Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey shows islanders struggling to cope financially

Almost a fifth of Jersey households reported having difficulty coping financially in 2017.

That's according to this year's Jersey Opinions and Lifestyle Survey, which asked 3,300 households to complete the questionnaire on topics ranging from organ donation to the cost of health services.

However, only 42% of eligible households completed the survey, which equated to over 1,300 respondents.

The survey aims to provide everyone in the island with a better understanding of social issues in Jersey, and to inform policy decisions.
