Statistical Bulletin (Draft PfG) Indicator 35 Percentage of the population who believe their cultural identity is respected by society

Details

Each year, the Northern Ireland Life and Times (NILT) survey takes a snapshot of the attitudes and beliefs of adults in Northern Ireland to a range of societal issues including housing, identity, sports, and community relations. The issues covered within the survey differ each year depending on interest, however a community relations module is included annually. Responses to these questions are used in the annual Good Relations Indicators report which monitors progress against the priorities of the Together: Building a United Community (T:BUC) Strategy.

One question has been adopted to inform Outcome 9 of the Outcomes Delivery Plan 2018-19: “Percentage (%) of the population who believe their cultural identity is respected by society”. Cultural Identity is defined within the survey as, “things like your ethnicity, nationality, religious, or political background”.
