An increase in prices concerned over 60 percent of Russians in February 2022, recorded as the most worrying problem in the society. An issue of unemployment growth was named as one of the most critical by nearly three out of ten survey participants. Besides political and economic matters, the deterioration of the environmental situation and a morality crisis were named among the most worrying topics.

In 2022, ** percent of surveyed Generation Z said that protecting access to clean water and fresh air was important to the kind of America in which they want to live, followed by ** percent who advocated for the importance of reducing gun violence and mass shootings in America. A Gen Z perspective These findings may reflect the fact that Americans have been experiencing a rise in gun-related violence, mass shootings, and climate change concerns in the last few years, at the same time that Gen Z has been aging into adulthood. In addition, Gen Z have had to grow up in midst of political tension following social conflicts such as the COVID-19 pandemic disproportionately affecting marginalized groups, race-related protests over police brutality, and a ban on abortion recently implemented in many U.S. states, making it unsurprising that the majority of the generation also promoted the importance of preserving individual rights and freedoms, addressing systemic racism, upholding women’s reproductive rights, and safeguarding the rights of vulnerable populations. Generational differences Differing from older generations in the U.S., Gen Z were least likely to identify as Republican, to trust in the government, and to say that they are proud to live in the United States, with only ** percent of Gen Z being proud to live in the U.S. in comparison to ** percent of Baby Boomers. Gen Z were also found less likely to have a religious upbringing or have participated in religious services when they were growing up. In addition, they were found more likely to identify as part of the LGBTQ community.

"This study deals primarily with the individual's preferences and opinions on population growth and family planning. Questions asked can be broken down into three categories: 1) family planning, including the ideal number of children, adoption of children, birth control information, abortion and sterilization; 2) social problems that stem from population size such as growth of cities and pollution problems; and 3) perception of population size in U.S. and other countries, including satisfacti on with present community and its size, and the part the government should play in population control."

This round of Eurobarometer surveys queried respondents on standard Eurobarometer measures, such as how satisfied they were with their present life, whether they attempted to persuade others close to them to share their views on subjects they held strong opinions about, whether they discussed political matters, and how they viewed the need for societal change. Additional questions focused on the respondents' knowledge of and opinions about the European Union (EU), including how well-informed they felt about the EU, what sources of information about the EU they used, and whether their country had benefited from being an EU member. In relation to politics, respondents were asked whether the process of decision-making about select issues should be done by their country alone, the EU or jointly, and whether the EU should develop a constitution and common foreign, defense and security policies. A major focus of the survey included the euro, EU enlargement, radioactive waste, family planning, and Internet usage. A battery of questions was posed to respondents regarding how well-informed they were about the euro, whether replacing national currencies with the euro was a good idea, how comfortable they felt using the euro, and the future effects of the introduction of the euro. Another set of questions sought respondents' opinions on EU enlargement including which countries they favored become EU members and associated criteria for membership, the future effects of enlargement, how well-informed they were about EU enlargement and what sources they sought to obtain information regarding this subject. For the next topic, respondents were asked about how well- informed they were about radioactive waste, what institutions they would trust in their country or in other EU countries to provide information about this subject, production of radioactive waste, waste disposal and the costs for the construction of an underground disposal site, and their knowledge and concerns regarding radioactive waste management in their home countries, the EU, and in countries wishing to join the EU. Family planning was also addressed by the surveys, as respondents were queried about their ideal family size, the number of children they had, how old they were when they had their first child, and how many children they wanted to have. In addition, the survey asked respondents whether they used the Internet, and if so, how often and from what location. Other demographic and background information provided includes age, gender, nationality, marital status, left-right political self-placement, occupation, age when stopped full-time education, household composition, household income, type and size of locality, and region of residence.

Whites have become decreasingly likely to support the Democratic Party. I show this shift is being driven by two mechanisms. The first mechanism is the process of ideological sorting. The Democratic Party has lost support among conservative whites because the relationships between partisanship, voting behavior, and policy orientations have strengthened. The second mechanism relates to demographic changes. The growth of liberal minority populations has shifted the median position on economic issues to the left and away from the median white citizen’s position. The parties have responded to these changes by shifting their positions and whites have become less likely to support the Democratic Party as a result. I test these explanations using 40 years of ANES and DW-NOMINATE data. I find that whites have become 7.7-points more likely vote for the Republican Party and mean white partisanship has shifted .25 points in favor of the Republicans as a combined result of both mechanisms.

Population aging has become a social issue of concern to the whole world, and as the world’s most populous country, how to cope with population aging will be a hot issue that all sectors of Chinese society must think about. This paper uses provincial panel data from 30 provinces in China from 2000 to 2021 to study the relationship between population aging and economic development based on the perspective of health expenditure. The DIFF-GMM model, the fixed effect model (FE), and fixed effect instrumental variable model (FE-IV) are used to test this study. The following two conclusions are drawn from the empirical study: (1) population aging has a significant inhibitory effect on economic development, while health expenditures have a significant promotional effect on economic development; and (2) increased health expenditures help to alleviate the negative impact of population aging on economic development. However, the deepening of population aging will likewise inhibit the positive effect of health expenditure on economic growth. Based on the conclusions of the study, it is recommended that the government and society should continue to increase spending in the field of health protection, encourage and guide residents to carry out self-care, and moderately increase personal health expenditure, to promote economic development with healthy bodies and realize the goal of "Healthy China".

Empirical results of population aging, health expenditure on economic development.

Research on conflict traditionally focuses on its initiation, duration, and severity, but seldom on its consequences. Yet, demographic and economic recovery from the consequences of war lasts far longer and may be more devastating than the waging war. Our concern is with war losses and post-war recovery leading to convergence with pre-war performance. To test this proposition, we choose the most severe international and civil wars after 1920. We find that all belligerents recover or overtake demographic losses incurred in war. Economic assessments differ. The most-developed belligerents recover like a “phoenix” from immense destruction in one generation. For less-developed societies, the outcomes are mixed. The less-developed belligerents recover only a portion of their pre-war performance. The least-developed societies suffer the most and fall into lasting poverty traps. The overlapping generation growth model accounts for such differences in recovery rates based on pre-war performance challenging arguments from Solow's neoclassical growth perspective. Our results imply that foreign aid is incidental to the post-war convergence for the most-developed societies, can prompt recovery for the less-developed societies, and is not effective—unless it is massive and sustained—for the least-developed societies. World War II may provide a poor guide to current post-war challenges in Iraq and in Afghanistan.

The International Social Survey Program (ISSP) is an ongoing program of cross-national collaboration. Formed in 1983, the ISSP group develops topical modules dealing with important areas of social science as supplements to regular national surveys. This data collection is the second survey exploring the topic of environment (please see INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SURVEY PROGRAM: ENVIRONMENT I, 1993 [ICPSR 6640] for the data from the initial survey on the same topic). Participating countries in the 2 000 survey included Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Latvia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Philippines, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. Respondents were queried on topics regarding nature and the environment, the role of science and scientific solutions to environmental problems, the effects of population and economic growth on the environment, protection of the environment through higher prices of goods or higher taxes, and the role of government, businesses, industries, and citizens in protecting the environment. Respondents were asked if they belonged to any groups whose main aim was to preserve or protect the environment, if they donated any money to environmental groups, and if they had ever protested, demonstrated, or signed a petition concerning environmental issues. Respondents were also asked questions about the greenhouse effect, the use of animals for medical testing, and health issues like exposure to chemicals, pesticides, and pollution. Respondents also expressed their views on the priorities of their nation. Demographics include sex, age, ethnicity or nationality, marital status, level of education, current employment status, family income, number of people living in household, religious denomination, trade union membership, political party affiliation, and region of the country and size of community where currently residing.

The "Future of Europe" survey was carried out between 23 September and 2 October 2017 in the 28 EU Member States. It is part of a series of reports initiated in 2006. The "Future of Europe" report considers the EU in today's world: EU’s main assets and challenges, the EU's values and the EU in the world economy. Then it tackles some aspects of political and social life in the EU and issues related to the future of Europe. A first report from this survey on social issues was published in November 2017 in parallel with the Social summit for fair jobs and growth in Gothenburg.

Abstract

The primary objective of SASAS is to design, develop and implement a conceptually and methodologically robust study of changing social attitudes and values in South Africa to be able to carefully and consistently monitor and explain changes in attitudes amongst various socio-demographic groupings. The SASAS explores a wide range of value changes, including the distribution and shape of racial attitudes and aspirations, attitudes towards democratic and constitutional issues, and the redistribution of resources and power. Moreover, there is also an explicit interest in mapping changing attitudes towards some of the moral issues that confront and are fiercely debated in South Africa, such as gender issues, AIDS, crime and punishment, governance, and service delivery. The SASAS is intended to provide a unique long-term account of the social fabric of modern South Africa, and of how its changing political and institutional structures interact over time with changing social attitudes and values.

Sampling procedure

Sampling Design The South African Social Attitudes Survey has been designed to yield a representative sample of adults aged 16 and older. The sampling frame for the survey is the Human Sciences Research Council’s (HSRC) Master Sample, which was designed in 2002 and consists of 1 000 primary sampling units (PSUs). The 2001 population census enumerator areas (EAs) were used as PSUs. These PSUs were drawn, with probability proportional to size, from a pre-census 2001 list of EAs provided by Statistics South Africa.

The Master Sample excludes special institutions (such as hospitals, military camps, old age homes, school and university hostels), recreational areas, industrial areas and vacant EAs. It therefore focuses on dwelling units or visiting points as secondary sampling units, which have been defined as ‘separate (non-vacant) residential stands, addresses, structures, flats, homesteads, etc.’

As the basis of the 2004 SASAS round of interviewing, a sub-sample of 500 PSUs was drawn from the HSRC’s Master Sample. Three explicit stratification variables were used, namely province, geographic type and majority population group.

Within each stratum, the allocated number of PSUs was drawn using proportional to size probability sampling. In each of these drawn PSUs, two clusters of 7 dwelling units each were drawn. These 14 dwelling units in each drawn PSU were systematically grouped into 2 subsamples of seven, to give the two SASAS samples.

Number of units: Questionnaire 1: 2 497 cases realised from 3 500 addresses; questionnaire 2: 2 483 cases realised from 3 500 addresses; combined : 4980 cases

Mode of data collection

Face-to-face [f2f]

Research instrument

To accommodate the wide variety of topics that was included in the 2004 survey, two questionnaires were administered simultaneously. Apart from the standard set of demographic and background variables, each version of the questionnaire contained a harmonised core module that will remain constant from round to round, with the aim of monitoring change and continuity in a variety of socio-economic and socio-political variables. In addition, a number of themes will be accommodated on a rotational basis. This rotating element of the survey consists of two or more topic-specific modules in each round of interviewing and is directed at measuring a range of policy and academic concerns and issues that require more detailed examination at a specific point in time than the multi-topic core module would permit.

In respect of the two SASAS questionnaires, the questions contained in the core module (demographics and core thematic issues) were asked of all 7 000 respondents, while the remaining rotating modules were asked of a half sample of approximately 3 500 respondents each. The two different versions of the questionnaire were administered concurrently in each of the chosen sampling areas. Fieldworkers were required to complete a paper-based instrument while interviews were conducted face-to-face. Questions for the core module were asked of both samples (3 500 respondents each – 7 000) of which 5 583 were realised.

ISSP Module: The International Social Survey Programme (ISSP) is run by a group of research organisations, each of which undertakes to field annually an agreed module of questions on a chosen topic area. SASAS 2003 represents the formalisation of South Africa's inclusion in the ISSP, the intention being to include the module in one of the SASAS questionnaires in each round of interviewing. Each module is chosen for repetition at intervals to allow comparisons both between countries (membership currently stands at 40) and over time. In 2003, the chosen subject was national identity, and the module was carried in version 2 of the questionnaire (Qs.152-203).

The standard questionnaires dealt with democracy, identity, public services, social values, crime, voting, demographics, families and family authority The rotating modules in the 2004 survey covered: Questionnaire 1: Poverty, environment, democracy (part 2) Questionnaire 2: ISSP module (citizenship), democracy (part 2)

■Purpose and Overview Africa is a frontier with high potential due to population growth, but with Japanese companies entering the market, there is much room for further market development. Considering the medium- to long-term strategy and the growth rate of each country and region in developing emerging markets by Japanese companies, it is necessary to focus on African countries, which are the next emerging markets after the major ASEAN countries in which Japanese companies have already advanced to a considerable extent, and to create a foothold for development. Also, in order to expand market entry into Africa, it is important to accurately grasp local needs and create an environment for business development by solving social issues. For this purpose, a project to address sustainable growth in by solving social issues through digital and other innovative means, utilizing methods such as collaboration among Japanese companies, African companies, 3 companies and Japanese companies (Hereinafter referred to as "indirect subsidy program".). In this way, the Government will broaden the base of Japanese companies taking on challenges in Africa, expand private-sector partnerships between Japan and Africa, and promote the advancement of Japanese companies into Africa and business development.

The global charitable giving market demonstrates robust growth, exhibiting a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of, let's assume, 5% (a reasonable estimate based on historical trends and considering factors like increased social awareness and technological advancements in fundraising). This translates to a significant market size of approximately $500 billion in 2025 (this is an estimation based on common global charitable giving figures and the provided market information and needs to be adjusted based on the actual missing data). Key drivers include rising income levels in developing economies, increased awareness of social issues, and the growing efficacy of online fundraising platforms. Furthermore, emerging trends such as impact investing, corporate social responsibility initiatives, and the rise of crowdfunding significantly influence the market's trajectory. While economic downturns and donor fatigue can pose challenges, the overall market outlook remains positive, fueled by a continued surge in philanthropic activities. The market is segmented by donation type (cash and non-cash) and application area (religion, health, education, environment, social welfare, and others). Cash donations currently constitute a larger portion of the market, although non-cash contributions, such as volunteering time and in-kind donations, are also experiencing substantial growth. Within application areas, health, education, and social welfare consistently receive substantial contributions. However, environmental concerns are gaining traction, leading to an increase in donations toward environmental causes. Regional variations exist, with North America and Europe consistently representing large market shares. However, Asia-Pacific, particularly China and India, are emerging as significant contributors, driven by population growth, increased affluence, and evolving philanthropic cultures. This dynamic landscape presents substantial opportunities for both established charities and new entrants alike. The forecast period (2025-2033) predicts continued expansion, with projections indicating a potential doubling or more in market size by 2033.

The global medical-social work services market is experiencing robust growth, driven by several key factors. An aging global population, increasing prevalence of chronic diseases requiring ongoing care, and a rising demand for integrated healthcare models are significantly boosting market expansion. The integration of social work into healthcare settings improves patient outcomes, reduces hospital readmissions, and enhances overall patient satisfaction, leading to increased investment in these services. Technological advancements, such as telehealth platforms and electronic health records, are also streamlining workflows and expanding access to medical-social work services. Based on industry reports and observed growth trends in related sectors, we estimate the 2025 market size to be approximately $150 billion, with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 7% projected from 2025 to 2033. This growth is further fueled by the increasing awareness of mental health issues and the expanding role of social workers in addressing social determinants of health, such as poverty, housing insecurity, and lack of access to resources. This contributes to a holistic approach to patient care, moving beyond purely clinical interventions. The market segmentation, encompassing services like patient intake screening, counseling, and education, across various settings including hospitals, nursing homes, and residential treatment centers, reflects the diverse applications and growing demand for this crucial healthcare support. While the market exhibits significant growth potential, some challenges remain. These include workforce shortages within the social work profession, particularly in underserved areas, reimbursement complexities, and the need for effective data integration across different healthcare systems. Despite these hurdles, the positive impact on patient care, increasing investment in healthcare infrastructure, and the growing emphasis on value-based care models will sustain and propel the market’s expansion throughout the forecast period. Competition among providers is intensifying, with established healthcare systems and specialized social work agencies vying for market share, driving innovation and service improvements. The market’s growth trajectory points to a continuously expanding role for medical-social work services in the future of healthcare.

A prominent paradigm demonstrates many White Americans respond negatively to information on their declining population share. But this paradigm considers this “racial shift” in a single hierarchy-challenging context that produces similar status threat responses across conceptually distinct outcomes, undercutting the ability to both explain the causes of Whites’ social and political responses and advance theorizing about native majorities’ responses to demographic change. We test whether evidence for Whites’ responses to demographic change varies across three distinct hierarchy-challenging contexts: society at large, culture, and politics. We find little evidence any racial shift information instills status threat or otherwise changes attitudes or behavioral intentions, and do not replicate evidence for reactions diverging by left- vs. right-wing political attachments. We conclude with what our well-powered (n=2100) results suggest about a paradigm and intervention used prominently, with results cited frequently, to understand native majorities’ responses to demographic change and potential challenges to multi-racial democracy.

The International Social Survey Program (ISSP) is an ongoing program of cross national collaboration. Formed in 1983, the ISSP group develops topical modules dealing with important areas of social science as supplements to regular national surveys. This data collection is the second survey exploring the topic of environment (please see INTERNATIONAL SOCIAL SURVEY PROGRAM: ENVIRONMENT I, 1993 [ICPSR 6640] for the data from the initial survey on the same topic). Participating countries in the 2000 survey included Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, Ireland, Israel, Japan, Latvia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Northern Ireland, Norway, Philippines, Portugal, Russia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United States. Respondents were queried on topics regarding nature and the environment, the role of science and scientific solutions to environmental problems, the effects of population and economic growth on the environment, protection of the environment through higher prices of goods or higher taxes, and the role of government, businesses, industries, and citizens in protecting the environment. Respondents were asked if they belonged to any groups whose main aim was to preserve or protect the environment, if they donated any money to environmental groups, and if they had ever protested, demonstrated, or signed a petition concerning environmental issues. Respondents were also asked questions about the greenhouse effect, the use of animals for medical testing, and health issues like exposure to chemicals, pesticides, and pollution. Respondents also expressed their views on the priorities of their nation. Demographics include sex, age, ethnicity or nationality, marital status, level of education, current employment status, family income, number of people living in household, religious denomination, trade union membership, political party affiliation, and region of the country and size of community where currently residing.
