Webinar aims
This presentation aims to review emerging family changes in Italy (cohabitations, non-marital childbearing, union dissolutions, multipartner fertility, grey divorces) and discuss how they can be detected and studied through official statistics. The seminar highlights the challenges faced by statistical offices in documenting trends and understanding causes of contemporary revolutionary family changes in Italy, a country all too often caricatured as a “traditional” country.
