Abstract:

Research Question: What factors are associated with change in Welsh Language speaking between 2001 and 2011? Methods: Analysis of Welsh Census completed in 2011 and Welsh and English Census completed in 2001. Results: Gaining Welsh language compared with losing it, n=1,713: odds increase with age and with the number of Welsh speakers in the household. Marital status and educational qualifications were not significantly associated. Retaining Welsh language compared with losing it, n=3,533: odds increase with age and with number of Welsh speakers in the household. Odds are lower for married/partnered than never married/partnered. Educational qualifications were not significantly associated. Gaining Welsh language compared with not gaining it, n=18,327: odds increase with age and with number of Welsh speakers in the household. Odds are lower for married/partnered and divorced/separated than never married/partnered and higher for graduates than those with no qualifications. All analysis is adjusted for socio-economic status.
