Abstract: The paper analyses several indicators (political participation, trade union organizations, ecological associations, voluntary and cultural activities) of active citizenship in Italy, focusing on the profiles of the activists in relation to wellbeing and gender differences. A sample of around 49,000 individuals and 19,000 families from the survey “Aspect of daily life”, collected by the Italian National Institute of Statistics in 2010 was used for the analysis. We apply multivariate statistical methods (correspondence analysis, fuzzy clustering, multidimensional scaling and regression models) to describe the sample and detect the predictors of satisfaction and trust in people.
