METHODOLOGY

▪ 2020: 27 countries, 19,516 participants, 24 July–7 August 2020 (online):

Argentina, Australia*, Belgium, Brazil*, Canada*, Chile, China*, France*, Germany*, Great Britain*, Hungary, India,

Italy*, Japan*, Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea,

Serbia, Spain*, Sweden, Turkey and the United States of America* * denotes 1,000+ sample size

▪ 2019: 28 countries, 26 July–9 August 2019:

Argentina, Australia*, Belgium, Brazil, Canada*, Chile, China*, Colombia, France*, Germany*, Great Britain *,

Hungary, India*, Italy*, Japan*, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea,

Serbia, Spain*, Sweden, Turkey and the United States of America* * denotes 1,000+ sample size

▪ Participants were adults aged 18-64 in the US and Canada, and adults aged 16-64 in all other countries.

▪ Results may not sum to 100% and combinations to their constituent %s (e.g. very/fairly satisfied) due to computer

rounding.

▪ The 2016-2019 surveys used the same methodology, but the profile of participating countries changed. This means that

the global trend does not always involve a like-for-like comparison.

▪ A selection of trends is included. Further information is available:
