NISRA: Trusted statistics & research for a better society

The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA), which incorporates the

General Register Office (GRO), is an executive agency within the Department of

Finance (NI) and was established on 1 April 1996.

NISRA is the principal source of Official Statistics and social research on Northern

Ireland. These statistics and research not only inform public policy but also academic

and private sector research, and contribute to debate in the wider community. NISRA’s

services are afforded to a wide range of Government Departments and Non-

Departmental Public Bodies, as well as Local Councils to assist the policy process and

delivery of their objectives and actions. NISRA is also responsible for conducting the

decennial Census of Population.

The next Census is due to take place in 2021.

Once every ten years the census provides an opportunity tobuild a detailed and comprehensive picture of the population,reflecting everyone in our society. The results are invaluable forpolicy formation, planning services and the effective targetingof resources.

The census is critical as it provides a reference base for manystatistical series such as population estimates and socialsurveys.

Only the census provides consistent statistics for small areasand population groups across NI. Your co-operation is essentialin order to ensure that the census provides an accurate pictureof your local area.

For the first time it is proposed that the census will be primarilyonline and more convenient to complete for the majority of thepopulation.

NI: IN PROFILE is a resource pack of key statistics covering a range of areas of life in Northern Ireland. The pack brings together a

variety of data into a single place and will be of interest to a broad audience, including policy makers in the public and private sector,

businesses, students and academics, schools and the general public.

Statistics have primarily been sourced from across the Northern Ireland Statistics & Research Agency, however where official statistics are not

available statistics from other sources have been included. The pack is intended to provide a high-level statistical summary of life in Northern

Ireland and you will note that it does not include detailed commentary. If you wish to delve further into the detail of a particular statistic,

you are encouraged to follow the links provided. Data may also be available at smaller geographies through NISRA’s Neighbourhood

Information Service, NINIS.

Thanks are due to those NISRA statisticians working across all government departments who advised on the most appropriate statistics to

include within their own area of expertise. NISRA would also like to extend its thanks to the members of the general public and businesses

who have contributed to the provision of the statistics through their participation in the various surveys that the Agency conducts - without

your participation and co-operation the provision of this resource pack would not be possible.

The pack is available from the NISRA website. In the interests of continuous improvement and adding value, NISRA is keen to hear your

feedback on NI: IN PROFILE and would appreciate any comments you may have (please e-mail comments to Niall.O’Neill@nisra.gov.uk).

NI: IN PROFILE

Population growing – currently stands at 1.88 million.• Growth is mainly due to natural change (births-deaths). Net migration is a smaller factor.• Population is ageing; the 1960s baby-boom will drive faster ageing in the next decade. • In just 8 years time we are projected to have more older people (65+) than children.• There are currently 26 people aged 65+ for every 100 people of working age; in 25 years time there will be 42.• The fertility rate among women aged under 30 has more than halved since the mid-1970s.
