Why is Kuwait holding third parliamentary election in three years?(Kuwait) According to 2022 Arab Barometer data, younger Kuwaitis are slightly less interested in politics than their elders.

Public opinion showed that 44 percent of Kuwaitis believed that the government spending priority should be education, followed by improving roads and transportation (14 percent) and the healthcare system (13 percent). This public opinion data reflect the 2022-23 budget. According to the Ministry of Finance, government spending prioritizes education (12.4 percent), health (11.52 percent), transportation (3.37 percent) and environmental protection (0.84 percent) of a total budget of 23.5 billion Kuwaiti Dinars (approximately $76.5 billion).

TOPIC OF THE WEEK

Ipsos MORI Report Shows; One In Seven People Face Hunger Across The UK Because They Don’t Have Enough Money

This page is devoted to opinions of countries whose polling activity is generally not known very widely or where a recent topical issue requires special attention.

  Ipsos MORI Report Shows; One In Seven People Face Hunger Across The UK Because They Don’t Have Enough Money

 

One in seven people face hunger across the UK because they don’t have enough moneyNew research for the Trussell Trust published this week shows the extent of hunger in the UK.  Some 14% of all UK adults (or their households) have experienced food insecurity in the 12 months to mid-2022. The research shows that certain groups of people are more at risk, the drivers pushing people towards hunger, and how this leads to further issues, including isolation, debt and health problems.  Reports of findings and study technical details are published on the Trussell Trust’s website.  Survey datasets will also be available on the UK National Data Archive.

 

‘Hunger in the UK’ is the most in-depth study on hunger, its causes, impacts and who is affected, in the UK to-date and evidences the main driver as a lack of money. The research shows that certain groups of people are more at risk, the drivers of hunger, and how this leads to further issues, including isolation, debt and health problems.

 

The research also finds that while around 7% of the UK population were supported by charitable food support, including food banks, most people facing hunger (71%) had not yet accessed any form of charitable food support.

 

Furthermore, paid work does not always protect people from having to use food banks. One in five people using food banks in the Trussell Trust network are in a working household. Just under a third (30%) of people in work who have had to use a food bank, are in insecure work such as zero hours contracts or agency work.

 

Emma Revie, chief executive at the Trussell Trust, says:

 

Being forced to turn to a food bank to feed your family is a horrifying reality for too many people in the UK, but as Hunger in the UK shows, this is just the tip of the iceberg. Millions more people are struggling with hunger. This is not right. Food banks are not the answer when people are going without the essentials in one of the richest economies in the world. We need a social security system which provides protection and the dignity for people to cover their own essentials, such as food and bills.
