Italians' confidence in their
institutions tumbled due to the economic crisis, with as few as
15% saying they had faith in the national government in 2013
compared to 30% in 2007, the Organisation for Economic
Cooperation and Development (OECD) said Wednesday.
Italians were also feeling less satisfaction with their
lives in general during the recession years, with only 40% last
year claiming they felt "very satisfied" compared with 58% in
2007, according to the latest figures in the Paris-based OECD's
Better Life Index.
On average, Italian women were less satisfied in 2013 with
their lives than men, with an average of 5.9 in 10 women saying
they were satisfied compared with 6.2 in 10 men.
An average of 62% of Italian women said they were satisfied
with their health compared to 68% of Italian men, according to
the OECD report.
