Social Issues

Policy Centre Jersey brings together independent research, data and analysis to support a deeper understanding of Jersey’s special characteristics including history, political system, economy and environment.

Jersey is, by any standard, a prosperous community, but that does not mean that there are not social problems. The high cost of housing on the Island and an education system that still relies extensively on testing have significant social implications.

Browse our latest research and insights on social mobility and low income in Jersey, and on specific social issues such as problem gambling and violence against women and girls.
