The British Social Attitudes Survey was out this week. While facts are nothing without ideas to bring them to life, or understanding ‘why’, stuff like this is still useful:
- Work life balance is getting harder as 84% of women and 77% of men would like to spend more time with family and friends.
- Only 8% of emplyees find their work never stressful
- The internet isn’t reducing time socialising – in fact internet users are more likely to be socially connected
- Britishness is in decline – but Englishness is up, and more than ‘Scottishness’ or ‘Welshness’.
- The majority is happy to surrender civil liberties in return for security. This trend began in the mid – 90’s BEFORE 911 and the ‘war on terror’. BUT people are less inclined to support civil liberties if the questions are about terrorism.
