The volume "Italian society in the weather of the new millennium" is the result of long work by various groups and individual researchers from IRPPS, coordinated by Claudia Pennacchiotti and Sandro Turcio.

The nine essays that make up the volume aim to provide analyzes and research results that describe the many facets of the Italian social crisis in the last quarter of a century, covering many of the Institute's research areas, from demography to the study of social policies, from the analysis of cultural phenomena to investigations into the world of education.

The monograph is available in full version on the IRPPS website.
