GLOBAL BAROMETER OF HOPE AND HAPPINESS at year end 2012

WIN-Gallup International Association Global Barometer of Hope and Happiness December 30, 2012

GLOBAL ECONOMIC GLOOM SUBSIDING WORLDWIDE Globally Net Economic hope rises from -2% to 7%. Western Europe is slightly gloomier than at year end a year ago but North America is slightly less. Zurich, December 30, 2012 — A global poll released on the eve of the new year conveys a hopeful message that economic gloom is subsiding worldwide and hopes on the economy have risen from 2% to 7%; a rise of 9% from a year ago. The gloomy trend in Western Europe still faces challenges. On the other hand, in North America it appears to have declined, and is more hopeful than a year ago. The global survey was carried out by WIN-Gallup International Association, the world’s largest independent network of opinion pollsters, in 54 countries, with more than 55,817 men and women, covering a vast majority of the world population. The network has conducted this annual poll since 1977. According to the WIN-Gallup International global barometer of hope and happiness, 35% of the world’s population is hopeful about economic prospects in 2013, while 28% expect it to be worse; 29% expect no change from the previous year while 8% were unable to give an answer.

Happiness with or without Economic Hope Notwithstanding views about economy, a majority of the world feels happy about their life. Responding to the question: “As far as you are concerned, do you personally feel happy, unhappy or neither happy nor unhappy about your life?” 53% said they felt happy; 13% said they felt unhappy; 32% felt neither way and the remaining 2% did not answer. The global barometer of Hope and Happiness shows that a large number of people refuse to be gloomy despite their poor view on economic prospects for their nation.


3 year Trend on hope about Economy Global economic hope was 2% on new year’s eve in 2010; it declined to -2% in 2011 but has risen notably to 7% in 2012. This positive change is mainly due to resurgence of hope in India and China. In North America it has also improved from -25% to -12%. Nevertheless, Western Europe has slightly declined from -46% a year ago to -48%. Top 10 Most Hopeful Countries Net Hope on Economy

Note: Net Hope on Economy is computed by deducting the optimists (hopeful about economic prospects in 2013) from the pessimistic (those who see greater economic difficulty)


Methodology: The global barometer of Hope is an annual tradition initiated by and designed under the chairmanship of Dr. George Gallup in 1977. It has been conducted every year since then. This year it was carried out by Members of WIN-Gallup International Association in 54 countries around the world. Sample Size and Mode of Field Work: A total of 55,817 persons were interviewed globally. In each country a national probability sample of around 1000 men and women was interviewed either face to face (31 countries; n=32,747), via telephone (10 countries; n=8,889) or online (14 countries; n=14,181). Details are attached. The field work was conducted between September-December, 2012. In general the error margin for surveys of this kind is +3-5% at 95% confidence level. The global average has been computed according to the share of the covered adult population of the surveyed countries. Commentary by Jean-Marc International Association

Leger,

President

WIN-Gallup

As global pollsters our task is to keep close watch on popular pulse. The latest measurement provides a feeling of relief. The overall economic hope has considerably improved. Gloom about the economy seems to be subsiding in North America. Economic hope is resurging in India and China. However, Western Europe still faces challenges with a slightly more pessimistic apprehension about the future of its economy. Today we live in an interdependent world and hopeful pulse in any part of the world is


a message of hope for all. With that message of hope we greet the world on the eve of this new year.
