People living in close geographic areas can experience different quality of life standards. This depends on many factors among which the performance of local welfare systems may play a relevant role. In this paper, we examine Italian official statistics in order to identify available information on local social protection activities. The main objective is to assess if it is possible to convey a complete view of the level and quality of social protection services delivered by local actors. Furthermore, we present some analysis of municipalities’ social expenditure at Nuts 2 and 3 levels to show evidence of disparities among territories.

Abstract
People living in close geographic areas can experience different quality of life standards. This depends on many factors among which the performance of local welfare systems may play a relevant role. In this paper, we examine Italian official statistics in order to identify available information on local social protection activities. The main objective is to assess if it is possible to convey a complete view of the level and quality of social protection services delivered by local actors. Furthermore, we present some analysis of municipalities’ social expenditure at Nuts 2 and 3 levels to show evidence of disparities among territories.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
