IneQuality between reality and Perception

This is the first comprehensive study of perceptions of inequality in Italy!

The IneqPer project (2023–2025) investigates:

Whether, and to what extent, people perceive inequalities related to socio-economic positions, gender, and immigration status as a relevant societal issue.

How people perceive their own position in society in relation to such inequalities.

Which individual and contextual factors correlate to people’s perceptions of inequality.

We aim to:

1.     Develop a survey for a representative sample of the Italian adult population.

2.     Design and implement survey experiments that assess social (mis) perceptions and test how they can be challenged.

3.     Analyse the main determinants
