• Juvenile delinquency (family III): minors denounced, year 1997 (source: Istat,
Demos-Sistema di indicatori sociali, table 13). It hampers education.
• Social deterioration (family III): percentage of people over 14 perceiving social
deterioration (source: ASRL, table 57.06.03). It hampers the conversion of education.
• Students vs. teacher (family III): number of students for teacher, year 1998-99
(source: Istat, Indagine scuola secondaria, 2002). The higher the ratio, the more
difficult the conversion of the indicator of education.

Cultural and Recreational Expenses
This indicator, determinant of well-being, is a proxy of education and consists in the
percentage of cultural and recreational domestic consumption as to total domestic consumption,
year 1999 (source: Istat, Indicatori regionali per la valutazione delle politiche di sviluppo, table
II.06). The conversion factors are the following.
• Books (family I): people over 6 who have read at least a book in the last 12 months,
year 2000 (source: ASRL, table 31.02.02). The books are supposed to be favorable.
• Family with PC (family III): number of families owning a PC, year 2000 (source:
ASRL, table 57.01.09). This indicator favors the conversion of Cultural and
Recreational Expenses.
• Non repeating students (family I): percentage of non-repeating students, year 1998-
99 (source: Istat, Indagine scuola secondaria 2002). This personal conversion factor
is supposed to favor education.
• Social deterioration (family III): percentage of people over 14 perceiving social
deterioration (source: ASRL, table 57.06.03). It hampers the conversion of education.
