L'impatto intergenerazionale nella valutazione delle politiche: metodologie ed esperienze a confronto
No full textIn Italia, gli scenari economico-finanziario e socio-demografico si caratterizzano ormai da diversi decenni per crescenti difficoltà connesse sia alla sostenibilità economica del sistema di welfare, sia ai continui mutamenti nella struttura della popolazione, sia a una crescente differenziazione sociale. All’interno di questo quadro si riscontra un’elevata iniquità generazionale, con un grado di svantaggio giovanile in aumento. Il sistema sociale italiano, infatti, non risulta essere a misura dei giovani, dato che, oltre a essere fondato su un’attribuzione di responsabilità troppo onerosa alle famiglie, è poco orientato a investire sul loro processo di crescita. In questo contesto in continua evoluzione, caratterizzato da politiche pubbliche spesso squilibrate a sfavore dei giovani, risultano dunque particolarmente interessanti non solo le politiche giovanili, ovvero le misure specificatamente orientate ai giovani, ma anche quegli strumenti atti a contrastare l’iniquità tra le diverse generazioni. Tra i principali, una rilevanza peculiare è assunta dalla valutazione delle politiche. Nel capitolo, dopo una descrizione della crescita della sensibilità verso le giovani generazioni e del concetto di valutazione delle politiche pubbliche, l’attenzione è focalizzata sulle metodologie più diffuse per l’Analisi di impatto della regolazione in chiave intergenerazionale, nonché sui metodi e sulle tecniche che vengono utilizzati per effettuare i confronti e
per decidere in tema di sostenibilità ed equità
Post Enumeration Survey of the Population and Housing Census: trends and future perspectives in Italy
No full textThe present study focuses on the Post Enumeration Survey (in the following PES) of the Population and Housing Census and is part of a wider project concerning the retrieval and analysis of information related to all past Italian PES. In Italy, the most recent PES was carried out in 2001 with the main purpose of estimating and disseminating coverage errors, in order to give a quality measurement of the 14th Population and Housing Census itself. This research aims to examine all Italian Post Enumeration Surveys in detail, from the very first which took place in 1981, with a particular attention to their evolution over time, providing an elaborated analysis of the specific features characterising the stages of the production cycle: survey plannings, decisions on the sampling design, questionnaire building and changing scenary, monitoring phase during data collection
Business Architecture Principles to Foster Industrialisation and Standardisation at the Italian National Institute of Statistics
No full textThe Italian National Institute of Statistics has recently adopted the common vision proposed for the European Statistic al System, envisaging a different production process of the statistical information, based on its standardisation and industrialisation, thus achieving higher efficiency and quality levels together with lower respondent burden. In order to ensure a proper governance of the transition process, a rigorous definition of the “to be” model is needed: for this purpose, Istat has defined a Business Architecture model, clearly stating the characteristics of the statistical value chain, the way the activities in the different domains interact, the general principles informing the whole process, and the infrastructures required so as to ensure its optimality
First proposal of a Business Architecture to refine the model elaborated by the Sponsorship on Standardisation
No full textThis deliverable aims at illustrating a proposal of a Business Architecture (BA) model that can be considered as a starting point to refine the approach produced by the Sponsorship on Standardisation. This renewed model should be shared between the ESSnet on standardisation project members and can represent a first step towards the development of a BA characterised by common frameworks and principles within each Institute/Organisation, so as to work in a more efficient and optimised way
Smart city: la città del futuro?
No full textIl concetto di Smart City è sempre con maggiore enfasi indicato come una soluzione strategica alle problematiche associate al processo di agglomerazione urbana. L’espressione, nata a partire dal 1990 in concomitanza con la liberalizzazione delle telecomunicazioni e lo sviluppo di servizi erogati attraverso Internet, rischia, tuttavia, di restare generica e priva di una definizione condivisa. Questo lavoro contribuisce alla letteratura esistente in due modi: i) fornendo una trattazione sistematica dei problemi di definizione e misurazione relativi alle Smart City e ii) sottolineando le principali problematiche metodologiche
Dealing with smartness at local level: Experiments and Lessons learned
No full textThe smart city issue is becoming central in the social and political debate. From the measurement point of view, in the related literature, however, there are mainly papers focusing
on specific and heterogeneous local projects. Moreover, the outcomes of these papers are mostly rankings based on peculiar and often non standardised methodologies.
In this framework, the present paper carries out a research aimed at i) defining properly the concept of smart city ii) analysing and comparing the existing methodologies to measure a multidimensional concept as smartness at local level is, iii) deriving policy implications in order to improve citizens’ quality of life through the smart city instrument.
A review of the existing theoretical and empirical literature stresses the steady evolution of the meaning of the smart city concept at local level, integrating technological and digital innovation with territorial and social aspects. Starting from a pilot database derived from other related studies, a principal component analysis is run in order to verify whether some methodological innovations can produce improvements in the measurement of Italian Cities smartness with regard to previous experiences. More specifically, findings suggest that cluster analysis is one of the possibilities for investigating a measurement system of smartness in a more robust way. Through this alternative approach to rankings, best practice examples of other cities can be interpreted with regard to their specific profiles, thus making it easier to adopt them in a more effective way, contributing to overcoming the mere distinction between best and worst realities. According to the preliminary conclusions it is also possible to imagine a dynamic framework in which smart cities could transit from a cluster to another as a consequence of policy effectiveness at local level. The possibility to implement this kind of innovative analysis of smartness at local level is obviously
strictly linked to the availability of “smart” data such as administrative or big data, so as to converge towards a measurement system including specific local aspects
Business Architecture model within an official statistical context
No full textSeveral Official Statistical Institutions/Organisations are currently facing commitments towards modernisation and standardisation of their work processes, both from an organisational and a production-related point of view. In this context, this paper aims at illustrating a reference Business Architecture (BA) model that can be used to enhance this relevant evolution phase and represents a first step towards the development of a sharable common framework, so as to work in a more efficient and optimised way
Smart cities: theoretical framework and measurement experiences
No full textThe concept of Smart City is considered increasingly strategic for the solution to the questions related to the irreversible urban agglomeration growth. Created in the nineties in
parallel to the liberalisation process of telecommunications and the development of internet services, this expression risks remaining too generic and without a shared operational
definition. This paper contribute to the existing literature in two ways: i) providing an overall survey of the definition and measurement problems; ii) deriving some methodological suggestions from the analysis, in order to proceed towards a robust and comparable Smart City measurement system. The latter results extremely relevant in the perspective of a dedicated monitoring system implementation
