Using data from the survey on “Social Condition and Integration of Foreign Citizens” collected by the Italian National Institute of Statistics (ISTAT) in 2011–2012, the aim of this paper is to study immigrants’ subjective well-being in Italy, evaluating the main individual factors associated with self-reported life satisfaction among first-generation immigrants regularly residing in Italy. The multivariate analysis is based on ordinary least squares regression (OLS) and includes various kinds of factors: demographic, human capital, immigration, transnationalism and sense of belonging variables. We found that demographic and human capital variables have a strong positive impact on life satisfaction. In addition, country of origin and immigration variables also have an impact on life satisfaction. Transnationalism and gender attitudes are positively associated with life satisfaction. Our study concludes that, despite several shortcomings, the “Southern European model of immigration” does not hamper immigrants’ self-reported life satisfaction.

与意大利移民主观幸福感相关的主要因素是什么？来自自我报告的生活满意度的证据

本文使用意大利国家统计局 (ISTAT) 2011-2012 年收集的“外国公民的社会状况和融入”调查数据，旨在研究移民在意大利的主观幸福感，评估常居住在意大利的第一代移民中与自我报告的生活满意度相关的主要个人因素。多元分析基于普通最小二乘回归 (OLS)，包括各种因素：人口统计、人力资本、移民、跨国主义和归属感变量。我们发现人口和人力资本变量对生活满意度有很强的积极影响。此外，原籍国和移民变量也对生活满意度产生影响。跨国主义和性别态度与生活满意度呈正相关。我们的研究得出的结论是，尽管存在一些缺陷，“南欧移民模式”并未妨碍移民自我报告的生活满意度。
