The SHS 2017 Annual Report was published on Tuesday 4 September 2018. The report provides an introduction to the survey and presents and interprets some of the key policy-relevant results at a national level.
This is a summary of the Scottish Household Survey. The survey provides robust evidence on the composition, characteristics, attitudes and behaviour of private households and individuals as well as evidence on the
physical condition of Scotland’s homes. The current scale of the SHS enables all users to obtain a robust deeper understanding of issues and performance, by being able to analyse across key demographic household
characteristics such as deprivation, age, income, gender, rurality, ethnicity and other equalities. This is crucial to informing the Fairer Scotland agenda.
This short report summarises the key findings on Climate Change from the Scottish Household Survey Annual Report 2017.
