Ghanaians Willing To Pay Taxes But Find
It Difficult To Know How Tax Revenues Are Used (Click for Details) (Ghana) Ghanaians endorse taxation
and are even willing to pay higher taxes to support the country’s
development, a new Afrobarometer study shows. However, a majority of citizens
say it is difficult to find out what taxes and fees they are supposed to pay
and how the government uses tax revenues. The analysis finds that citizens
are more supportive of taxation if they believe the government is doing a
good job of delivering basic services. But many citizens also express
mistrust of tax authorities and see widespread corruption among tax
officials. (Afrobarometer) 12 Apr

686-07 84% Labor Members Think The Tories
Would Win The Most Seats If A General
Election Were Held In The Immediate Future (Click for Details) (UK) With the
Conservatives enjoying a consistent lead in voting intention polling, it is
perhaps unsurprising that the latest YouGov polling of Labour party members
shows that 84% think the Tories would win the most seats if a general
election were held in the immediate future. This includes almost a third
(29%) who believe that the Conservatives would win a “large” majority if an
election were happening tomorrow. Four in ten (40%) believe that the result
would be a “small Conservative majority”, while a further 15% think that it
would be a “hung parliament, with the Conservatives ending up forming a
government”.

help fight it. While 7 in 10 Britons (71%) say they understand what they need
to do to help the fight, we examine how accurate their perceptions are. .

energy from renewable sources (45%) and replacing a typical car with an
electric or hybrid vehicle (39%). (Ipsos MORI) 17 April 2021 4.14 Society » Environment |

46% of Singaporeans, 30% of Australians, 27% of French , 24% of British and

One-Third Of Asian Americans Fear Threats, Physical Attacks And Most
Say Violence Against Them Is Rising
The new survey was
conducted April 5 to 11, after the fatal shooting of six Asian
women and two other people in the Atlanta area on March 16 and assaults on Asian
Americans that
occurred that same month (Asian adults were interviewed in English only).
President Joe Biden spoke out against anti-Asian
discrimination and violence a few days after the shooting. Overall, 45% of Asian
adults say they have experienced at least one of five specific offensive
incidents since the start of the coronavirus outbreak. At the same time, 32%
say someone has expressed support for them since the start of the pandemic. Some 27% say people
acted as if they were uncomfortable around them, down from 39% who said the
same in June 2020. Another 27% say they have been subject to slurs or jokes,
the same share as in 2020. Meanwhile, lower shares say someone has made a
remark that they should go back to their home country (16%) or that they are
to blame for the coronavirus outbreak (14%). Asian respondents who
say violence against their group in the U.S. is increasing give many reasons
for the rise, according to an open-ended question in which people responded
in their own words. Some 20% directly cited former President Donald Trump and
his rhetoric about China as the source of the pandemic, his racist comments
or his labeling the coronavirus as the “kung flu” or “Chinese flu” as one of
the reasons for the rise in violence. Some 16% cited racism in the United
States against Asian people as the source of violence, and another 15% said
the rise in violence is due to COVID-19 and its impacts on the nation. An
additional 12% said scapegoating and blaming Asian people for the pandemic
has been responsible for the rise in violence against the U.S. Asian
population. About three-in-ten Asian respondents who say violence against
their group in the U.S. is increasing (29%) did not provide an answer to the
open-ended question. Some cited several
reasons together for the rise in violence against Asian people in the U.S.
One respondent said, “Four years of Trump has normalized racism and bullying.
His continual example of blaming Asians for the coronavirus is allowing
people to openly discriminate against Asian[s].” Another respondent mentioned
that “they are blaming Asians for the coronavirus pandemic, thinking they
bring this to our country.” And a third respondent cited “a mix of
coronavirus news and its origins in China coupled with talks regarding racial
inequality. Asians are not accepted as people of color as they are seen as
the model minority, but also are seen as foreign because they are not White.”
The nation’s Asian
population recorded the fastest growth rate among all racial
and ethnic groups in the United States between 2000 and 2019. Asian Americans
are also the fastest growing racial or ethnic
group in the U.S. electorate. Numbering more than 20 million, the Asian
population in the United States is a diverse group, with origins from
more than 20 countries in East and Southeast Asia and the Indian
subcontinent. Experiences with
discrimination among Asian adults were widely reported before the pandemic.
About three-in-four Asian Americans (73%) say they have personally
experienced discrimination or been treated unfairly because of their race or
ethnicity, according to the April 2021 Pew Research Center survey. This share
is unchanged from June 2020 and is about the same as prior to the pandemic,
when 76% of Asian adults in February 2019 said they had personally
experienced discrimination or unfair treatment because of their race or
ethnicity.
The April survey also
found that Asian adults are more likely to express fear over discrimination
than other groups. About a third (32%) say they fear someone might threaten
or physically attack them, a greater share than among Black adults (21%),
Hispanic adults (16%) or White adults (8%). Asian Americans are
about as likely as Black adults to say they have been subject to slurs or
jokes since the start of the pandemic (27% and 24%, respectively), and more
Asian adults say this than Hispanic (19%) and White (9%) adults. By contrast,
about four-in-ten Black adults (41%) say people have acted uncomfortable
around them since the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, a greater share than
Asian (27%), Hispanic (27%) and White (17%) adults who report the same.
Similar shares of
Asian (16%), Black (15%) and Hispanic (16%) adults say someone has remarked
that they should go back to their home country since the start of the
pandemic. Just 2% of White adults say this has happened to them. While about one-third
(32%) of Asian adults say someone has expressed support for them because of
their race or ethnicity since the pandemic began, a higher share (49%) of
Black adults say this. Since the start of the
outbreak, 52% of Black adults, 45% of Asian adults and 39% of Hispanic adults
report experiencing at least one of the four incidents asked about in the
survey. By comparison, 24% of White adults report the same. An early 2021 Pew
Research Center survey found a majority (71%) of
U.S. adults see
a lot or some discrimination against Asian people, a share similar to the
public’s assessments for Black people and Hispanic people. And at the
beginning of Biden’s presidency, another Center survey found a majority of
Asian Americans did not feel like they would gain influence in Washington
with the new president. (PEW) APRIL 21, 2021 |
