    The Fife Strategic Assessment is produced by Fife Council every three years to support the ongoing development of the Plan for Fife.  The report brings into a single document a synthesis of the latest research, evidence and assessment about Fife, to highlight the shared challenges facing local communities and partner agencies.

    It is designed principally for leaders, decision-makers and those involved in service design and development but can be helpful in providing context for all working in public service generally - to build understanding of Fife's communities and the collective challenges being faced.

    The key messages in the report are: 

    • Issues around equity 
    • Inequalities in Fife persist and are widening 
    • Poverty persists and living standards continue to be squeezed
    • Mid-Fife continues to be an area of strategic concern  
    • Population growth has stalled, the population is ageing 
    • Older people likely to live longer in poorer health and risk exclusion 
    • Mental wellbeing is declining 
    • Children and young people are a key concern 
    • Place outcomes show growing need for improvement 
    • Addressing the impacts of climate change is a strategic priority, cutting across services and outcomes
