Notebook 64 of the National Centre reports the results of a sample survey on the well-being of pre-adolescents and adolescents promoted by the Ministry of Labour and Social Policies with the collaboration of the National Centre.

The research had several objectives: to integrate current knowledge on the living conditions of pre-adolescents and adolescents; to gather information that is useful for suggesting ways of innovating project activities aimed at the pre-adolescent and adolescent age group; to acquire information and knowledge to integrate the map of well-being indicators at national and local levels; to promote the right of minors to participate and be heard, as provided for in the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Overall, about 200 primary and secondary schools were involved in the territory covered by the fifteen riservatarie cities (Turin, Milan, Venice, Genoa, Bologna, Florence, Rome, Naples, Bari, Taranto, Brindisi, Reggio Calabria, Catania, Palermo, Cagliari) with a total of over 11,000 students.
