The latest National Statistics on social attitudes produced by the Welsh Assembly Government.

The bulletin looks at the 2007Living in Wales survey results relating to respondents’ social attitudes and also compares results from the 2005 and 2006 surveys.

Key findings

In 2007:

• Respondents aged 70 and over were more than three times as likely to either ‘strongly agree’ or ‘tend to agree’ with the statement ‘to be truly Welsh, you have to be white’ than those respondents aged 16 to 29.
• Females were more likely than males to have ‘no opinion’ on every statement listed (see next page for the statements), except ‘it would not matter to me if one of my close relatives married someone from a different ethnic background.’
• Respondents living in ‘workless households’ were more likely to ‘strongly disagree’ with the statement on the whole, ‘Muslims who live in Wales make a positive contribution to society’ than those respondents living in ‘working households’.
