Individual Wellbeing in Northern Ireland

The Individual Wellbeing report provides estimates across four areas which reflect wellbeing, and was produced for the first time in 20/21.

The four areas of individual wellbeing included in the report are:

  • Loneliness – the frequency with which people report feeling lonely
  • Self-Efficacy – a person’s belief about their capabilities to exercise influence over events that affect their lives
  • Personal wellbeing – how satisfied people are with their lives, their levels of happiness and anxiety, and whether or not they think the things that they do are worthwhile
  • Locus of Control – the degree to which a person feels in control of their life

This report has been produced in collaboration with The Executive Office.
