The Life in the UK index is a three-year demonstrator project designed to measure the collective wellbeing of the people of the UK, looking at social, economic, environmental, and democratic aspects of life.
This publication – produced with Ipsos - outlines scores for collective, social, economic, environmental and democratic wellbeing in Northern Ireland. The research is based on a representative survey of 6941 people from across the UK, including 728 From Northern Ireland. It presents key findings in relation to how different demographics are doing across Wales.
Key finding:
DEMOCRATIC CRISIS: Trust in government and other institutions is much lower in Northern Ireland than elsewhere in the UK, with a majority of people feeling that they cannot influence the Northern Ireland Executive or local level decision makers (74% and 60% respectively). Moreover, people in Northern Ireland are the most likely from across the UK to report that they cannot influence decisions affecting the UK as a whole (84% compared to 72% in England, 75% in Wales and 79% in Scotland).
Other reports in this series include:

- Life in the UK 2023 Technical report

We are committed to releasing further reports on different demographic groups.
