The Social Attitudes Survey was randomly sent to 3,000 homes across the Island
Those under 40 living on the Isle of Man are said to be less satisfied with their lives than the older generation.
That's just one of the findings of a survey carried out by Statistics Isle of Man.
It's the first of its kind since the Covid pandemic put the study on an indefinite hiatus in 2020.
In August last year the Social Attitudes Survey was randomly sent to 3,000 homes across the Island.
Of that figure only 14.8 percent of those targeted responded.
It asked for people's views on employment, public services, healthcare and safety on the Isle of Man.
While it showed overall that people regard the Island as being safe, public trust in government and the Council of Ministers was low.
On a scale of one to six, CoMin and the Legislative Council scored 4.1 and 4.4 respectively.
Trust in individual MHKs was higher at a score of five out of six.
In terms of happiness, the Island's population is said to have 'very moderate' levels of happiness, however there is significant disparity between the different age groups.
For example, those under 40 proved to be less satisfied or happy in their lives compared to the older demographic.
Access to housing and money worries have been cited as reasons behind that.
Meanwhile, in terms of financial security, that younger age group also ranked lower with results showing those under 40 find it difficult to manage on their current income.
Overall, 45.3 percent of Manx residents say they are able to live comfortably while 14.6 percent find it 'difficult or very difficult'.
The remaining 40.1 percent say they're 'coping'.
The survey also found 13 percent of respondents went without heat, while 6.7 percent didn't get a cooked meal each day which supports the notion that food inflation and energy prices have impacted at lease a relatively large segment of the population.
In other matters - the survey found most working people here are satisfied with their jobs and the majority of people are in favour of 'some' inward migration regardless of race or ethnic group.
