The course enables students to acquire knowledge on the methods of measuring and quantifying socio-demographic phenomena as a knowledge tool to support decision-making, to define and interpret subjective and objective indicators, and to know how to carry out all the phases of a quantitative survey.
The exercises will be carried out on real data with the aid of ad hoc statistical software (I-ranker, google form,..) and will enable students to apply the knowledge acquired. During the course, the methodologies adopted in surveys carried out by ISTAT or other bodies producing official statistics will be analysed.
