The Living in Wales survey is the main general source of statistical information about households in Wales. It is a continuous survey of households in Wales which is commissioned by the Welsh Assembly Government. The Data Unit ~ Wales manages it on their behalf.
The key points from the latest release are:
- Social attitudes by age. In 2007, respondents aged 70 and over were more than three times as likely to either 'strongly agree' or 'tend to agree' with the statement to be truly Welsh, you have to be white than those respondents aged 16 to 29.
- Social attitudes by sex. In 2007, females were more likely than males to have 'no opinion' on every statement listed (see next page for the statements), except it would not matter to me if one of my close relatives married someone from a different ethnic background.
- Social attitudes by economic status. Respondents living in 'workless households' in 2007 were more likely to 'strongly disagree' with the statement on the whole, Muslims who live in Wales make a positive contribution to society than those respondents living in 'working households'.
- Comparing social attitudes across years. Respondents' attitudes to the social attitudes' statements remained similar across 2005, 2006 and 2007.
