Give Your Thoughts on Island Life

Three thousand households will be given the chance to give their thoughts about living on an island as part of the Social Attitudes Survey 2024.

Feedback from residents on important issues such as employment, public services, healthcare, and safety and crime helps to shape Government policies for the future. 

Survey results are anonymized views which are used to assess Government initiatives and to better understand public opinion.

This year the structure of the survey has evolved to align with European Social Survey for greater comparison with other jurisdictions. 

Island Life

Participation is by invitation only and letters will be sent to a random selection of 3,000 households.

Completing the questionnaire is voluntary for one resident from each household.

Participants should be 15 years old or over and have the birthday closest to the date on which the household’s letter was received. 

The survey closes at midnight September 6.

Survey Access

There are four ways to access the questionnaire:

  • Online – a web address will be included in the letter.
  • Call 685742 or email statistics@gov.im to request a paper copy of the questionnaire, to arrange an appointment for a phone interview, or to arrange face to face help with a team member from Statistics Isle of Man.

More details, including the report from the 2019 Social Attitudes Survey, are available at gov.im/socialattitudes.
