The document is a report on corruption benchmarking in Serbia prepared for UNDP Serbia in December 2012. Some key findings from the report include:
1) Optimism about Serbia's direction increased for the first time in three years, with pessimism declining below 45%, though many remain uncertain.
2) Direct and indirect experience with corruption fell by nearly half compared to previous years. Fewer people paid bribes in the second half of 2012 than ever before.
3) Perceptions of corruption decreased significantly, with over 25% saying corruption had decreased - more than ever before. Many believe corruption will continue decreasing in the next year.
4) Citizens increasingly recognize corruption as a major problem and support

- Most respondents were female, ages 18-35.
2012 Social Election Survey Report Presentation SlidesORI
The 2012 Social Election Survey explored how social media influenced perceptions and voter behavior in the 2012 U.S. presidential election. The objectives were to understand how the public used social media to learn about and engage in election discussions, the perceived credibility of social media versus other information sources, and how effectively candidates used social media. The survey collected demographics on 806 respondents and examined their interest in the election, top issues determining their vote, political engagement activities, sources of information, social media use, and sharing of political views on social media.
The document presents results from a survey measuring women's empowerment in agriculture in Bangladesh using the Women's Empowerment in Agriculture Index. It finds that only about 42% of women in Bangladesh have achieved gender parity with men in their households. The domains that contribute most to women's disempowerment are leadership, production, and resources. Rates of empowerment vary significantly across regions and are generally lower for older, less educated, and poorer women.
This document discusses trends in membership for associations and concerns about maintaining membership levels over the next 5 years. It notes that 44% of associations saw higher membership over the past 5 years but only 15% expect higher membership going forward. The biggest concerns about future membership include an aging membership and attracting youth. Charts show that the typical association membership age is shifting upwards. The document argues that associations need to focus on the customer value proposition by providing exclusive benefits that address specific needs and by reworking structures and strategies to enhance the membership value.
This document summarizes a presentation on a study examining how perceived barriers to healthcare and experiences of provider discrimination relate to low-income insured adults reporting delayed or foregone medical care. The study found that reporting bigger problems with barriers like coverage, finances, access, family/work issues, or provider-related issues, as well as experiencing frequent provider discrimination, significantly increased the odds of reporting delayed or unmet medical needs in the past year compared to reporting no or smaller problems. The results suggest that while health insurance expands access, it does not guarantee access to care or eliminate disparities, foreshadowing challenges that may arise under the Affordable Care Act.
Do you make some of your money locally, and some of your money remotely, or online?
If you answered “yes” to this question, then you’re Semi-Local.
In October 2011, we surveyed 153 people; 107 were already Semi-Local, and 46 aspired to be.
We asked questions to find out what was really involved in becoming and being Semi-Local.
This report contains their answers to those questions.
This document profiles Minnesota's uninsured population and informs outreach for Medicaid expansion and Affordable Care Act subsidies. It finds that:
1) Nearly half a million Minnesotans lack insurance, including many younger, lower-income, and non-white residents.
2) Outreach should target the large number of potentially Medicaid-eligible Latinos and subsidy-eligible African Americans.
3) While most uninsured want coverage, many do not know how to enroll or find the process too difficult. Simplifying enrollment may improve take-up of new options.
The document discusses the CPWF's efforts to mainstream gender throughout its research for development approach and activities. It outlines how the CPWF has moved from viewing gender as a box to tick to taking a more holistic gender transformative approach, supported by leadership.

This document discusses the ongoing global talent crisis faced by employers. Some key points:
1) Over one-third of employers have difficulty finding qualified talent, and this problem is becoming more severe over time as economies improve.
2) While some employers are taking steps like increased training to address talent shortages, many have grown complacent in believing the problem will not impact their business.
3) Developing a comprehensive workforce strategy aligned with business goals is presented as the best way for employers to solve current talent problems and prepare for future shortages as economies continue recovering.
This document discusses a consumer survey on fast food trends. It finds that while the percentage of adults eating fast food four or more times a month is decreasing from 2005 levels, fast food remains popular due to low prices and convenience. McDonald's continues to be the most frequented chain but changing consumption patterns may challenge fast food companies. Reasons for patronage focus more on price and speed than food quality or healthfulness.
The 2011 Edelman Trust Barometer found that globally, trust increased in all institutions. Emerging markets like China and Brazil saw the largest increases in trust in business and government. The U.S. saw declines in trust across all institutions, similar to declines seen during the 2008-2009 financial crisis. Trust in NGOs is now on par with trust in business in emerging markets. Quality, transparency, employee welfare, and being a trustworthy company are the most important factors for corporate reputation. While CEOs increased in credibility as spokespeople, a "person like me" declined. Online search engines and news are now the primary sources for company information. Repetition increases believability, and an already trusted company needs less
The 2011 Edelman Trust Barometer found that globally, trust increased in all institutions. Emerging markets like China and Brazil saw the largest increases in trust in business and government. The US dropped significantly in trust in all institutions and now has similar trust levels as Russia. Technology was the most trusted industry globally while banks had the lowest trust levels. Quality, transparency, honesty, employee welfare and frequent communication were seen as most important for corporate reputation. People now rely more on search engines, online news, and hearing information multiple times from credentialed sources to determine what they believe about companies. Maintaining trust is important for protecting corporate reputation.
1. The 2011 Edelman Trust Barometer found that globally, trust increased in all institutions - business, government, media, and NGOs.
2. Trust was highest in emerging markets like Brazil and China, while trust dropped in developed countries like the US, now on par with Russia.
3. NGOs are now equally or more trusted than business in most countries, seen as more credible spokespeople than traditional authorities like government and media.

Quantitative research included a survey of 1,000 adults examining current and potential future engagement with charities. Qualitative research involved focus groups with those currently and not currently volunteering.

The Brand Impact of Cause Marketing in Ireland 2018Amarach Research
This document discusses the case for cause marketing. It finds that Irish consumers have a high level of awareness of brands that support causes, with 84% aware of at least one partnership. It also finds that supporting causes increases positive feelings towards brands and loyalty. Specifically, 62% of 16-24 year olds feel more positive towards brands supporting social causes. Over 40% of Irish consumers are more likely to stay loyal to brands that support causes or charities. Cause marketing can thus increase brand awareness, positive associations, and loyalty.
The document summarizes the findings of Amárach Research's monthly Economic Recovery Index survey conducted between April 2009 and June 2018. It finds that the Economic Recovery Index, which measures Irish consumers' views on the state of the economy on a scale from 0-100, has reached its highest level ever of 47.4 in June 2018, indicating Irish consumers may have emerged from a "reluctant recovery." Negative emotions among Irish consumers appear to still be high despite economic improvements, suggesting gains are not translating to meaningful benefits for many. Overall, the outlook for Irish consumer spending in the second half of 2018 is strong.
The document reports on Ireland's Economic Recovery Index from April 2009 to May 2018. It finds that while the index and economic conditions have greatly improved from the deepest recession in 2010, levels of stress, worry and anxiety among Irish citizens have remained high or gotten worse. Consumer sentiment and spending are also improving but the nation's overall emotional wellbeing has yet to fully recover, suggesting economic gains are not translating to meaningful benefits for many. The outlook for strong consumer spending in Ireland remains over the rest of 2018 however.
We have been tracking the economic and emotional wellbeing of the Irish nation every month for the past 9 years. The good news is that our economic wellbeing is clearly getting better, the bad news is that our emotional wellbeing appears to be getting worse...
Our monthly index of Irish consumer spending, saving and borrowing intentions has reached an all time high nearly 9 years after we started measuring the mood of the nation.

- Framing the levy positively increased support for reusable cups up to 3.4%, while multiple positive interventions could increase reuse up to 12.5%.
The document summarizes the results of Amárach Research's monthly Economic Recovery Index survey from April 2009 to February 2018. It finds that in February 2018, Ireland's Economic Recovery Index reached its highest level ever, indicating the economic situation is improving. Consumer sentiment is also improving - Irish consumers are more willing than ever to borrow and are less focused on debt repayment. Overall, the renewed optimism in consumer sentiment suggests strong consumer spending growth in Ireland over the rest of 2018.
The document summarizes key findings from a report by Amárach Research on the Irish pharmacy market. It finds that Irish consumers will spend over €1.2 billion in pharmacies in 2018, and this figure is expected to grow substantially in the coming years. Pharmacy customers tend to be loyal, with local independent pharmacies receiving the highest net promoter scores. The average customer spends €37 per month on health, beauty, and medical products, with over-55s spending the most. The report forecasts continued growth in the pharmacy sector due to an aging population and increased spending on health and beauty products traditionally sold through pharmacies.

This report analyzes loyalty marketing trends in Ireland based on a survey of 12,000 Irish adults. It finds that while most Irish adults belong to multiple loyalty programs, penetration varies significantly between brands. Loyalty program membership is stable over time and higher for older established brands. Different programs attract varying demographic profiles, and program membership has been shown to substantially increase customer loyalty metrics like Net Promoter Score. The report recommends that marketers focus on measuring the impact of their loyalty programs and ensuring programs reach their desired audiences.
Wellbeing and Decision Making in Everyday Life - UCD and Amárach Research 2018Amarach Research
This document summarizes research using the Day Reconstruction Method to study well-being and decision-making in everyday life. The study collected data from over 900 Irish participants about their activities, locations, emotions, social interactions, and experiences of desires and self-control over the previous day.

Things are tough for Irish
families, and they are about to
get tougher.
The RTE Frontline/Irish Daily

growing minority of Irish adults
are ‘running out of road’ in terms
of their financial wellbeing.
The impact of Budget 2012 on
citizens, taxpayers and
consumers will play a significant
part in our economic prospects
next year.
