What Worries the World is a monthly online survey of adults aged under 65 in 28 nations, including India, China, France, Germany, Saudi Arabia, and the US.
Indians
are most worried about terrorism, unemployment, and financial and
political corruption, even as at least 73 per cent of the countrymen
are optimistic that the nation is headed in the right direction,
according to a survey.
The
Ipsos’ What
Worries the World Global Survey observed that worries
notwithstanding, India bucks the global trend of pessimism where 22
countries out of the 28 nations covered feel their country is on the
wrong track.
On
the other hand, the global list of issues across the 28 markets
surveyed is quite different in order, with financial and political
corruption and poverty and social inequality tied at the top spot
being the prime concerns, followed by unemployment, crime and
violence, and healthcare.
“Pulwama
terror strike has propelled terrorism
to the fore. It was way down in the pecking order in the past waves.
Terrorism is bothering Indians the most.” “Likewise, lack of jobs
is weighing on the minds of Indians and government needs to take the
bull by the horns and actively needs to address job creation and
tighten its stranglehold on terrorism,” said Parijat Chakraborty,
Service Line Leader, Ipsos Public Affairs, Customer Experience and
Corporate Reputation.
China
inspires the most confidence about its national direction with at
least nine in 10 Chinese citizens saying that their country is moving
in the right direction. Saudi Arabia is in second place, followed by
India and Malaysia. On the other hand, the top-five nations where
citizens are most apprehensive about the course their country is
taking were South Africa, France, Spain, Turkey and Belgium.
