​The Jersey Annual Social Survey (JASS) provides the means to collect and analyse detailed information on a wide range of social issues on an annual basis. It provides official social statistics about Jersey, allowing everyone in the Island to have a better understanding of social issues and for policy to be made from a more informed standpoint.

Topics covered in the 2008 edition include:

• demographics
• registration cards
• housing (energy use, accommodation agreements and deposits)
• travel within Jersey
• parking
• public services
• Jersey-UK ferry route
• fire and rescue service
• health (height and weight, physical activity, smoking, drinking, healthy eating)
• volunteering
• recycling
• spending off-Island
• social policy (parental leave, ideal number of children)
• pensions
• long-term care
