Providing users with the tools to deepen
knowledge of Italy's social, economic and
environmental phenomena at various levels
of geographical detail. This is the mission
Istat is pursuing through accurate analyses
and investigations.

Divided into 16 themes, Italy in figures synthetically describes the main
economic, demographic, social and territorial aspects of Italy as well
as some basic habits and behaviours of its population.

In-depth sections, glossaries and brief methodological notes allow
even a non-expert public to take advantage of the information wealth.

Distributed to the international and domestic institutions, media and
opinion leaders, a free copy may be obtained from Istat Statistical
Information Centres in any region or autonomous province or upon
request to the Dissemination and Communication of Statistical
Information Directorate.

Alternatively, users may download its full version or browse each
chapter from the website homepage www.istat.it, where all data
produced by our Institute are available.

key points

Induced abortion: there has been a sharp reduction since Law n°
194/78 made induced abortions legal in Italy. 1982 and 1983 were
the peak years, with a number of interventions exceeding
230,000 per year and an abortion rate of 16.7 and 16.4 respecti-
vely per 1,000 resident women aged 15-49. From that moment
on, the number of induced abortions and the abortion rate pro-
gressively reduced to 8 per 1,000

Body Mass Index (BMI): determined dividing the body weight in
kilograms by the squared height in meters. A BMI under 18.5 is
considered underweight, one of 18.5-24.99 is considered a
healthy weight, one of 25-29.99 is overweight and one of 30 or
more is obese

EDUCATION

The reform of the university system: as stated in the ministry
decree n° 509/1999 (and Law n° 270/2004), academic courses, star-
ting from 2001/2002 are organised in two consecutive cycles: the first
three-year cycle (first level degree to obtain the new university
degree) and the second two-year cycle (second level degree, for spe-
cialistic degree).
The “unique” formula courses (equivalent degree to specialist
degree only upon course completion): five-year courses for architec-
ture, civil engineering, pharmacy, dentistry, veterinary science and
law; the medicine course is six years. Other courses of the old
system still persist in this new system (degree and university degree)

Gross Domestic Product at market prices (GDP): final result of
the production activity of resident units. GDP is the sum of final
uses of goods and services (domestic consumption and gross
capital formation) plus exports and less imports of goods and
services

Value added at basic prices: difference between total production
and intermediate consumption used in production, net of taxes
and gross of subsidies on products

Annual working units (AWUs): are calculated by converting into
full-time units all work positions held by each person employed
during the reference period

ECONOMY

Euro area: since 1 January 2001 is constitu-
ted by Austria, Belgium, Finland, France,
Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg,
Netherlands, Portugal and Spain; Slovenia
joined on 1 January 2007; Cyprus and Malta
on 1 January 2008, Slovakia on 1 January
2009 and Estonia on 1 January 2011

European Union: is constituted by 27
Countries, the 17 Euro Countries plus
Bulgaria, Denmark, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland,
UK, Czech Republic, Romania, Sweden, and
Hungary

Purchasing power parities: indicator that eli-
minates differences in price levels between
countries allowing volume comparisons of GDP

PRICES

Output prices index: refers to changes in
time of prices applied by industrial enterpri-
ses, excluding construction companies

Consumer prices index: measures the
variation in time of price of a “basket” of
goods and services. Istat calculates the
following three consumer price indices:

■

consumer price index for the whole
nation (NIC), based on the entire present
population’s consumptions

■

consumer price index for blue and white-
collar workers households (FOI) based
on consumptions of households whose
reference person is an employee

■

harmonised index of consumer prices
(HICP), which refers to households’
consumption of goods and services and
gives comparable measures of inflation at
the European level

Goods and services by purchase frequency:

■

high: food and beverages, tobaccos, rent,
fuels

■

medium: clothing, electricity, water, and
waste disposal rates, medicines, books

■

low: household appliances, transport
means, audiovisual, photographic and
computer equipment

Providing users with the tools to deepen
knowledge of Italy's social, economic and
environmental phenomena at various levels
of geographical detail. This is the mission
Istat is pursuing through accurate analyses
and investigations.

Divided into 16 themes, Italy in figures synthetically describes the main
economic, demographic, social and territorial aspects of Italy as well
as some basic habits and behaviours of its population.

In-depth sections, glossaries and brief methodological notes allow
even a non-expert public to take advantage of the information wealth.

Distributed to the international and domestic institutions, media and
opinion leaders, a free copy may be obtained from Istat Statistical
Information Centres in any region or autonomous province or upon
request to the Dissemination and Communication of Statistical
Information Directorate.

Alternatively, users may download its full version or browse each
chapter from the website homepage www.istat.it, where all data
produced by our Institute are available.
