“India has been cautiously forging ahead in the pandemic. Though India ranks high in terms of the overall level of optimism, COVID19 continues to remain our top issue. Interestingly, the second issue- unemployment & jobs– garners almost a similar score as COVID19, indicating people are showing an equal concern on the pandemic itself and the economic fallout of the pandemic. The government has the tough task of managing a delicate balance between managing infections by delaying full scale relaxation and the impact of curtailed economic activity on employment generation,“ said Amit Adarkar, CEO, Ipsos India.

 

Technical Note

Full results available on:

https://www.ipsos.com/ipsos-mori/en-uk.

The survey was conducted in 27 countries around the world via the Ipsos Online Panel system. The 27 countries included are Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France, Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and the United States of America.

20,085 interviews were conducted between August 21st 2020 and September 4th 2020 among adults aged 18-74 in the US, South Africa, Turkey, Israel and Canada and age 16-74 in all other countries. Data are weighted to match the profile of the population.

In 16 of the 27 countries surveyed, internet penetration is sufficiently high to think of the samples as representative of the wider population within the age ranges covered: Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Japan, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Great Britain and United States.  The remaining 11 countries surveyed: Brazil, Chile, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Russia, Peru, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Turkey have lower levels of internet penetration and so these samples should instead be considered to represent a more affluent, connected population. These are still a vital Social group to understand in these countries, representing an important and emerging middle class.
