The States of Jersey Statistics Unit has today (29
th March) released the results of the first Jersey Annual Social Survey.
JASS was launched in 2005 to provide the means to collect and analyse detailed information on a wide range of social issues on an annual basis. This is an important step forward in the provision of official social statistics about Jersey as it allows everyone in the Island to have a better understanding of social issues and for policy to be made from a more informed standpoint.
The survey has a set of core questions covering demographics, economic activity and household structure to ensure that change in key censuses variables can be monitored annually, along with questions on a range of different topics. The topics covered in 2005 include leisure activity, health and lifestyle, pension provision, policing, transport and quality of public services. The findings for each topic are reported in the individual chapters in the report.
