“A country under stress, or better, deeply bruised by a continuing crisis.” With these words CENSIS photographer Italy in its 47th annual report on the social situation of the country, presented today in Rome. The families are more responsive to promotions and reduce food expenses. The fifties are frightened by the loss of jobs, while more and more young people are emigrating. The manufacturing base is transformed: the trade stands with immigrants and street vendors, while the industrial districts are increasingly looking beyond the Alps
down food expenses
From the early 2000s to today, fell by 6.7% the cost of food, 15% for those abbiagliamento and footwear 8 % furniture and home maintenance, 19% in transport. Conversely, some expenses which are grown for families is almost impossible to make the economy: households and house maintenance (+6.3%) and medical insurance (+19%). It is not surprising, therefore, that in the latter part of 2013, on a sample of 1,200 households, 69% reported a decrease, and a reduced ability to spend (29% remained the same and 2% improved).
More attention to promotions
63% of households choose foods taking greater account of the cheaper price. 76% hunts promotions (the European average is 43%).

A worry families, in 72.8% of cases the onset of a sudden expense (illness or repairs in your home and car), but also taxes (24.3%) and bills (22.6% .)
commerce becomes more ethnic shops, street vendors and online
The recession has had a 360-degree view of the business world: since 2009 they have gone out of business over 1.6 millions of companies. The survivors have started to become reality. In small business, the food industry had 129 thousand exercises in 2008. Plummeted to 121 thousand in 2009, are now risen to 124. Thanks largely to the development of bakeries, small shops, fruit and vegetable stores and ethnic products (in the retail business since 2009 the number of foreigners grew by 21%). Perhaps to save on rent, in the last 3 years have increased by 8% owners who are dedicated to the activity peddler. We are looking for then new sales channels, with online operators increased by 20% since 2009.
Between 2009 and 2012, manufacturing firms operating in 55 of the most important historical and consolidated industrial districts have experienced a decline of 3 8%, with reality as to Biella wool or footwear of Trani-Barletta, where the reduction of the companies was close to 20%. The companies that survive have a greater and greater tendency to seek their markets abroad, with export growth of 2.2% in the first quarter of 2013. In 78% of cases we tried to get out of stagnation with the invention of new products or process innovations (75%). 58% of changes were made to senior management. The fifties fear unemployment, young people emigrate
With an unemployment rate that comes dangerously close to 13%, it is not surprising that increases the uncertainty in the workplace. 24.4% of Italians fear the worsening of their professional conditions, 14.3% see the possibility of a reduction in income and 14% even loss of job (a figure that rises to 17.1% between those with between 45 and 54 years). Hence the result that increasingly seek new opportunities abroad. In the last decade who has transferred his residence across the border has doubled from 50 thousand in 2002 to 106 thousand in 2012 (+28.8% between 2011 and 2012).
