Ipsos Global @dvisor 34: The economic pulse of the world July 2012Ipsos UK
Though the world’s attention has turned to London and the Olympic Games, bad economic news continue to emanate from the UK and Europe. Ipsos MORI’s latest poll of 24 countries shows that just one in nine (11%) Europeans expect their local economy to be stronger in the next six months. This has fallen from 20% in April 2010. Meanwhile three in ten (28%) expect their economy to be weaker while six in ten (60%) expect it to be much the same as it is now.

Let It Go: How to Stop Micromanaging and Start Growing by Christine Perkett a...Engage
This document discusses how to stop micromanaging and start growing. It begins by outlining some common causes of micromanaging like insecurity, lack of trust, and need for control. It then provides signs that one may be a micromanager, such as knowing all project details or finding it hard to delegate. The document argues micromanaging decreases morale and stifles growth. It then offers cures like hiring the right people, assessing leadership skills, building communication, empowering others, and improving processes. The ultimate benefit is happier employees and more time for business growth.

Citizens in 24 Countries Assess the Current State of their Country’s Economy for a Total Global Perspective
These are the findings of the Global @dvisor Wave 19 (G@19), an Ipsos survey conducted between March 2nd and March 14th. Interviews were completed prior to the first earthquakes in Japan.
The survey instrument is conducted monthly in 24 countries around the world via the Ipsos Online Panel system. The countries reporting herein are Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States of America.
For the results of the survey presented herein, an international sample of 18,829 adults aged 18-64 in the US and Canada, and age 16-64 in all other countries, were interviewed. Approximately 1000+ individuals participated on a country by country basis via the Ipsos Online Panel with the exception of Argentina, Belgium, Indonesia, Mexico, Poland, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden and Turkey, where each have a sample approximately 500+.
Weighting was employed to balance demographics and ensure the sample's composition reflects that of the adult population according to the most recent country Census data available and to provide results intended to approximate the sample universe. A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size and a 100% response rate would have an estimated margin of error of +/-3.1 percentage points for a sample of 1,000 and an estimated margin of error of +/- 4.5 percentage points for a sample of 500. 19 times out of 20 per country of what the results would have been had the entire population of adults in that country had been polled.

The survey summarizes findings from a global survey of over 12,000 employees from 24 countries regarding their willingness to relocate internationally for work. Key findings include:
- Over 60% of respondents indicated they would consider relocating to a job at least 3-5 hours away by plane that offered a minimum 10% pay increase for 2-3 years.
- The top reasons for accepting such a job included better career opportunities and higher salary while family/personal commitments and not wanting to live abroad long-term were the primary reasons for not accepting.
- Guaranteed return to their current job after 2 years and paid round trip flights home were among the most motivating incentives for encouraging relocation while immigration assistance and
Ipsos Global @dvisor Wave 27: CyberbullyingIpsos UK
This document summarizes the findings of a global survey on cyberbullying conducted by Ipsos between November 1-15, 2011 across 24 countries. The survey included over 18,000 respondents and assessed public awareness and attitudes toward cyberbullying. Key findings included that the vast majority of respondents were familiar with the term cyberbullying. When asked their views on whether cyberbullying is fundamentally different than other forms of bullying, responses were mixed. Relatively few respondents reported that children in their household or community had directly experienced cyberbullying. The most commonly reported methods of cyberbullying experienced by victims were through social media sites and mobile devices.
Ipsos Consumer Confidence Index: UK economic confidence returns to pre-crash ...Ipsos UK
Britons are now more positive about the state of the UK than at any time since the crash, according to the latest Ipsos Consumer Confidence Index, conducted in 25 countries across the globe.
This report analyzed factors that affect child development in 60 countries across 4 regions. It found that corruption, percentage of population in urban areas, and percentage below the poverty line were directly correlated with lower child development index scores, while government type and divorce rate were not significantly correlated. A multiple regression model showed child development index is best predicted by percentage in urban areas and below poverty line. The report recommends countries focus on reducing poverty and corruption to improve child development.
The document discusses nation-states as units of analysis in social research. It distinguishes between aggregate, structural, and global properties of countries that can be measured as variables. Some key challenges are the small number of cases, lack of independence between units, and treating unequal units like countries as equivalent. Economic development is measured by GDP/GNP while social development uses indices like HDI. Political development is assessed using scales of democracy, regime types, and public perception.

Levels and Trends in Child Malnutrition - UNICEF, WHO, Worldbank - 2014UNICEF Data & Analytics
UNICEF, WHO and the World Bank released an updated joint dataset on child malnutrition indicators (stunting, wasting, severe wasting, overweight and underweight) and new global & regional estimates for 2013 with 95% confidence intervals in September 2014 through an interactive dashboard.
Some selected findings:
- 161 million children are stunted, down from 257 million in 1990.
- Undernutrition contributes to half of all deaths in children under 5 and is widespread in Asia and Africa.
- Boys are more likely to be stunted than girls in most countries.
- 43 million children under 5 are overweight globally (as of 2011), a 54% increase from 1990
Globally in 2013, 161 million children under 5 were stunted, 51 million were wasted, and 42 million were overweight. The prevalence of stunting and underweight has decreased since 2000 but trends are rising for overweight. Over half of stunted children live in Asia while over 1/3 live in Africa. For wasting, about 2/3 live in Asia and 1/3 in Africa. The report provides details on methodology, data sources, and interactive dashboards containing malnutrition estimates from 1990-2013.
Ipsos Consumer Confidence Index: August 2013Ipsos UK
The latest Ipsos Consumer Confidence Index provides further evidence that British consumers are becoming more optimistic about the state of the economy.
Some 23% now say the British economy is in “good” shape, up 4 points on June and more than double the level of twelve months ago (when the figure stood at 11%).
This pattern is not evident in all European countries. As the table below shows, in France, Italy and Spain, consumers are just as downbeat now in their assessments as they were a year ago.

- Countries are divided into three stages - status symbolists, ambitious altruists, and cooperative collaborativists - based on their views of material goods and success.
- Most respondents believe achieving success will be more difficult in the future but some countries like Bulgaria and Brazil remain optimistic.
- New models like collaborative businesses, social innovations, and entrepreneurship are transforming ideas of personal achievement.
- Improved access to arts and culture is seen as increasing opportunities for success by some respondents.
- As digital connectivity increases, the ability to collaborate virtually and across borders will

Quantitative Project: World Income and Health Inequality
Based on what we have discussed so far, it seems that
there
is
a lot of variation around the world in terms of income, wealth, education,
health
status, and many other characteristics. And these characteristics seem to be related
with
one another. For example, people
from
wealthier countries tend to live longer. In this project, you are asked to
use
international data to empirically investigate the relationship between
income
and health status. The following
sections
provide a general description of this project and raise questions that
you
need to answer.
Objectives:
A. Substantive
: Students will
be
able to
1.
investigate
world inequality in income.
2.
investigate
world inequality in health
status
.
3.
investigate
the relationship between income and
health
status.
B.
Quantitative Skills
: Students will be able to
1.
sort
a single variable and examine
its
distribution
2.
calculate
within-group adjusted-means
weighted
by populations
3.
produce
a scatter plot to investigate the
relationship
between two variables
Data and Variables
The data are from “2008 World Population Data Sheet” published by the Population Reference Bureau (
http://prb.org/Publications/Datasheets.aspx
).
Three
variables
are used for this project:
Gross National Income (GNI) PPP per capita
Life
expectancy
Population (
in
millions)
These three variables for more
than
100 countries are already compiled in an Excel file.
Validity of the Measurement
Income level
Q_1
: Why can’t Gross National Income be directly used as a
measure
of income level? What does the PPP adjustment
take
into account? Why has it to be per capita?
Health Status
Q_2
: How is life expectancy defined? Why not to use Crude
Death Rate (CDR)? What is the advantage of using life
expectancy
?
Data Analysis
Corresponding to the three
objectives
stated above, the analysis section is composed of the following
three
parts:
1. Investigation of income inequality between rich and poor countries
Q_3
: Find out the top five countries with the highest GNI PPP per
capita
and
the bottom five countries with the
lowest
values. List these
countries’
names and their income.
Q_4
: How much is the difference between the highest and lowest
country
?
Q_5
: If we want to find out the overall difference between these
two
groups
, can we
simply
take an average of the five values of GNI PPP
per
capita within each group and
compare
the two means? Why or
why
not?
A better way is to compare the
population
-weighted means. We first need
to
calculate the total income for each country by multiplying GNI PPP per
capita
by its population. Then, add
all
five
total income within each group. Finally.

The document summarizes views from an Ipsos online community on Brexit 5 years after the referendum vote. Most people feel they have not noticed significant changes from Brexit yet and think the pandemic has overshadowed its effects. While some notice higher costs or shipping delays from EU countries, many are still confused about attributing rising prices to Brexit or Covid. There remains a divide between those who voted Leave and Remain, with both sides still convinced of their views despite most saying they have not been personally affected much either way. Overall, uncertainty persists around how Brexit will truly impact daily life.

Ipsos Global Advisor: The Perils of Perception: Environment and Climate ChangeIpsos UK
The document discusses a survey conducted in 30 markets about individual actions to tackle climate change. While most people agreed they understand the actions needed, there were widespread misperceptions. Respondents underestimated the most impactful actions like having fewer children and overestimated less important actions like recycling. They also lacked awareness of climate impacts already occurring. The document examines perceptions of various individual actions. Respondents correctly identified some high-impact options but overestimated others like reducing packaging and underestimated important actions like home renovations for efficiency.
Ipsos Community: Quotes following the events around the vigil for Sarah EverardIpsos UK
The document contains opinions from several individuals on a vigil and the interactions between police and protesters. One person recalls being assaulted in the past and no longer feeling safe at night. Others discuss the right of the public to peacefully gather while following social distancing, and how the event initially remained peaceful until some protesters became abusive toward police, with one officer being told they should have died.
The 2020 Global Infrastructure Index - undertaken in partnership by GIIA and Ipsos MORI and the largest global survey of its kind looking at public attitudes towards infrastructure and investment – shows that the British public believe investment in infrastructure should form a key part of the UK Government’s plan to secure economic recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Since the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, women of all ages across Britain are more pessimistic and worried than their male counterparts. This new webinar explores why.
Looking at data around the balance of responsibility and mental load at work and at home for women compared to men, the additional stresses that the pandemic has put on women of all ages, and the specific damages it has made to women's work-life balances and future ability to progress in a career, our expert speakers will examine how the disease - despite being more prevalent in men - might be more damaging to women.
Ipsos has analysed data from more than 2,000 women of working age across Britain to examine what is happening, explore the causes and explain what can be done to better support those women being hit hardest by the pandemic.
Speakers include:
Jane Merrick, Policy Editor, the I newspaper

Economic optimism has fallen to its lowest level since the 2008 financial crisis, according to Ipsos MORI’s new Political Monitor. The new poll, conducted between 13-16 March, so before some of this week’s emergency measures were announced, shows seven in ten (69%) now say they think the economy will get worse in the next 12 months – this is up from 42% in February. Just 15% think that the economy will improve, leaving an Economic Optimism Index score of -54. The last time pessimism was this low was in November 2008 (at its worst during the 2008 crisis 75% thought the economy would get worse). Despite this pessimism, around half (49%) believe the Government is handling the coronavirus outbreak well (35% say badly).

Ipsos MORI Social Media Britain November 2019Ipsos UK
The key findings of the November 2019 edition of our new Social Media Britain report - powered by Synthesio - include:
Overall Brexit continued to lead the conversation in November – however there was a 59% increase in NHS related mentions vs. October. This was driven in part by Corbyn revealing documents that he says indicate a Conservative government would sell off the NHS as part of a US trade deal.
The general election, which is the focus of our deep dive this month, as well as the London Bridge terror attack - both contributed to sizeable shifts in social conversation.
Following the ITV Leaders Debate, there was a sharp increase in conversation around the general election. The release of the Labour and Conservative manifestos seeing further spikes in volume towards the end of November.
When comparing Johnson and Corbyn activity on Twitter in November there were some notable differences in the focus of their posts. Whilst Brexit was mentioned across 42% of Johnson’s tweets – it was only mentioned within 6% of Corbyn’s. Corbyn focused mainly on the NHS, which was mentioned in just over a third of his tweets.

3. Analytic Components…
There are three analytic components that make up the findings of this monthly Economic Pulse report.
Each question is tracked and analyzed from questions dealing with:
The currently perceived macroeconomic state of
the respondent’s country:
• Thinking about our economic situation, how would you describe the current
economic situation in [insert country]? Is it very good, somewhat good, somewhat
bad or very bad?
The currently perceived state of the local economy:
• Rate the current state of the economy in your local area using a scale from 1 to 7,
where 7 means a very strong economy today and 1 means a very weak economy.
A six month outlook for the local economy:
• Looking ahead six months from now, do you expect the economy in your local
area to be much stronger, somewhat stronger, about the same, somewhat weaker, or
much weaker than it is now?

4. SUMMARY
A Global @dvisory – April 2012 – G@31 4
The Economic Pulse
5. Summary…
This month’s average global citizen assessment of their national economy
stands at 39% who think it is “good”: the slow-moving pendulum, that swung up
one point, down one point for the better part of 2011, now maintains a standstill that
has lasted for the past three waves.
Underneath this layer of seeming inertia, regional variations persist. The world’s
fastest developing regions appear to have slowed down this month with the Middle
East and Africa (-2 points to 61%) and Latin America (-1 to 45%) being the only
regions to show declines. No change is witnessed in the Asia-Pacific region (44%)
while modest improvements are reported in North America (+1 to 43%) and even
struggling Europe (+2 to 25%).
Citizens’ predictions of whether they think their local economy will be “stronger”,
“weaker” or “about the same” six months from now have skipped up two points
(26%) agreeing it will be stronger, the highest it has been since around this time last
year (26%). All regions reflect improvements on this measure.

The Economic Pulse
6. A Look at Europe
‘Very Good / Somewhat Good’
The global aggregate continues to be dragged
down by Europe, despite a two-point
improvement this wave to 25% saying the current
economic situation in their country is ‘good.’ Most
European countries sit at the bottom of the 24
countries surveyed.
In April 2007, European
economic confidence
assessments (51%) sat
close to the global average
56%). It shadowed the
global aggregate over the
next two years, as many
countries slipped during
the global economic
recession.
But the crisis formed a gap between Europe and
the world that would persist to present day. In
January 2010 the European sentiment (28%)
was ten points weaker that the 24 country total
(38%) and now in March 2012 the gap has
widened to 14 points (Europe 25%, April 2012 – G@31
A Global @dvisory – total 39%).

8. Global Average of National Economic Assessment (39%)
remains stagnant
The average global economic assessment of national economies surveyed in 24
countries is unchanged since the last sounding with 39% reporting current
economic conditions in their country are “good”.
Saudi Arabia is once again showing the strongest (89%) rating of its national economic
assessment, followed by India (79%), China (71%) and Sweden (70%).
Only 2% in Portugal report their country’s economic situation is ‘good’, followed by a tie
between Spain (4%) and Hungary (4%), then by Italy (6%) all at the lowest levels.
Countries with the greatest improvements: Belgium (+8 to 24%), Poland (+6 to 27%),
India (+5 to 79%), Russia (+5 to 33%), Argentina (+4 to 51%) and Great Britain (+4 to
14%).
Countries with the greatest declines: Brazil (-9 to 54%), Indonesia (-5 to 35%), South
Africa (-4 to 36%), Australia (-4 to 62%), Sweden (-3 to 70%), and Germany (-3 to 68%).

9. Global Average of Local Economic Assessment (30%)
Being “Good” Up One Point This Month
The global average of local economic assessment being “good” among the 24
countries is up one point this wave to three in ten (30%).
Saudi Arabia (69%) remains the unchallenged leader on this measure. China (59%)
is a distant second, followed by India (56%) and Germany (47%). At the bottom of the
rating are Portugal (5%), Spain (6%), Japan (6%), Hungary (7%) and Italy (12%).
Countries with the greatest improvements: China (+10 to 59%), India (+5 to 56%),
Belgium (+5 to 16%), Poland (+4 to 22%) and Saudi Arabia (+4 to 69%).
Countries with the greatest declines: Australia (-3 to 43%), Brazil (-3 to 41%),
Mexico (-3 to 25%) and Turkey (-4 to 37%).

10. Global Average of Future Outlook for Local Economy Up
Two Points: 26%
Citizens asked to provide their assessments on the extent to which they think their
local economy will be “stronger”, “weaker” or “about the same” six months from now
found a global average of one quarter (26%) who believe it will be “stronger.”
Brazil continues to lead on this measure with seven out of ten (71%) indicating
that the local economy will be stronger over next 6 months. Saudi Arabia (59%)
holds a more distant second place, followed by India (57%), Argentina (47%) and
Mexico (46%).
Only a handful in France (6%), Belgium (7%), Hungary (8%) and South Korea (11%)
report they expect their local economies to be stronger.
Countries with the greatest improvements: China (+8 to 42%), Turkey (+5 to
39%), Russia (+5 to 20%) and Sweden (+5 to 17%)
Countries with the greatest declines: Indonesia (-2 to 26%), Germany (-3 to 17%),
