Reseña del editor

This book is an essential resource on attitudes to social and political issues in contemporary Northern Ireland. Within this report, an authoritative group of academics and those involved in informing policy-making within the community summarise and interpret data from the annual Northern Ireland Life and Times survey. Topics explored include the extent of change in attitudes centred on religion, politics and community relations. Other topics contribute to the more general social policy debate and include health, social capital, lifelong learning, men’s issues, culture and attitudes to work.

This is the ninth report in the series on social attitudes in Northern Ireland. The chapters draw on data from the 2000 and 2001 Northern Ireland Life and Times surveys, as well as on data from previous years, thus providing an in-depth examination of changing values in Northern Ireland.
