The phenomenon - Stereotypes
With the aim to give some information on the evolution of social relations
between men and women, and the impact of women's stereotypes over time
ISTAT collect data on gender stereotypes and stereotypes towards violence
against women among the adult population and the student population.
Individuals 18-74 years old were interviewed using computer assisted
telephone interviews (CATI) with an ad hoc module in the Labour Force Survey
in 2018, while students 11-19 years old will be interviewed by computer
assisted self-interview technique (CASI) in 2020. The integrated system
provides also data on surveys previously carried out by ISTAT which included
some questions on gender stereotypes, namely Time use survey 2013-2014
and Survey on gender stereotypes and discrimination in 2011. ISTAT is also
working on a “sentiment analyses” with the use of big data, as the twitter’s text

collections. A survey on services offered by specialized centres (280) to victims
of violence was carried out in 2018 and is currently ongoing for its second
edition. In 2018 there was also a survey on services offered to victims of
