6、and sub-Saharan Africa.The report also explores views of childrens financial futures and the economic system reform in each country.For non-U.S.data,this report draws on nationally representative surveys of 41,503 adults conducted from Jan.5 to May 22,2024.All surveys were conducted over the phone w

7、ith adults in Canada,France,Germany,Greece,Italy,Japan,Malaysia,the Netherlands,Singapore,South Korea,Spain,Sweden and the United Kingdom.Surveys were conducted face-to-face in Argentina,Bangladesh,Brazil,Chile,Colombia,Ghana,Hungary,India,Indonesia,Israel,Kenya,Mexico,Nigeria,Peru,the Philippines,P

9、ER www.pewresearch.org In the United States,we surveyed 3,600 adults from April 1 to April 7,2024.Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of the Centers American Trends Panel(ATP),an online survey panel that is recruited through national,random sampling of residential addresses.This way ne

10、arly all U.S.adults have a chance of selection.The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S.adult population by gender,race,ethnicity,partisan affiliation,education and other categories.Read more about the ATPs methodology.Throughout the report,we analyze respondents attitudes based on whe

11、re they place themselves on an ideological scale.We asked about political ideology using several slightly different scales and categorized people as being on the ideological left,center or right.In most countries,we asked people to place themselves on a scale ranging from“Extreme left”to“Extreme rig

12、ht.”The question was asked this way in Argentina,Bangladesh,Brazil,Canada,Chile,Colombia,France,Germany,Greece,Hungary,Israel,Italy,Mexico,the Netherlands,Nigeria,Peru,the Philippines,Poland,South Africa,Spain,Sweden,Turkey and the United Kingdom.In Australia,the scale ranged from“Left”to“Right.”In

13、Japan,Singapore,South Korea and Thailand,ideology was measured on a scale from“Extremely progressive”to“Extremely conservative.”In the U.S.,ideology is defined as conservative(right),moderate(center)and liberal(left).Ideology was not asked about in Ghana,India,Indonesia,Kenya,Malaysia,Sri Lanka or T

14、unisia.To compare educational groups across countries,we standardize education levels based on the UNs International Standard Classification of Education(ISCED).Prior to 2024,combined totals were based on rounded topline figures.For all reports beginning in 2024,totals are based on unrounded topline

15、 figures,so combined totals might be different than in previous years.Refer to the 2024 topline to see our new rounding procedures applied to past years data.Here are the questions used for the report,along with responses,and the survey methodology.4 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org Table of

20、ESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org Economic Inequality Seen as Major Challenge Around the World Most say rich peoples political influence is a big contributing factor A new Pew Research Center survey of 36 nations finds widespread public concern about economic inequality.And when asked what leads to

21、 this inequality,most people across the countries surveyed point to the intersection of wealth and politics.The key findings of the survey include:A median of 54%of adults across the nations surveyed say the gap between the rich and the poor is a very big problem in their country.Another 30%say it i

22、s a moderately big problem.A median of 60%believe that rich people having too much political influence contributes a great deal toward economic inequality.These views are especially common among people on the ideological left,though many on the right agree.Ideological divisions are particularly larg

23、e in the United States.The survey,conducted in spring 2024,also finds deep global anxieties about the economic future and a strong desire for economic reform.Concerns about economic inequality are widespread around the world Median%who say the gap between the rich and the poor is a _ in their countr

27、ncluding Australia,Canada,France,Italy,Japan,Spain,the United Kingdom and the U.S.For the most part,this pessimistic view about the economic future is shared by younger and older adults alike,as well as by people with higher and lower incomes.However,in several countries,the public is more optimisti

28、c than pessimistic about the financial prospects of the next generation.These include a few South Asian and Southeast Asian nations:Bangladesh,India,Indonesia,the Philippines,Singapore and Thailand.And there is modest optimism in some Latin American nations,too.About half of those surveyed in Argent

29、ina,Brazil,Chile and Mexico think todays children will be better off than their parents,while around four-in-ten or more say they will be worse off.In many countries,there is more economic pessimism today than before the COVID-19 pandemic which hurt many people economically.In 15 of 31 countries whe

30、re trends are available,the share of the public who thinks children will be worse off financially than their parents is higher today than in pre-pandemic surveys.Globally,most think children will be worse off financially than their parents%who say that when children in their country grow up,they wil

39、of economic inequality What causes economic inequality?In our list of six potential factors,the strong connection between money and politics resonates most with respondents,topping the list in 31 of 36 countries.Overall,more than eight-in-ten adults say that rich people having too much influence ove

40、r politics contributes to economic inequality either a great deal(60%at the median)or a fair amount(26%).But respondents see other factors as important,too.Majorities across the countries surveyed believe problems with the education system add to inequality in their nation.Many also attribute inequa

41、lity to some people working harder than others or some being born with more opportunities.Smaller but still notable shares cite other factors,including robots and computers doing work previously done by humans,and discrimination against racial or ethnic minorities.Read more:Factors seen as contribut

47、r countries economic inequality remains the reality in many nations.And as our survey highlights,this is a matter of strong public concern.More than eight-in-ten adults across the surveyed countries see the gap between rich and poor as a very or moderately big problem in their country.But theres con

48、cern about other forms of inequality as well.Roughly two-thirds say discrimination against people based on their race or ethnicity is a very or moderately big problem where they live,while about six-in-ten say this about gender inequality.And more than half describe discrimination against people bas

49、ed on their religion as a big problem.Concerns about these issues are often tied to respondents demographic characteristics,background and experiences.For example,in some nations,people with lower incomes are especially worried about economic inequality;racial and ethnic minorities are more concerne

50、d about racial and ethnic discrimination;women are more concerned about gender inequality;and people who prioritize religion are more likely to see religious discrimination as a very big problem.Read more:Global perceptions of different types of inequality Gap between rich and poor is among several

54、tical ideology.For instance,while concerns about inequality are common across the ideological spectrum,in many countries people who place themselves on the left are especially likely to say the gap between rich and poor is a very big problem.Those on the left are also particularly likely to see raci

55、al and ethnic discrimination and gender inequality as very big problems.And the same pattern appears when it comes to the perceived causes of inequality.People on the left are more likely than those on the right to cite the political influence of the rich,racial discrimination,and the fact that some

56、 are born with more opportunities than others.Some of the largest ideological divisions in the survey are in the U.S.For example,76%of U.S.liberals say economic inequality is a very big problem in their country,compared with just 30%of conservatives.This 46 percentage point gap is the largest left-r

61、)While concerns about economic inequality are widespread in all the countries surveyed,people in middle-income nations are especially likely to describe it as a very big problem.They are also more likely to say that the rich having too much political influence is a major cause of inequality.But when

62、 it comes to views about the economic future,people in middle-income nations are somewhat more positive.A median of 44%of adults in middle-income nations believe that when children in their country grow up,they will be financially better off than their parents.A median of just 26%in wealthier nation

228、e in many European countries),survey respondents who indicate support for any party in the coalition were grouped together.In Germany,for example,where the Social Democratic Party governed with Alliance 90/The Greens and the Free Democratic Party at the time of the spring 2024 survey,supporters of a

229、ny of the three parties were grouped together.In countries where different political parties control the executive and legislative branches of government,the party holding the executive branch was considered the governing party.Survey respondents who did not indicate support for any political party,

230、or who refused to identify with one,were categorized as not supporting the government in power.Party identification was not asked about in the Philippines or Tunisia.The table below outlines the governing political parties in each survey country.1 Governing parties were not updated to account for el

253、d Verian.The results are based on national samples,unless otherwise noted.More details about our international survey methodology and country-specific sample designs are available here.The American Trends Panel survey methodology Overview The American Trends Panel(ATP),created by Pew Research Center

254、,is a nationally representative panel of randomly selected U.S.adults.Panelists participate via self-administered web surveys.Panelists who do not have internet access at home are provided with a tablet and wireless internet connection.Interviews are conducted in both English and Spanish.The panel i

255、s being managed by Ipsos.Data in this report is drawn from ATP Wave 145,conducted from April 1-7,2024,among a sample of ATP members who had previously completed both of ATP Waves 132 and 143.It includes an oversample of non-Hispanic Asian adults,non-Hispanic Black men and Hispanic men in order to pr

256、ovide more precise estimates of the opinions and experiences of these smaller demographic subgroups.These oversampled groups are weighted back to reflect their correct proportions in the population.A total of 3,600 panelists responded out of 3,776 who were sampled,for a response rate of 95%.The cumu

257、lative response rate accounting for nonresponse to the recruitment surveys and attrition is 3%.The break-off rate among panelists who logged on to the survey and completed at least one item is 1%.The margin of sampling error for the full sample of 3,600 respondents is plus or minus 2.1 percentage po

258、ints.Panel recruitment The ATP was created in 2014,with the first cohort of panelists invited to join the panel at the end of a large,national,landline and cellphone random-digit dial survey that was conducted in both English and Spanish.Two additional recruitments were conducted using the same meth

259、od in 2015 and 2017,respectively.Across these three surveys,a total of 19,718 adults were invited to join the ATP,of whom 9,942(50%)agreed to participate.In August 2018,the ATP switched from telephone to address-based sampling(ABS)recruitment.A study cover letter and a pre-incentive are mailed to a

260、stratified,random sample of households 52 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org selected from the U.S.Postal Services Delivery Sequence File.This Postal Service file has been estimated to cover as much as 98%of the population,although some studies suggest that the coverage could be in the low 90%r

261、ange.2 Within each sampled household,the adult with the next birthday is asked to participate.Other details of the ABS recruitment protocol have changed over time but are available upon request.3 We have recruited a national sample of U.S.adults to the ATP approximately once per year since 2014.In s

262、ome years,the recruitment has included additional efforts(known as an“oversample”)to boost sample size with underrepresented groups.For example,Hispanic adults,Black adults and Asian adults were oversampled in 2019,2022 and 2023,respectively.Across the six address-based recruitments,a total of 23,86

263、2 adults were invited to join the ATP,of whom 20,917 agreed to join the panel and completed an initial profile survey.Of the 30,859 individuals who have ever joined the ATP,11,906 remained active panelists and continued to receive survey invitations at the time this survey was conducted.The American

268、research.org The overall target population for this survey was noninstitutionalized persons ages 18 and older living in the U.S.,including Alaska and Hawaii.It featured a stratified random sample of active ATP members who completed both ATP Wave 132 and Wave 143.Among the panelists who met these cri

269、teria,Hispanic men,non-Hispanic Black men and non-Hispanic Asian adults were selected with certainty.The remaining panelists were sampled at rates designed to ensure that the share of respondents in each stratum is proportional to its share of the U.S.adult population to the greatest extent possible

270、.Respondent weights are adjusted to account for differential probabilities of selection as described in the Weighting section below.Questionnaire development and testing The questionnaire was developed by Pew Research Center in consultation with Ipsos.The web program was rigorously tested on both PC

271、 and mobile devices by the Ipsos project management team and Pew Research Center researchers.The Ipsos project management team also populated test data that was analyzed in SPSS to ensure the logic and randomizations were working as intended before launching the survey.Incentives All respondents wer

272、e offered a post-paid incentive for their participation.Respondents could choose to receive the post-paid incentive in the form of a check or a gift code to A or could choose to decline the incentive.Incentive amounts ranged from$5 to$20 depending on whether the respondent belongs to a part of the p

273、opulation that is harder or easier to reach.Differential incentive amounts were designed to increase panel survey participation among groups that traditionally have low survey response propensities.Data collection protocol The data collection field period for this survey was April 1-7,2024.Postcard

274、notifications were mailed to a subset of ATP panelists with a known residential address on April 1.4 Invitations were sent out in two separate launches:soft launch and full launch.Sixty panelists were included in the soft launch,which began with an initial invitation sent on April 1.The ATP panelist

275、s chosen for the initial soft launch were known responders who had completed previous ATP surveys within one day of receiving their invitation.All remaining English-and Spanish-speaking sampled panelists were included in the full launch and were sent an invitation on April 2.4 Postcard notifications

276、 are sent to 1)panelists who have been provided with a tablet to take ATP surveys,2)panelists who were recruited within the last two years,and 3)panelists recruited prior to the last two years who opt to continue receiving postcard notifications.54 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresearch.org All panelis

279、ficing.This includes checking for whether respondents left questions blank at very high rates or always selected the first or last answer presented.As a result of this checking,one ATP respondent was removed from the survey dataset prior to weighting and analysis.55 PEW RESEARCH CENTER www.pewresear

280、ch.org Weighting The ATP data is weighted in a multistep process that accounts for multiple stages of sampling and nonresponse that occur at different points in the survey process.First,each panelist begins with a base weight that reflects their probability of selection for their initial recruitment

281、 survey.These weights are then rescaled and adjusted to account for changes in the design of ATP recruitment surveys from year to year.Finally,the weights are calibrated to align with the population benchmarks in the accompanying table to correct for nonresponse to recruitment surveys and panel attr

282、ition.If only a subsample of panelists was invited to participate in the wave,this weight is adjusted to account for any differential probabilities of selection.Among the panelists who completed the survey,this weight is then calibrated again to align with the population benchmarks identified in the

283、 accompanying table and trimmed at the 2nd and 98th percentiles to reduce the loss in precision stemming from variance in the weights.This trimming is performed separately among non-Hispanic Black,non-Hispanic Asian,Hispanic and all other respondents.Sampling errors and tests of statistical signific
