Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey - Major studies
Social attitudes and behaviour - Society and culture
The Northern Ireland Life and Times Survey (NILT) series began in 1998, and was the successor to the previous Northern Ireland Social Attitudes series, (held at the UK Data Archive under SN 33235), which was discontinued in 1996. The aims of the NILT series are:- to monitor public attitudes towards social policy and political issues in Northern Ireland
- to provide a time series on attitudes to key social policy areas
- to facilitate academic social policy analysis
- to provide a freely available resource on public attitudes for the wider community of users in Northern Ireland
NILT originally had a companion series which also began in 1998, the Young Life and Times Survey (YLT - see under SN 33313), although the methodology changed in 2003 (see SN 4826). NILT also forms part of the International Social Survey Programme (ISSP), although it does not do so every year.
No NILT 2011:
Unfortunately, the NILT team were unable to obtain full funding to run NILT in 2011, therefore there is no 2011 survey. However, funding for the 2012 and 2013 surveys has been secured. (The Young Life and Times Survey (YLT) ran as normal in 2011.)
Further information about the NILT series may be found on the NILT pages on the ARK (Access Research Knowledge) web site.

This dataset includes questions on respondent's background, rights of the child, public understanding of science, political attitudes, crime and fear of crime, gender and family roles, community relations and religious observance (this module is part of ISSP and is also archived at the German data archive, Zentralarchiv fuer Empirische Sozialforschung - 'ZA').
User should note that all respondents were asked every module.
