World Giving Index - wikipedia World Giving Index The World Giving Index ( WGI ) is an annual report published by the Charities Aid Foundation, using data gathered by Gallup, and ranks over 140 countries in the world according to how charitable they are. The aim of the World Giving Index is to provide insight into the scope and nature of giving around the world. The first edition was released in September 2010. The most recent edition was published in November 2016, with Myanmar, the United States and Australia ranking as the top three. New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Canada, Indonesia, the United Kingdom, Ireland and United Arab Emirates complete the top ten.

In most countries surveyed, 1,000 questionnaires are completed by a representative sample of individuals living across the country. The coverage area is the entire country including rural areas. The sampling frame represents the entire civilian, non-institutionalised, aged 15 and older population of the entire country. In some large countries such as China and Russia samples of at least 2,000 are collected, while in a small number of countries, the poll covers 500 to 1,000 people but still features a representative sample. The survey is not conducted in a limited number of instances including where the safety of interviewing staff is threatened, scarcely populated islands in some countries, and areas that interviewers can reach only by foot, animal or small boat. In all, over 150,000 people were interviewed by Gallup in 2014 and samples are probability - based. Surveys are carried out by telephone or face - to - face depending on the country 's telephone coverage. There is of course a margin of error ( the amount of random sampling error ) in the results for each country, which is calculated by Gallup around a proportion at the 95 % confidence level ( the level of confidence that the results are a true reflection of the whole population ). The maximum margin of error is calculated assuming a reported percentage of 50 % and takes into account the design effect. Gallup asked people which of the following three charitable acts they had undertaken in the past month : helped a stranger, or someone they did n't know who needed help ? donated money to a charity ? volunteered your time to an organisation ?

President Rajapaksa said it captured, `` the reality of our caring and sharing society ''. The President of Taiwan, Ma Ying - jeou described the results as `` unfair '' and stated that Taiwan had transformed itself from an `` importer of love to an exporter of love ''. Australian Parliamentary Secretary for Social Inclusion and the Voluntary Sector and Senator for New South Wales, Dr Ursula Stephens said, `` I see each day the enormous efforts of our country 's five million volunteers and witness the generosity of the millions of Australians whose donations make the work of our non profit organisations possible. So this result on the World Giving Index is confirmation of what we already know -- we are a country of generous people who are quick to lend a helping hand in times of need. '' The Community and Voluntary Sector Minister in New Zealand, Tariana Turia said, `` The report shows that New Zealanders are particularly generous when it comes to giving money and helping strangers, but also in terms of volunteering. As a nation we must celebrate our generosity and make sure that our decisions and our actions bolster it even further. '' References Jump up ^ `` World Giving Index 2010 '' ( PDF ).
