As part of forthcoming publications, I collect data that might interesting in association with other data.

On 2022-07-18 the Italian business newspaper published an article that reminded me of a book I read few years ago, "Peoplequake" (you can read here a couple of articles that I posted in Italian in 2017 and 2018).

The population of Italy, along with Japan, is old and getting older, and most commentators focus on the health system impacts.

In reality, coupled with a contraction of births well below the "replacement level" (i.e. to keep population steady), this implies the need to rethinksomething more than just the health system.

For the time being, see article in Italian referencing part of the data

As for the data:

• it is the same information contained within the article, i.e. at the county ("provincia") level
• to ease clustering analysis and comparison with other data that usually are by region or aggregation of regions within Italy, added clustering by Region/Area from ISTAT, the National Statistics Bureau of Italy

More information about other indicators at the county level will be gradually added.
