An eight-week public consultation on the draft Programme for Government 2024-2027 ‘Our Plan: Doing What Matters Most’ was launched on 9th September 2024.
As part of this consultation NISRA statisticians have developed a PfG Wellbeing Framework Dashboard. Wellbeing is a combination of social, environmental, economic, and democratic factors which are essential for society to flourish.
The dashboard includes a selection of indicators, all NISRA official statistics, presented across ten strategic domains of wellbeing. The NI Executive will work to understand why the indicators within these domains are improving, staying the same or getting worse and use this analysis to inform future iterations of the Programme for Government.
Where possible indicators are broken down by different demographic groups such as sex, age, marital status, religion, disability, ethnic group, sexual orientation, those with and without dependants, and political opinion. We also provide geographic breakdowns where we can, to make sure that inequalities that exist between council areas, Assembly Areas, between urban and rural areas and areas of multiple deprivation are clear for all to see.
There will be ongoing development and iteration of these indicators to identify and address any potential gaps, and to improve or replace existing measures as necessary.
We want the dashboard to be clear and easy to use. We have developed a short user feedback survey and would appreciate it if you could tell us what you think of the dashboard.
