Italians pessimistic about their financial situation and the country. Just over 3 out of 10 Italians feel that their current financial situation has worsened in the last year, a little more for women.

38% of those who experience an aggravation are women over 59 years of age and with an average educational qualification. Only around 1 in 10 Italians believe it is probable that in the next 5 years the entire country will enjoy a period of constant well-being. Almost 5 in 10 think that unemployment and the economic crisis will increase in next 12 months.
