This publication presents OECD's comprehensive review of rural policy in Italy. On average, rural regions in Italy have some of the highest GDP per capita among the OECD countries, yet unexploited potential remains. This analysis of rural Italy reveals heterogeneous economic conditions, an increasing elderly population and a diminished focus on environmental concerns. This suggests the need for a broader rural policy approach that reflects the changing demands upon rural resources and that considers other aspects of rurality including health, education and quality of life.--Publisher's description

The relationship between the recent decline in marriage rates in Italy & female educational level & employment opportunities is examined based on data collected in a 1983 survey conducted by the National Statistics Instit (N unspecified). Findings indicate that both a high level of education & a long time devoted to training discourage marriage & childbirth among women. Further, unlike other European countries, cohabitation is not common in Italy. Existing problems in the labor & housing markets are also contributing to discourage marriage. 6 Tables, 2 Figures, 1 Appendix, 33 References. M. Wagner

The Italian Green Party took part in center-Left governments from 1996 to 2001. In this period, their ministerial posts changed, as did the strategies for action in the coalition. Green influence upon state policies increased, above all in the field of environmental protection. However, participation in the government did not broaden the Greens electoral support, which reached minimum levels in 1999. Owing to the fragile nature of the political & organizational basis of the Green Federation, division & political divergences arose within the party. As a result, during the last five years, the Federation has seen various moments of crisis that have led the Greens to change their leadership & to implement major transformations in their organization & lines of policy. After their defeat in the 1999 European elections, a radical re-foundation of the party was carried out in 2000. 6 Tables, 8 References. Adapted from the source document.

In 2003, support for the US invasion of Iraq figured highly in Italian politics, & government attitudes toward the European Union were important too. The Italian half year of EU presidency was devoted to achieving a constitutional treaty. Government-magistrate conflict was a key domestic event, particularly in connection with Prime Minister Berlusconi's & comrades' corruption trials. Fascism was definitively & significantly renounced as an "absolute devil" by the Alleanza Nazionale, while Berlusconi's media empire drew the attention of the government in the form of communication market regulation. An overview of referenda & local elections is provided, & two notable social events are mentioned. 3 Tables. J. Zendejas
