This publication covers three broad aspects of Welsh life:

  • The first aspect is People in Wales, that is the use of the Welsh language, people's disabilities and long term illness, the impact of and attitudes to education and lastly the way people travel and use of the Internet
  • The second aspect concerns People and Society: that is people's perception of their quality of life, their participation in social and cultural activities and their attitudes towards the environment.  It also looks at their experience of discrimination and their opinions on disabled people.  Lastly it looks at aspects of their material well being.
  • The final part of this publication looks at People and Housing:  that is the tenure of their homes, whether or not homes in Wales are overcrowded and the types of housing amenities that are available to the members of the households. This section also looks at the important issues around fire and fire safety.  It concludes by looking at some of the financial issues involved in owning or renting homes.
