A government office is calling upon Abu Dhabi residents to let their voices be heard in a survey about their quality of life.

The Department of Community Development has launched its second questionnaire that seeks to gather information about residents’ lives in the emirate and how they can be improved.

The survey focuses on housing, jobs, income, health, education and work/life balance.

It was designed in response to the results of a survey, released by the department last year, in which more than 51,000 people participated.

Dr Mugheer Al Khaili, chairman of the Department, said the results would be used to inform policies and design infrastructure to improve the lives and social welfare of the capital’s residents.

He said residents of all ages are encouraged to participate in the survey: http://bit.ly/2KOD1ap
