This year's Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey has been launched. Statistics
Jersey run the survey every year to understand Islanders’ experiences and views,
helping the government to plan and deliver public services.
This year’s survey covers important topics that affect us all such as the cost of living,
wellbeing and health.
4,200 randomly selected households have either received or will receive an invitation
in the post to take part in the online survey.
The survey is easy to complete online on a range of devices, including smartphones,
tablets and laptops. The responses are completely confidential and are only used to
produce grouped statistics.
To make sure there is a good mix of ages responding, the survey asks the person in
the household who has their birthday next, and is aged 16 or over, to complete the
survey.
Chief Statistician Ian Cope commented: "This survey is an invaluable source of
information to help us understand Islanders' experiences and opinions. I'd really
encourage everyone who receives the survey to take part. Take this opportunity to
have your say and help us understand life from your perspective.
"I would like to reassure everyone that all responses to the survey are anonymous
and protected by law."
Anyone selected to take part has until 20 June to complete the survey. Anyone who
receives an invitation to take part who would prefer to complete a paper copy can
request one using the phone number on their letter.
The results of the survey will be published later this year. Previous questionnaires and
reports can be found here: Jersey opinions and lifestyle survey (JOLS) | Statistics Jersey​.​
