First annual results of 'Measuring National Wellbeing Programme' show teenagers and pensioners have key to happiness
It made the following points, that :
* having more free time for leisure pursuits may be one reason why people aged 65-79 are more satisfied with their lives.
* you are one of the happiest people in Britain if you :
- live on the Western Isles, Orkney or Shetland.
- are the happiest if you live in Eilean Siar, Orkney and Shetland Islands, recording a satisfaction level of 8.1 out of 10,
- work as a doctor or a lawyer.
- are you married and over 65.
- are in good health and a homeowner.
* if you happen to be a divorced, middle-aged machine operative living in Thurrock, Essex, you could well be one of the saddest – especially if you're a man.
* Eilean Siar has 1,100 retired old people which is 26.8% of its population compared to 18.5% in Scotland and 16.5 % in Britain as a whole.
