How much do we miss our "awesome routine"?
Surely a lot, since
over 7 out of 10 Italians (75%) would definitely want to go back to life as before and more than 8 out of 10 (85%) found it difficult to adapt to the limitations imposed by the pandemic.
In 2013, 35% of our compatriots (almost 18 million Italians) declared that they would immediately change their lives if only they could.
If before the pandemic routine was considered in some way boring and obvious, today it is strongly re-evaluated and desired.
This is what
emerges from the survey "The routine of Italians at the time of the pandemic
", carried out by the research company
Doxa for the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)
which
launches the "Fantastica Routine" campaign.
It is an Italy that oscillates between fear and hope that photographed by the Doxa research for Unhcr: 49% of the interviewees feel worried about the future that is uncertain, while 40% are on the whole calm and confident towards better times than of sure they will arrive;
finally 11% say they are lucky to have certainties and stability.
Moreover, 25% of Italians maintain that in this difficult phase they have discovered new important aspects of their personality;
15% also managed to easily adapt and take advantage of this moment for personal growth.
The pandemic has erased many certainties, affecting in particular some categories of people: most of the interviewees said they feel more solidarity especially towards those who have lost their jobs and economic stability.
The elderly, doctors and health workers, children who have not attended school, refugees and the most vulnerable are at the center of the concerns of the majority of respondents.
Gatherings with family and friends are at the top of the list of habits that are lacking the most, on a par with travel, followed immediately by hugs.
In the last few months of restrictions, surfing the internet has been the favorite activity of Italians, followed by films and TV series.
Almost 9 out of 10 Italians (88%) think that, once the Covid-19 emergency is over, the routine will change completely.
Over half of the interviewees (53%) affirm that, after this experience, they will appreciate more the certainties and the little things in life, without taking anything for granted;
21% also state that they will try to minimize waste.
Finally, 20% say that they will no longer get caught up in the frenzy of work and daily commitments and that they will dedicate more time to loved ones and things that are really important, while 6% say they will dedicate more time to even the most vulnerable people.
