surveys) and qualitative methods (interviews, discussion groups and focus groups, analysis of existing documentation).

The living conditions of the different population groups are influenced by several aspects (health, economic, relational and housing conditions), and require increasingly integrated responses in terms of policies and services. The area intends to analyze these phenomena from a multi-dimensional perspective taking into account the role of social determinants, to offer evidence-based information useful for the bargaining activity of trade unions and for improving the level of well-being of citizens as a whole.

The topics under study are:

Well-being in its multi-dimensional declination;
Health, economic, relational, housing conditions;
Vulnerability and social needs of citizens;
Health, social, welfare policies and services.
