National Survey Welsh Language Indicator

The National Survey for Wales is a face-to-face survey of people across Wales. Each year over 11,000 people aged 16 and over are asked for their opinions on a wide range of issues affecting them and their local area. Respondents are selected at random to ensure the results are representative. The Well-being of Future Generations Act 2015 is about improving the social, economic, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales. The Act puts in place seven well-being goals for Wales. These are for a more equal, prosperous, resilient, healthier and globally responsible Wales, with cohesive communities and a vibrant culture and thriving Welsh language. 46 national indicators were laid in March 2016 before the National Assembly and the National Survey for Wales will be the data source for fifteen of the national indicators: indicators 3, 19, 20, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 35, 36, 37 and 38. Some indicators will be updated annually and others less frequently depending on how fast-changing the results are likely to be. Slower-changing topics will not be included in the survey, and therefore not updated, every year. For further information, please see Weblinks.
