Lack of satisfaction is uniform throughout the country: Centre (53%), North and South and Islands (each 51%).

7 in 10 Italians believe that Italian policies to support families and parenting are inferior in Italy compared to average European policies.

Boomers and Generation X (each at 56%) are the most critical generations, while younger generations, i.e. those who are still of childbearing age, are less negative on

average: Millennials (47%) and Generation Z (42%).

It is still very common for Generation Z to want to have children (55% of those who don’t have children), but it is generally a medium-term plan, i.e. not in the next 5

years (46%), partly for financial reasons.
