Of Municipalities Not Gearing Up To
Handle Calamity; Japan Earthquake (Click for
Details) (Japan) Nearly 40 percent of municipalities remain woefully underprepared to
grapple with the prospect of widespread reconstruction from a natural
disaster, according to a survey by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure,
Transport and Tourism. The central government is pushing local authorities to
develop reconstruction strategies before disaster strikes, citing the
experience of towns, cities and villages in northeastern Japan devastated by
the magnitude-9.0 Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami 11 years ago. (Asahi Shimbun) March 2, 2022 4.14 Society » Disasters |

Koreans Vote For President In Tight,
Bitter Election (Click for

for a new president Wednesday, with an outspoken liberal ruling party
candidate and a conservative former prosecutor considered the favorites in a
tight race that has aggravated domestic divisions. Pre-election surveys
showed liberal Lee Jae-myung, a former governor of South Korea’s most
populous Gyeonggi province, and his main conservative challenger,
ex-prosecutor general Yoon Suk Yeol, with neck-and-neck support, way ahead of
10 other contenders. The winner will take office in May and serve a single
five-year term as leader of the world’s 10th-largest economy. (Asahi Shimbun) March 9, 2022 1.1 Domestic Politics » Elections |

Out Of 10 Women Cannot Participate In
Working Life Without Getting Permission From Their Husbands (Click for Details) (Turkey) Even today, 7 out of 10 women say that they cannot participate in
working life without the permission of their husbands and family, and because
they do not have economic independence, they cannot be decision-makers both
inside and outside the home. In addition, the opinion that women are exposed
to discrimination in business life is a very dominant opinion. 65% of women
think they are discriminated against at work, do not have equal rights to
promotions and 55% think they are paid less than men for the same job.
Although the participation rate of men in these issues is lower, in general,
half of the men have a similar opinion with women. (Ipsos Turkey) 7 March 2022 4.5 Society » Gender Issues |

Will Continue To Wear Masks No Matter What Happens Indoors (Click for Details) (Turkey) While 6 out of 10 people evaluate the decision to remove the obligation
to wear masks in open areas as correct, removing the mask requirement in
closed areas when social distance or ventilation is sufficient is considered
a wrong decision by more than half of the society. And 67% of individuals say
that they already wear masks in closed places and will continue to wear them.
However, the rate of those who do not wear masks or who say they will no
longer wear masks is not low. 1 out of every 4 people states that they will
not wear a mask in such places. Only 1/3 of the society thinks that the HEPP
code will not be requested both when entering closed areas and for travels
such as buses and planes, only 1/3 of the society is the right decision. (Ipsos Turkey) 15 March 2022 4.11 Society » Health |

still a long way off from “the economy” (50%).The shift took place last week,
when concern surged to 32% from 12% the prior week. These figures are the

nuclear war (43%), climate change (42%) and a pandemic (30%) were seen as the
three most likely causes of our annihilation. But following the outbreak of
war in Ukraine and renewed questions about the nuclear threat posed by
Vladimir Putin, new data shows the British public have become far more likely
to see nuclear war as a top probable cause of human extinction. Six in 10
Britons (61%) now think nuclear war is one of the most likely ways the human
race will end, a rise of 18 points since our prior survey on 21-23 January.
All other causes remain effectively unchanged, leaving climate change in a

“sorry we didn't do it yesterday, one week ago… We did nothing and it's true,

military aid being sent to Ukraine, is enough to stop the Russians from

Practiced Skiing (Click for Details) (France) If
the mountain seems to be a key destination for the French in winter, more
than one in two (53%) say they never go there. The destination is therefore
not popular with a majority of French people, only 1 in 3 (34%) say they go
there from time to time, and it is a tradition for only 13%, who say they go
there every year. Young people (22% of 16-24 year olds) and Parisians (19%)
are the most likely to go to the mountains in winter. But even if 34% of
French people occasionally go to the mountains in winter, it is not always to
go skiing. (Ipsos France) March 1, 2022 4.16 Society » Entertainment |

732-734-42 The Majority Of Germans Do Not Know The Minimum Holding Period When
Buying E-Cars (Click for Details) (Germany) In
order to achieve the climate goals that have been set and the desired
turnaround in traffic, switching to an electric car must also be financially
attractive for consumers. Therefore, the German state is currently promoting
the purchase of an e-car with a bonus of up to 9,000 euros, which is paid out
after registration. This means that the subsidy must be repaid by the
consumer if the vehicle is sold again before six months have elapsed. Only
slightly more than every fourth German is aware of this fact (27 percent),
men more often than women (35 percent vs. 19 percent). However, 60 percent of
all respondents were not aware of this fact before the survey. (YouGov Germany) March 15, 2022 3.11 Economy » Science &

732-734-43 Energy Supply Is The Most Important Issue For Germans, Ahead Of
Environmental Protection (Click for Details) (Germany) In
Germany, the increased prices for fuel, heating, etc. are currently on
everyone's lips. The federal government wants to relieve consumers of the
sharp rise in costs with packages of measures. Currently, 17 percent of
German citizens who are entitled to vote say that the energy supply (e.g.
electricity, gas) is the most important issue that politicians in Germany
should concern themselves with. This value has risen significantly in recent
weeks: in mid-December, only 3 percent made this statement. The energy supply
has thus currently overtaken environmental and climate protection, which has
been the most important issue for Germans since February 2021 that
politicians should concern themselves with. (YouGov Germany) March 16, 2022 3.10 Economy » Energy Issues |

Rising
Share Of Americans See Women Raising Children On Their Own, Cohabitation As
Bad For Society
Some 47% of U.S.
adults say single women raising children on their own is generally a bad
thing for society, an increase of 7 percentage points from the 40% who said
the same in a 2018 Center survey. A smaller share (43%) says it doesn’t make
a difference, and just 10% of adults say it is good for society. The share of births to
unmarried women has remained relatively stable over the past
decade, after increasing steadily from 1980 to
around 2009. In 2020, that share was 41%, about double the percentage from 40
years ago. Views on single
motherhood differ somewhat by race and ethnicity. About half of White and
Asian adults (49% each) say single women raising children alone is bad for
society, compared with a smaller share of Hispanic adults (39%). Some 46% of
Black adults say the same. Since 2018, White adults have had the largest increase
in the share saying this is bad for society – up 8 points from 41%. Among
Black and Hispanic adults, the shares saying single women raising children on
their own is bad for society didn’t change significantly from 2018. The
sample size for Asian adults in 2018 was not large enough to analyze
separately.
Gender is strongly
related to perspectives on single women raising children alone. A majority of
men (59%) say single motherhood is bad for society, compared with 37% of
women. In contrast, women are more likely than men to say women raising
children on their own generally doesn’t make much of a difference for society
(50% of women vs. 34% of men). However, the share of both men and women
saying this is bad for society has increased since 2018 (up 9 points for men
and 7 points for women). There are also
significant differences in these views across age groups. About half of
adults ages 50 and older say single motherhood is bad for society, compared
with 42% of those younger than 30 and 44% of 30- to 49-year-olds. Along party lines,
about six-in-ten Republicans and Republican leaners (62%) say single women
raising children alone is bad for society, up from 53% in 2018. In contrast,
36% of Democrats and Democratic leaners say this is bad for society, up 6 points
from three years ago. Within each party, there are differences by gender.
About three-quarters of Republican men (73%) say single women raising
children on their own is bad for society, compared with half of Republican
women. Among Democrats, 45% of men say this is generally bad for society;
only 28% of Democratic women say the same. When it comes to views
on cohabitation, Americans are more likely than they were in 2018 to say that
couples living together without being married is bad for society, even
as cohabitation is on the
rise.
Roughly a quarter of U.S. adults (24%) now say that couples living together
without being married is generally bad for society, up 5 points from three
years ago. A smaller share says it is good for society (14%). Still, a
majority of Americans (62%) say it doesn’t make much of a difference.
Views on cohabitation
differ by race and ethnicity, gender, age and political affiliation. About
one-third of Black adults say couples living together without being married
is bad for society (32%), compared with about a quarter of White (25%) and
Asian (24%) adults and 17% of Hispanic adults. Since 2018, opinions shifted
the most among Black adults, with an increase of 8 percentage points in the
share saying cohabitation is bad for society. White adults had a smaller
increase of 5 points, while views didn’t change significantly among Hispanic
adults. The sample size for Asian adults in 2018 was not large enough to
analyze separately. There are modest
differences in views by gender. Women are less likely than men to say
cohabitation is bad for society (23% of women vs. 26% of men). This has
changed from 2018, when equal shares of men and women (19% each) thought it
was bad for society. There are also large
differences across age groups. Young adults ages 18 to 29 are the least likely to say couples living
together without being married is bad for society (13% say this), while 28%
say it is good for society. About one-in-five adults ages 30 to 49 (22%) say
cohabitation is bad for society, and roughly a quarter of adults 50 to 64
(27%) say the same. Among those 65 and older, 35% say cohabitation is bad for
society, while a mere 6% say it is generally good. Along party lines,
Republicans and Republican leaners are more likely to say cohabitation is a
bad thing for society than a good thing. Some 38% of Republicans say it is
bad for society, and only 6% say it is a good thing. Democrats and Democratic
leaners, on the other hand, are more likely to say it is good rather than
bad. One-in-five Democrats say cohabitation is good for society, while 13%
say it is generally bad. More than half in each party say it doesn’t make much
of a difference. While opinions are largely unchanged since 2018 among
Democrats, Republicans are more likely now than in 2018 to say it is bad for
society (30% of Republicans said so in 2018). (PEW) |
