648-649-04 Majority of Angolans see
risk of retaliation if they report corruption, Afrobarometer
survey shows (Click for Details) (Angola) Despite appeals by the
president and attorney general to join the national crusade against
corruption, a majority of Angolans believe that
reporting corruption cases carries risks of retaliation or other negative
consequences, according to Afrobarometer’s first
survey in the country. Survey findings show that Angolans are divided in
their views on other aspects of the fight against corruption, including
whether corruption levels have increased or decreased, whether President Joăo
Lourenço is using the issue to get rid of political
opponents, and whether corruption charges stemming from before 2017 should be
dropped to promote the country’s political stability. (Afrobarometer) July 30, 2020 4.9 Society » Justice |

648-649-07 One in six read all Harry Potter books
(Click

the character Harry Potter celebrates his 40th birthday. YouGov asked the
Germans about the fictional character and the books by British author JK
Rowling. Every sixth German (15 percent) has read all seven Harry Potter
books. 11 percent have read several, but two thirds of those surveyed (67
percent) have not read any of the British author's books. That the books
exert a fascination on their readers is shown by the fact that 36 percent of
those surveyed who have read at least one of the Harry Potter books have
enjoyed reading it several times. This is what most respondents say between
the ages of 18 and 24 (51 percent) and between 25 and 34 years (49 percent). (YouGov)

changed during the health crisis: more than two in three French people (67%)

(UK) Talk of changing leaders doesn't wash with
Tory members, the vast majority of whom approve of Johnson's record to date.
It has now been over a year since the Conservative Party membership delivered
Boris Johnson a landslide victory over Jeremy Hunt in the leadership
election, and ultimately the keys to Downing Street. To see what they think
about that decision with the benefit of hindsight, YouGov has surveyed party

the Centre for Ageing Better to understand the impact lockdown has had on
those in their 50s and 60s. The findings reveal how the pandemic has changed
people’s lives and their plans for the future. Around a fifth of individuals
aged 50 – 70 years have seen their physical health deteriorate during the
pandemic and over one-third have said that is the case for their mental
health. A trend which has been more acute among those who are more
vulnerable. (Ipsos MORI) July 30, 2020 3.3 Economy » Employment Issues |

This year, the long-standing inequities faced by ethnic minority populations
have been revealed to a wider audience, and today it is a virus that is
splitting the country. Office of National Statistics (ONS) data reports more
than 600,000 redundancies, with more to come, a 125% increase in unemployment
claimants, a 60% drop in job vacancies between March and May 2020 and in-work
poverty on the increase. So far, it is
younger generations, women and low earners who have been most sharply
affected, being several times more likely than average to have lost their job
due to lockdown. (Ipsos MORI) July 24, 2020 3.3 Economy » Employment Issues |

nearly three-in-ten young people are neither working nor in school (Click for Details) (USA) As COVID-19 cases have surged in the United
States, young adults face a weakening labor market and an uncertain
educational outlook. Between February and June 2020, the share of young
adults who are neither enrolled in school nor employed – a measure some refer
to as the “disconnection rate” – has more than doubled, according to a new
analysis of Census Bureau data by Pew Research Center. Most of the increase
is related to job loss among young workers. (PEW) July 29,

One in five Britons have given to charity
in the last three months Despite the coronavirus crisis tightening
many purse strings across the country, one in five Britons have donated to a
charity in the past three months, according to data from YouGov Profiles.
These donors were more likely to have given
money as an ad hoc event (51%) than as part of a regular donation schedule
(43%). One in nine (11%) gave ad hoc donations as well as having structured
contributions. Donors’ personal income levels are largely
identical to those of the population as a whole. Approaching half of donors
(46%) have between £1 and £499 a month in disposable income, compared to 42%
of all Britons.
Charity-givers are most likely to have been
donating money to health/medicine charities (30%) and animal charities (27%).
A further one in five (20%) donate to children and youth charities.
In terms of noticeable attitudinal
differences, donors are more likely to agree with the statements “I make an
effort to support local business” (75%, compared to 67% of the general
population) and “I try to buy products made in my home country (64% vs 56% of
all Britons). (YouGov) July 30, 2020 |

Millions of Americans Are About
to Lose Their Homes, According to
a Census Bureau survey Measuring Household Experiences
during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic What is the Household Pulse
Survey? The U.S. Census Bureau, in
collaboration with five federal agencies, is in a unique position to produce
data on the social and economic effects of COVID-19 on American households. The Household Pulse Survey is designed
to deploy quickly and efficiently, collecting data to measure household
experiences during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Data will be
disseminated in near real-time to inform federal and state response and
recovery planning. What information will the
Household Pulse Survey collect? The Household Pulse Survey will ask
individuals about their experiences in terms of employment status, spending
patterns, food security, housing, physical and mental health, access to
health care, and educational disruption. The questionnaire is a result of
collaboration between the U.S. Census Bureau and the USDA Economic Research
Service (ERS), the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the National Center for
Health Statistics (NCHS), the National Center for Education Statistics
(NCES), and the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The data collected will enable the
Census Bureau to produce statistics at a state level and for the 15 largest
Metropolitan Statistical Areas (MSAs). The survey also is designed to
be longitudinal: data will provide insights with regard to how
household experiences changed during the pandemic. When will Data be Made
Available from the Household Pulse Survey? Data collection for the Household
Pulse Survey began on April 23, 2020. The Census Bureau will collect
data for 90 days, and release data on a weekly basis. (For the first
release, the Census Bureau anticipates it will take two weeks after the first
week of data collection to prepare and weight the data; subsequent releases
will then be made on a weekly basis.) How is the Household Pulse
Survey Different from Other Surveys Conducted by the Census Bureau? The Census Bureau and its federal
statistical partners are considered the preeminent source of the nation's
most important benchmark surveys. Many of these surveys have been
ongoing for more than 80 years and provide valuable insight on social and
economic trends. The production of these benchmark
surveys is by nature a highly deliberative process. While efforts are
underway to introduce COVID-19 questions into these surveys, that process can
take months, sometimes years, before data are made available. The approach for the Household Pulse
Survey is different: It is designed to be a short-turnaround instrument
that will provide valuable data to aid in the post-pandemic recovery. The
Census Bureau is fielding the Household Pulse Survey as a demonstration
project that is part of the Experimental Data Product series. (United States Census Bureau) July
