Abstract
In Italy, from July 2016 to December 31st 2017, 6,712 same-sex civil unions have been constituted (2,336 in the second half of 2016 and 4,376 in 2017). Couples of men are prevalent (4,682 unions, equal to 69.8% of the total).
Civil unions are more frequent in the cities: 35.4% of them occurred in the 14 metropolitan cities, almost a quarter has been constituted in Milan, Rome or Turin.
Considering both the same-sex civil unions constituted in Italy and the registration of same-sex civil unions constituted abroad, at January 1st 2018 the resident individuals who have a same sex civil partner amount to about 13.3 thousand, 0.02% of the resident population (68.3% are male).
The mean age of male same sex civil partners is 49.5 years for males and 45.9 years for females; they live mainly in the Northern regions (56.8%) and in the Centre (31.5%).
The aim of this study is to analyse the demographic characteristics of the resident population who have a same sex civil partner.
