In 1926, he was appointed President of the [[National Institute of Statistics (Italy)|Central Institute of Statistics]] in Rome. This he organised as a single centre for Italian statistical services. He was a close intimate of Mussolini throughout the 20s. He resigned from his position within the institute in 1932.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.umass.edu/wsp/resources/tales/gini.html|title=Tales of Statisticians {{!}} Corrado Gini|website=www.umass.edu|access-date=2018-08-21|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180821093826/https://www.umass.edu/wsp/resources/tales/gini.html|archive-date=2018-08-21|url-status=dead}}</ref>

In 1927 he published a treatise entitled ''The Scientific Basis of Fascism''.<ref>''The Scientific Basis of Fascism,'' [[Political Science Quarterly]] Vol.42, No 1, March 1927 pp. 99-115.</ref>

In 1929, Gini founded the Italian Committee for the Study of Population Problems (''Comitato italiano per lo studio dei problemi della popolazione) '' which, two years later, organised the first Population Congress in Rome.

A eugenicist apart from being a demographer, Gini led an expedition  to survey Polish populations, among them the  [[Karaite Judaism|Karaites]]. Gini was throughout the 20s a supporter of fascism, and expressed his hope that Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy would emerge as victors in WW2. However, he never supported any measure of exclusion of the Jews.<ref>Mikhail Kizilov,  [https://books.google.com/books?id=hGILHIgEl7cC&pg=PA281&lpg=PA281 ''The Karaites of Galicia: An Ethnoreligious Minority Among the Ashkenazim, the Turks, and the Slavs, 1772-1945,''] BRILL, 2009 pp.278ff.</ref><ref>Riccardo Calimani, [https://books.google.com/books?id=kMb_CAAAQBAJ&pg=PT583  ''Storia degli ebrei italiani,''] vol.3, Mondadori 2015 p.583.
