650-651-02 Nearly 4 in 5 Pakistanis (83%) consider work to be an important part of

all (Click for Details) (Pakistan) According to a World Values Survey and Gallup
& Gilani Pakistan, 83% Pakistanis consider work to be an important part
of their lives while 8% say work is not important at all. A representative
sample of men and women from across the four provinces was asked, “How
important is work in your life?” In response, 63% said work is very
important, another 20% said it is rather important, 8% said not very
important while 8% said work is not important at all. The question was asked
previously between 1994-1998 and 68% Pakistanis then said very important
while between 1999-2004, 60% claimed that work is very important. Proportion
of Pakistanis claiming that work is very important rose between 1994 and
2014. (Gallup Pakistan) August 10, 2020 3.3

level of corruption in the country has increased and the government is doing
a poor job of fighting it, a stark reversal from positive assessments three
years ago, a new Afrobarometer study shows. Among a
variety of key formal and informal leaders, all are seen as plagued by
widespread corruption by a significant proportion of the population. Among
Nigerians who had contact with selected public services during the past year,
substantial proportions say they had to pay a bribe to obtain the services
they needed. The most frequent experience of paying a bribe was among
citizens who sought assistance from the police. (NOI Polls) August 06, 2020 4.9 Society » Justice |

650-651-06 Impact of the quarantine imposed
in the UK on travelers from Spain
(Click
for Details) (Spain) Last Saturday, July 26, the British Government announced by surprise
the obligation to carry out a 14-day quarantine to any person entering the
United Kingdom from Spain. This fact caused a strong alarm in the Spanish
tourism industry if we consider that in our country we receive more than 18
million British tourists a year. We have looked at the data provided by the
Profiles and DestinationIndex tools to see how
tourists from the United Kingdom are in Spain, as well as the impact that the
announcement of the Executive of Boris Johnson has had on the Spain brand as
a tourist destination, using the opinion of the UK population about other
European countries, as well as about their own country. (YouGov) August 03, 2020 4.7 Society » Morality, Values &

while 12% are favourable, according to the latest
Ipsos MORI Political Monitor. Mr Trump’s low favourability scores are slightly worse compared with two
years ago when 68% were unfavourable and 19% favourable, but are slightly better than his ratings in
2016. Britons however have less strong feelings towards former Vice President

other hand, just 6% of Brits have backed an environment-focused charity over
the same period. Who is more likely to donate, however? YouGov Profiles

650-651-15 Which Brits are social media ‘stalkers’?
(Click for Details) (UK) One in six Brits say they’ve “stalked” someone on
social media – that is to say, researched someone surreptitiously online.
It’s tempting to use social media platforms to take a sneak peek at the
personal life of a colleague, an ex-partner, or even to vet future
housemates. But how many Brits say admit that they’ve ‘stalked’ someone on
social media? Overall, one in six (17%) of Britons agree that they have been
known to ‘stalk’ through social media, while 78% say they have not. Who are
these curious 17%? YouGov Profiles reveals that younger women are the most
likely to be using social media to check out others – with the plurality (the
largest group, but one that is not a majority) of social media ‘stalkers’
(21% of overall stalkers) being women aged from 25 to 34. (YouGov) August

coronavirus crisis has changed their priorities, with outdoor space and home
offices now more important. Months of lockdown and fears over a second
coronavirus wave have prompted Britons looking to buy a new home within the
next year to re-evaluate their priorities. A third of buyers (32%) say the
pandemic has made having a garden more important to them – the largest
increase in the survey. One in seven buyers (14%) also now see a balcony or
terrace as more important. This figure is higher among first-timers (18%) who
tend to have less spending power than people who already own a property
(11%). (YouGov) August

650-651-19 One in Five Canadians Don’t Trust Any Business when it comes to their Health and Safety (Click for Details) (Canada) A new study by Ipsos finds trust is low, along
with a high willingness to halt visiting locations not meeting the mark. As
Canadians begin to resume more and more of their day-to-day lives and as
areas of the country enter phase 3 and 4, consumer trust in businesses to
keep them safe from COVID-19 is low.
According to a study conducted by Ipsos, 1 in 5 Canadians don’t trust
any industry for their cleanliness and safety protocols, a slight increase
from May, when 1 in 4 indicated a lack of trust. With a wide variance in
regulations across the country, including from one municipality to the next,
the challenge for businesses to meet customer and employee expectations for
safety measures, and communicate these appropriately, is immense. (Ipsos) July 29, 2020 3.2 Economy » Consumer Confidence/Protection |

the #MeToo movement as a national phenomenon in 2017, and it remains at that
level today. Just over half of U.S. adults, 54%, are now very or somewhat
satisfied with the treatment of women, down roughly 10 percentage points from
2015-2016 and well below the 67% to 72% range found previously between 2001
and 2013. Today's level of satisfaction nearly matches the 53% recorded in
late 2018, after allegations of sexual harassment or assault that toppled a
number of prominent men in media, entertainment and business. (Gallup USA) August 13, 2020 4.5 Society » Gender Issues |

close, the next question for health professionals, policymakers and political
leaders will be Americans' willingness to be vaccinated once a vaccine is
ready. But many Americans appear reluctant to be vaccinated, even if a
vaccine were FDA-approved and available to them at no cost. Asked if they
would get such a COVID-19 vaccine, 65% say they would, but 35% would not.
Eighty-one percent of Democrats are willing to be vaccinated today if a free and
FDA-approved vaccine were available. That compares with 59% of independents

more new infections in the country, not just because more people are being
tested compared with previous months. Around four-in-ten (39%) say the
increase is primarily the result of more people being tested, according to
the survey. Most Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (62%) say
the primary reason for the rise in confirmed cases is that more people are
being tested. (PEW) August 14, 2020 4.11 Society » Health |

into how the restrictions have affected people's holiday plans in the UK,
France, Germany, Denmark and Sweden. While the majority of European tourists
would cancel their holiday plans if they were to be quarantined on return
(65-84%), it is even less appealing to Europeans to be quarantined on arrival
at their holiday destination. Nine out of ten travelers in the UK, Germany,
Denmark and Sweden (89-93%) would either possibly or definitely cancel their
plans if they were to be quarantined on arrival, while this applies to 76% of

One in Three Americans Would Not
Get COVID-19 Vaccine
But many Americans appear reluctant to be vaccinated, even if a vaccine were FDA-approved and available to them at no cost. Asked if they would get such a COVID-19 vaccine, 65% say they would, but 35% would not. The results are based on July 20-Aug. 2 polling in Gallup's COVID-19 tracking survey, conducted with members of Gallup's probability-based panel. While Gallup has consistently seen that U.S. party preferences play a strong role in Americans' views on COVID-19, the new poll extends that to willingness to be vaccinated. Eighty-one percent of Democrats are willing to be vaccinated today if a free and FDA-approved vaccine were available. That compares with 59% of independents and just under half of Republicans, 47%. Americans' Willingness to Take an FDA Approved, No Cost Vaccine for COVID-19 If an FDA-approved vaccine to prevent coronavirus/COVID-19 was available right now at no cost, would you agree to be vaccinated?
Older Americans have been most likely to have serious complications, including death, from COVID-19. Yet, young people are still affected, and an increasing proportion of new infections are occurring among younger adults, possibly because this age group is engaging in riskier behaviors that are promoting the spread of the disease. Given the age-related risks seen to date, it may come as good news to public health officials that 76% of adults aged 18-29 are willing to get a COVID-19 vaccination, as are 70% of senior citizens. Willingness to be vaccinated is lower among the middle-aged groups -- 64% among those 30-49 years old and 59% among those between 50 and 64. Slight Majority of Non-White and Rural Americans Would Get Vaccine While party affiliation likely explains many of the differences seen in willingness to be vaccinated, there are differences by race that defy the partisan patterns. White Americans are significantly more likely than non-White Americans to say they would be vaccinated if a free FDA-approved version were available -- 67% vs. 59%, respectively. This is particularly noteworthy, given media reports on the pandemic noting that Black and Latino Americans have been disproportionately affected by COVID-19. Those living in rural areas appear to be less eager than their more urban counterparts to take advantage of a vaccine. Just 56% of those living in a rural area say they would get vaccinated. This may be concerning to public health officials, as the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has pointed out that "long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put some rural residents at increased risk of getting COVID-19 or having severe illness." In contrast, more than six in 10 Americans living in more urban areas such as a large city (65%) or a suburb of a large city (69%) -- both of which were associated with early hot spots for the virus -- would be willing to take a vaccine. Those in small towns or villages are on par with their more urban counterparts, with 68% on board for a vaccine. More Than a Third of Employed Americans Unwilling to Take Vaccine Of potential interest to employers who are counting on a vaccine to get workers back into the workplace is the finding that employed Americans are roughly as likely as the public at large to say they would get vaccinated if they had the option. Similar to workplaces, schools are also grappling with how and when to get students back into the classroom, with vaccination being the ultimate tool for keeping the virus at bay. While the survey did not ask parents about their willingness to have their children vaccinated, it may be instructive to know that parents themselves lag behind the general public in willingness to be vaccinated themselves. Just 59% of parents of children under 18 say they would agree to be vaccinated, while 41% would not. Implications As the situation stands today, the nation's influencers -- including health professionals, policymakers and leaders -- who see a vaccine as a way forward may have their work cut out for them in persuading Americans to take advantage of such an option. Policymakers in government, healthcare, industry and education will need to anticipate that a significant proportion of the population will be hesitant to get a vaccine, even at no cost. Some of the most at-risk populations, including non-White and rural Americans, may not only be hesitant but resistant to getting vaccinated. Employers continuing to grapple with new workplace realities must also anticipate that a number of their workers may resist a vaccine. Such resistance is not unprecedented. When Gallup in 1954 asked U.S. adults who had heard or read about the then-new polio vaccine, "Would you like to take this new polio vaccine (to keep people from getting polio) yourself?" just 60% said they would, while 31% said they would not. So far, willingness to adopt a new vaccine looks similar today. Leaders in favor of a vaccine may be well-served to study what caused the public to ultimately adopt earlier vaccines as they consider how best to influence Americans to take advantage of such an option now.
