Riassunto

Come mostrano i precedenti capitoli di questo volume, che riflettono a loro volta una folta letteratura [1–6], la partecipazione culturale avrebbe ricadute positive molto importanti sul benessere e la percezione dello stato di salute. Il presente approfondimento risponde all’esigenza di valutare questa relazione anche su sottogruppi di popolazione nelle loro segmentazioni tipiche, fra cui la più suggestiva è quella di genere. Lo studio ambientato nel 2009 nella città di Milano, descritto al capitolo 16, si è prestato particolarmente all’approfondimento di questa tematica, grazie alle tradizioni civili e culturali della città. Il focus di questo capitolo è quello di valutare la ricaduta sul benessere di genere delle attività di tempo libero, in particolare di quelle culturali, cogliendone le evidenze empiriche e offrendo alcune spiegazioni sulle differenze tra genere maschile e femminile.
