Overview
- Researchers map 13–24 year‑olds into four groups: 34% “moderati in transizione,” 25% “irrequieti in bilico,” 24% “sfiduciati sotto pressione,” and 17% “fiduciosi propositivi.”
- The report highlights a large middle with fragile equilibrium and singles out ages 17–19 as especially exposed to fatigue and overload.
- Schools emerge as decisive in shaping trajectories yet are often experienced as spaces of evaluation and pressure.
- Participation in sport, arts and volunteering shows a strong protective effect on mental health, according to the study.
- Presented in Rome with government and parliamentary education figures, the initiative outlines five non‑binding lines: rebuild stable educational relationships, turn orientation into continuous guidance, improve school‑to‑work transitions, integrate accessible psychological support in education, and expand real spaces for youth participation.
