The growth that is not there: depopulation and aging in earthquake areas

Abstract

The study examines “The growth that is not there: depopulation and aging in earthquake areas”, reconstructing the problem and the main evidence developed in the text. Among the most important changes in the lifestyle of residents from the loss of homes and/or work there is the transfer of habitual residence. In investigating the changes following these events, part of scientific research has also been devoted to the study and effect of possible factors of pre-existing vulnerabilities in the territories and populations affected by natural disasters (Ambrosetti and Petrillo, 2016). PP65+ IIv = display 100 (2) PP0−14 PP65+ %PP65+ = display 100 (3) PP Natural inscriptions refer to the demographic balance of Istat. If they exclude L’Aquila and Montorio al Vomano, they are also common with a degree of urbanization equal to the ‘uncharly populated’, according to the Eurostat definition and are defined rural municipalities. The increase in the number of elders in proportion to young people and the increase in anagraphic inscriptions, mainly of foreigners, are phenomena on which politics cannot remain “healthy”.
