Regarding work, 45 percent of women worried about losing their job, which was slightly more than for the men.
As a result of the Coronavirus pandemic, do you think you are now more likely to do the following than you did before the crisis started in 2020?
The sample consists of
approximately 1,000 individuals in
each of Australia, Belgium, Brazil,
Canada, mainland China, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Italy,
Japan, Spain, and the U.S., and
500 individuals in each of
Argentina, Chile, Hungary, Hong
Kong, India, Israel, Malaysia,
Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru,
Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia,
South Africa, South Korea,
Sweden, and Turkey
The samples in Argentina,
Australia, Belgium, Canada,
France, Germany, Great Britain,
Hungary, Italy, Japan, the
Netherlands, Poland, South
Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the
U.S. can be taken as
representative of their general
adult population under the age of
75.
The samples in Brazil, Chile,
mainland China, India, Israel,
Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Russia,
Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and
Turkey are more urban, more
educated, and/or more affluent
than the general population. The
survey results for these markets
should be viewed as reflecting the
views of the more “connected”
segment of their population.
The data is weighted so that each
country’s sample composition
best reflects the demographic
profile of the adult population
according to the most recent
census data.
