Cagliari is the province where you live best in Sardinia but it slips from the top ten to twentieth place in Italy. This is what emerges from the 32nd edition of the historic survey on the Quality of life in the Italian provinces, published today by Il Sole 24 Ore.
In absolute first place is Trieste. Milan returns to the podium, which in 2020 suffered heavily from the effects of Covid, and Trento remains solid in third place.
Returning to the island, after the capital ( which last year was in ninth place ) there is the province of Sassari, in 64th place (-2), followed at a short distance by Nuoro (66th, -3) and Oristano ( 67th as in 2020). Only the province of South Sardinia rises in the ranking, 76th (+11). For the first time this year the index of the "Quality of life of women" was also presented, which sees Cagliari in 15th place in the national ranking led by Treviso.
The capital stands out in the "Life expectancy at birth", third in Italy with 85.9 years, while in the "gender employment gap", it is second with 9.2% (difference with respect to the employment rate of men).
In the "Gap in average salary" ranking, ie the percentage difference on the annual male salary of employees, Oristano is second in Italy with 24.6%. The metropolitan city of Cagliari also stands out for the number of female municipal administrators: it is second in Italy with 42%, behind only Ravenna.
THE REPORT - Like every year, the survey takes a picture of the country through 90 statistical indicators on a provincial basis divided into six areas: wealth and consumption, business and work, demography, society and health, environment and services, culture and leisure.
Among these, there are 28 parameters updated to 2021 and a dozen "synthetic indexes", which in turn aggregate more parameters: this year the survey allows us to focus in particular on how the post-pandemic recovery is going - thanks to a analysis carried out on 20 of the 90 indicators, for which the variation compared to the previous year was also considered - and which are the territorial, gender and generational gaps that still persist, analyzed through the indices of the Quality of life of children, young people and the elderly, which reward the provinces with the best life context by age group, and the index of the quality of life of women which measures the geography of gender gaps.
