Le disuguaglianze socio-economiche nei consumi alimentari in Italia: evoluzioni strutturali, trend e stili di vita

Abstract

The objective of this paper is to present a picture of the evolution of food consumption in Italy, attempting to highlight the socio-economic factors that underlie the structural change in consumption and lifestyle of families. The main results, based on a survey conducted in 2021, show how the hypotheses according to which disadvantaged socio-economic and cultural conditions are linked, on the one hand, to more risky consumption habits and, on the other, to a more limited propensity to attribute relevance to choice criteria related to food safety or to environmental and political dimensions, do not seem to find support.
