Training
This indicator is the number of professional training courses as compared to the number of
employed aged 15-64, year 1996 (source: elaboration from ASRL, table 25.05.05.02). It’s a
determinant of well-being. The conversion factors are the following.
• 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 Training.
• Firm birth-rate (family III): net firm birth-rate, year 2001 (source: Istat, Indicatori
regionali per la valutazione delle politiche di sviluppo, table IV.20). It represents the
vitality of the business system, thus favoring the conversion of Training.
• 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 Training.
• R&D (family III): research and development on GDP, year 1999 (source: Istat,
Indicatori regionali per la valutazione delle politiche di sviluppo, table III.12). Like
the previous conversion factor, R&D is supposed to improve the effectiveness of
training activities.
• Juvenile delinquency (family III): minors denounced, year 1997 (source: Istat,
Demos-Sistema di indicatori sociali, table 13). It hampers Training.
