The mood across the world is currently less than optimistic. In fact, it's quite pessimistic. Conflict, climate change, political and social upheaval, and economic gloom are all conspiring to create an atmosphere of despondency and cynicism not felt for decades. But what are the most worrying global issues affecting society today, and to what degree?
Multinational market research and consulting firm Institut Public de Sondage d'Opinion Secteur (Ipsos) has recently published its latest survey to determine just that. Called 'What Worries the World,' the global study comprises a representative sample of 24,686 adults aged 16-74 in 29 participating countries, undertaken between June 21 and July 4, 2024. The report presents the top concerns around the world, alongside whether people think things in their country are heading in the right or wrong direction.
