Ue, the Romans among the least satisfied with their city – Il Sole 24 Ore

Lack of labor and safety, unaffordable housing, transport, hospitals and public administration inefficient. These are the elements that make the citizens of Rome among the least satisfied in Europe. According to a Eurostat study that in 2015 gathered the opinions of the residents of 79 European cities, the eternal city is the second to last among EU capitals for approval by its
inhabitants. Only 80% is satisfied, worse just makes Athens (71%). But among the 79 urban centers surveyed (which are also included 28 capital) bringing up the rear of all is Palermo, and Naples is third last before Athens.

 

Leading the standings are the northern European capitals, with Vilnius (98%) in the lead followed by Stockholm and Copenhagen (both 97%). To investigate the causes of dissatisfaction Roman must be away from work and home. “People who live in cities with a dynamic labor market often have great difficulties in finding adequate housing at reasonable prices” and vice versa, notes the European statistical agency, “this situation has not been observed in all the cities.” In Rome, for example, only a small part of the population believes it is easier to find a job and a house with affordable costs. Security is another major concern of the Romans, who mostly do not feel protected in their own city. They are, however, especially the public transport to make the inhabitants of the least satisfied in Europe. Rome does record the lowest rate Popularity (30%) between the EU capitals, and with regard to air quality
the proportion is just over 30 percentage points. If one takes a look at the health system does not improve the picture much: Rome is among the seven EU capitals where less than 50% of the public is satisfied with the hospitals and doctors. Italy then holds the European record of the lowest approval ratings to the government, and even in this case Roma is the game. Along with Palermo (19%) and Naples (22%), in the Eternal City (27%) less than a third of citizens considers the administrative services also help improve efficiency.
