The recycling rate of household waste in England almost quadrupled between the early 2000s and 2010/2011, since that year the waste recycling rate of over 0.40 has been the norm for the recent decade with no signs of returning to previous lows.
Overall the waste recycling rate of households in England has increased from just over 0.1 in 2000 to well over 0.4 in 2019.
Waste Recycling Rate increases from 2000/2001 to 2011/2012.
For several years from 2011/2012 this plateaus , with a slight increase in 2016/2017.
Since 2011 the rate has remained more steady with slight dips in 2015/16 and 2017/2018.
The sharpest rise in recycling occurred between 2000 and 2011.
Trust in government began eroding during the 1960s, amid the escalation of the Vietnam War, and the decline continued in the 1970s with the Watergate scandal and worsening economic struggles.
When the National Election Study began asking about trust in government in 1958, about three-quarters of Americans trusted the federal government to do the right thing almost always or most of the time.
Only 17% of Americans today say they can trust the government in Washington to do what is right “just about always” (3%) or “most of the time” (14%).
Public trust in the government remains near historic lows.
Public trust reached a three-decade high shortly after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but declined quickly thereafter.
But as the economy grew in the late 1990s so too did confidence in government.
Since 2007, the share saying they can trust the government always or most of the time has not surpassed 30%.
Confidence in government recovered in the mid-1980s before falling again in the mid-1990s.
Utter pradesh is the highest number of people living rurally and was around 3x more than the lowest ranking Ones at 25 million.
In 2007, Latinos accounted for 40% of all sentenced federal offenders—more than triple their share (13%) of the total U.S. adult population.
In 2007, Latinos without U.S. citizenship represented 29% of all federal offenders.
By contrast, a much smaller share of white offenders (8%) and black offenders (6%) who were sentenced in federal courts in 2007 were not U.S. citizens.
The share of all sentenced offenders who were Latino in 2007 was up from 24% in 1991, according to an analysis of data from the United States Sentencing Commission (USSC) by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center.
This heightened focus on immigration enforcement has also changed the citizenship profile of federal offenders.
Sharp growth in illegal immigration and increased enforcement of immigration laws have dramatically altered the ethnic composition of offenders sentenced in federal courts.
Among all Latino offenders, some 72% were not U.S. citizens, up from 61% in 1991.
Elsewhere in the region, support for the political changes was also strong; majorities in all of the former Eastern European publics surveyed except Ukraine embraced the move to competitive politics.
But, only the east Germans (85%) edged Czechs out in support of the move to a competitive election system.
Despite concerns about politicians and about the current state of democracy more generally, most Czechs (80%) approved of the change from a one-party to a multiparty system that took place in the early 1990s.
One demographic measure where the three metro areas are similar is the marital status of their Catholic populations.
About one-in-ten Catholics in each area (and in the country as a whole) report that they are currently living with a romantic partner outside of marriage.
Nearly or roughly half of Catholic adults in New York (50%), Philadelphia (45%) and Washington, D.C., (45%) are married, similar to U.S. Catholics overall (52%).
As time goes on, home products sales increase, so much so that in the eight year period between 2010-2018 they increase over 50%.
Sales have been climbing at a steady rate since 2019 and are at the highest level of 1,500.
Among older generations at the time – Boomers and Silents – half or more had a lot of confidence in the nation’s future.
In a survey of attitudes about government conducted last fall, just 37% of Millennials said they had “quite a lot of confidence” in the future of the United States, compared with 45% of Gen Xers, 49% of Boomers and 56% of the Silent Generation.
In 1994, just 30% of Gen Xers said they had quite a lot of confidence in the future of the U.S.
And two decades before that, Boomers were less bullish than their elders in assessing the nation’s future.
In 1975, when Boomers were the youngest generation, 49% had a great deal of confidence in the future of the U.S., compared with 62% of Silents and 67% of the Greatest Generation.
Two decades ago, Gen Xers, then in their teens and 20s, stood out for their lack of confidence in the nation’s future.
Put simply, in some instances there just aren’t many non-users left.
The share who say they have broadband internet service at home currently stands at 65% – nearly identical to the 67% who said this in a survey conducted in summer 2015.
The shares of U.S. adults who say they use the internet, use social media, own a smartphone or own a tablet computer are all nearly identical to the shares who said so in 2016.
A contributing factor behind this slowing growth is that parts of the population have reached near-saturation levels of adoption of some technologies.
And a similar share of those in higher-income households have laptops or desktops.
For example, nine-in-ten or more adults younger than 50 say they go online or own a smartphone.
And when it comes to desktop or laptop ownership, there has actually been a small dip in the overall numbers over the last two years – from 78% in 2016 to 73% today.
This escalated loss of migrants fueled the island’s first sustained population decline in its history as a U.S. territory, even as the stateside Puerto Rican population grew briskly.
U.S. Census Bureau data show that 144,000 more people left the island for the mainland than the other way around from mid-2010 to 2013, a larger gap between emigrants and migrants than during the entire decades of the 1970s, 1980s or 1990s.
Infant mortality rate has been decreasing from year 2010 from more than 50% to less than 40%.
A change of about 15 percentage points is represented.
Two-thirds of adults say it’s an essential requirement of a middle-class lifestyle.
But having weathered a recession that staggered the economy, a 2012 survey shows Americans have changed their views on what it takes to be part of the middle-class.
Nearly nine-in-ten adults (86%) say a person needs a secure job to be considered part of the middle class, while just 45% say the same about owning a home, 37% about a college education and 28% about financial investments.
Of the five items tested in the survey question, the only other one seen as essential to a middle-class lifestyle by a majority of the public is health insurance—which many Americans receive through their work.
In recent weeks, President Obama has been on the road citing the need for programs that bolster the middle-class.
But the geographic pattern was different for Republicans than for Democrats in counties where one side or the other dominated.
In counties that Trump won less resoundingly, or those where Clinton prevailed, Republicans were less likely to seek common ground on politics and more likely to prefer to avoid talking about differences, according to the national survey conducted Nov. 29-Dec. 12 among 4,138 adults on Pew Research Center’s American Trends Panel.
A majority (62%) of Republicans and Republican leaners in counties that went very strongly for Donald Trump in the general election (those where his share of the two-party vote was at least 40 percentage points greater than Hillary Clinton’s) said that when these disagreements happened, it was better to try to find common ground.
Among Democrats in strong Trump counties, opinion was almost the reverse: 61% said it was better to avoid raising political differences while just 39% said it was better to talk about them.
And in those counties where Clinton won decisively, 31% of Democrats and a similar share of Republicans (28%) said this topic came up a lot.
A similar pattern was evident among Democrats and Democratic leaners: 59% of those living in counties where Clinton defeated Trump by 40 points or more said it was better to address political differences, while 40% it was better to avoid talking about these differences.
Partisan differences were more modest in other counties.
In counties that went strongly for Trump, 30% of Republicans and just 14% of Democrats said the president-elect’s plans came up “a lot” in conversation.
The post-election survey found only modest partisan differences in how often people talked about Trump’s plans and policies in conversations in the weeks after the election.
However, the applications used to upload, share and now tag photos have changed dramatically over the past year.
Data gathered by Hitwise demonstrate the radical growth of a decidedly Web 2.0 socially-integrated photo service such as Photobucket diverging from the stagnant market share of a “traditional” online photo site like Kodakgallery.
Emigration has fluctuated between 1950 and 2019.
Following this, emigration figures stayed between 10,000 and 30,000 until around 2005 when there was a sharp increase, to around 47,000.
There was initially a sharp decline in emigration which may be attributed to the end of WWII.
Three-quarters of Republicans surveyed in May said their representatives in Congress should challenge President Obama more.
In May, Republicans’ approval of the performance of their leaders on the Hill fell to 41%, and just 37% said the leaders were keeping their campaign promises.
Our July survey found that positive views of the GOP among Republicans had declined 18 percentage points since January, from 86% to 68%.
Several recent surveys have tracked growing dissatisfaction within the Republican Party.
By contrast, in April 1995, after the GOP had recaptured both chambers of Congress for the first time in four decades, fully 80% of Republicans said that their leaders were keeping their promises.
By contrast, 86% of Democrats viewed their party favorably.
Republicans had much to celebrate after capturing both the House and Senate in the 2014 midterm elections, but their opinion of GOP congressional leaders soured during the first months of the new term.
There is a small decrease between the years of 2009-2015 but after 2010 the amount is growing by a small amount and increases after this.
The bar chart shows a trend for increased amount of health care employees in Ireland year on year between 2000-2018.
President George W. Bush is losing ground with the public in his efforts to build support for private retirement accounts in Social Security.
More than four-in-ten (43%) say they have heard a lot about the proposal, nearly double the number who said that in December (23%).
Support has declined as the public has become increasingly aware of the president’s plan.
Despite Bush’s intensive campaign to promote the idea, the percentage of Americans who say they favor private accounts has tumbled to 46% in Pew’s latest nationwide survey, down from 54% in December and 58% in September.
Only about one-in-five Americans (18%) say they trust the federal government to do what is right just about always or most of the time.
Two-thirds of Americans say they can trust the government only some of the time, while 14% volunteer they can never trust the government.
Although poverty levels for children are higher than those of adults, children are more likely to have health insurance than adults.
A principal factor affecting this pattern is that the occupations and industries in which the unauthorized work tend to be those where employers do not provide insurance.
More than half of unauthorized adults do not have insurance.
Immigrant adults are much more likely than natives to lack health insurance.
Children of immigrants are less likely to be covered by health insurance than children of natives, reflecting their higher levels of poverty and the lack of insurance on the part of their parents.
Here, the children are not eligible for SCHIP because of their status and their parents generally do not have coverage for themselves or their families.
Legal immigrant children, while having high levels without insurance (25%), are much more likely to be covered than unauthorized children (59%).
This pattern undoubtedly reflects the availability of coverage through the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) in recent years.
Here again, the status of the child has a separate effect on coverage as U.S.-born children of immigrants are more likely to have insurance than children who are immigrants themselves.
A full 63% of Americans and 59% of Canadians hold negative views of Russia.
Regionally, Russia’s reputation is least favorable in Europe and North America.
In the Middle East, majorities in Jordan (93%), Turkey (62%) and Israel (61%) hold negative views of Russia.
Anti-Russian sentiment in Jordan has nearly doubled over the past decade – intensifying even before Russia’s involvement in the Syrian conflict.
In Europe, a median of 61% feel the same, with anti-Russian sentiment particularly intense in the Netherlands (82%) and Sweden (78%).
It shows that the highest earners were Derek, Lara and Michael at just under 10 million.
Derek Anderson has the most compensation and Tim Stone has the least.
Lara was in an interim role, which from her salary she had worked almost or right up to 1 year in post.
Jerry and Evan had the lowest compensation.
News about the condition of the U.S. economy and the government spending cuts that began taking effect March 1 were the public’s two top stories last week.
The public paid far less attention to Catholic cardinals meeting in Rome to select a new pope (14% very closely) and reports about the U.S. stock market (14% very closely).
And just 10% paid very close attention to the death of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez.
Republicans and Democrats were about equally likely to follow news about the automatic federal spending cuts.
Overall, 35% said they followed economic news very closely; 31% followed news about the spending cuts very closely.
OVER THE LAST 6 YEARS BETWEEN 2007 AND 2016  THERE HAS BE A SLIGHT DOWNWARD TREND OF GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT.
It then dropped sharply in 2009 to about 2.6 before maintaining a fairly constant rate until 2014.
The GDP then dropped in 2015 and also 2016 to end at its lowest recorded value of about 0.23.
The highest GDP was recorded in industry in the year 2008 at 0.3.
seeing year upon year the rate of births .
It shows the trend for around 20 years.
Second is Sports and Leisure.
The number of stores does not seem to have any relationship to the perceived value of the items being sold.
Jewellery has the least number with Books and Magazines the least.
Fashion and Clothing have the most retail outlets.
Despite trailing Romney and Huckabee in the horse race, Giuliani is named by a plurality of Iowa Republican voters as best able to deal with terrorism (26%) and Iran (22%), and he is in a virtual tie with Romney on Iraq (19% vs. 20%).
And Giuliani is mentioned by fully 38% of Iowa voters as the candidate with the best chance of defeating a Democrat next November, though as noted earlier most voters say they prefer a candidate closest to them on the issues rather than the most electable candidate.
On the other hand, Huckabee is the choice of relatively few as best able to deal with foreign policy and security issues (11% say he is best able to handle Iraq, 11% Iran and 10% terrorism).
He is named by 27% of likely voters as best able to handle social issues like abortion and gay rights, far more than any other candidate.
Huckabee stands apart from the field when it comes to social issues.
The survey, conducted June 4-9, did find a higher percentage of young adults than the overall population who believed they were healthy enough and didn’t really need insurance, but this still only constituted 24% of their age group compared to 11% of all adults.
About two-thirds of young adults — roughly the same number as the general population — worry about medical bills that might result from a serious illness or accident.
More than three-quarters of those ages 18 to 25 regard health insurance as something important for them to have, something they need and something that is worth the cost.
A new Kaiser Family Foundation Health Tracking Poll, from which this chart of the week is taken, suggests that, despite the “invincible” tag, young adults are worried about their ability to foot medical bills.
For example, most Americans say that increased outsourcing of jobs to other countries (80%) and more foreign-made products being sold in the U.S. (77%) hurt American workers.
Large majorities see increased use of the internet and other technology in the workplace (70%) and more U.S.-made products being sold abroad (68%) as helping American workers.
Workers see automation as less of a threat.
The public sees threats to workers from multiple fronts.
It is predictive of the future budget balance based on the trend.
In 2016, only 10% of Millennials who had completed at least a bachelor’s degree lived at home, compared with 7% of college-educated Gen Xers who lived at home in 2000.
By contrast, 20% of young adults with no more than a high school diploma lived in their parents’ home in 2016, up from 12% of Gen Xers in 2000.
The increased prevalence of living with mom and/or dad is more prominent among less-educated young adults.
However, between 2000 and 2010, there is a general decrease of the percentage of paper and paperboard from 0.35 to 0.27.
The years with the highest percentage of paper and paperboard has been in the years 1970 and 2000.
Municipal solid waste has stayed around the same level on average between 1960 to 2000.
Even in the country led by one of Chavez’s closest allies — Bolivia’s Evo Morales — only one-third expressed confidence in the Venezuelan leader.
Opinions about Chavez were more mixed in Argentina, where nearly as many expressed confidence as lacked confidence (40% vs. 43%, respectively).
Elsewhere in the region, the 2007 survey found little confidence in Chavez to do the right thing in world affairs among the Latin American countries surveyed.
In fact, fewer than one-in-five said they have confidence in Chavez’s ability as a global leader in Brazil (17%), Mexico (17%), Peru (15%) and Chile (14%).
Among both parties, about four-in-ten (41% of Republicans and 38% of Democrats) say that members of the opposing party “feel differently about politics, and they probably don’t share many of my other values and goals either.” (Note: these questions are based on partisans and do not include those who lean toward the parties).
Despite their political differences, most Republicans and Democrats stop short of saying that people in the other party do not share their other values and goals beyond politics.
Such confidence contrasts with European views, where a median of just 23% across 10 European Union nations felt their country’s global influence was on the rise in 2016.
Other publics with a sense of growing global importance include China and India.
In a spring 2016 survey, three-quarters of Chinese and 68% of Indians said their country is more influential compared with a decade ago.
Here are four key findings about how Russians see their nation’s place in the world:
A majority of Russians believe their country is playing a more important role in the world today than it did a decade ago.
The Russian public feels confident about their country’s global standing, according to a new Pew Research Center survey, even as signs of discontent emerge at home.
Younger women were less likely to give female leaders an edge over male leaders, and instead were more likely to say men and women are equally likely to possess certain traits.
Relatively small shares of men (15%) and women (18%) said that family responsibilities are a major reason that fewer women hold elective offices.
For example, when it comes to working out compromises, 33% of Millennial women and 37% of Generation X women said women are better than men, compared with about half of women from the Baby Boomer (47%) and Silent (50%) generations who said so.
About half (47%) of women said that a major reason there are not more women in top political offices is that female candidates are held to higher standards than men, compared with 28% of men who said so.
There were generational differences among women in our survey on the attributes that a woman brings to political office.
And 33% of women, compared with 21% of men, said that females getting less support from party leaders is a major reason.
In 2015, there were 104 women in Congress, a record number representing 19% of all Senate and House seats.
There was no overall consensus among the public in our survey on what holds women back from gaining top elective offices, though women were far more likely than men to cite societal and institutional factors as major reasons.
Four-in-ten women (41%), compared with three-in-ten men (31%), said that a major reason for the lack of women in top political offices is that many Americans aren’t ready to elect a woman to a higher office.
There were similar differences by political party on this question, with more than twice as many Democrats (39%) as Republicans (17%) saying that having more women in high political office would improve the lives of women, while independents (28%) ranked in the middle.
Asked about which gender is better at working to improve Americans’ quality of life, only 22% of Millennial women and 24% of Gen X women said female leaders are better, compared with 39% of Baby Boomer women and 35% of Silent generation women who said so.
Women in our survey said men had an easier path to political leadership, and they also were more likely to say that having more female leaders would improve the quality of life for women.
And 38% of women said that having more women in top political or business leadership positions would improve the quality of life for all women “a lot.” Only half as many men (19%) agreed.
About three-quarters (73%) of women said it’s easier for men to get elected to high political office, while 58% of men agreed.
Both measures are among the most negative recorded in Pew Research Center surveys over the past 15 years.
Americans continue to render extremely bleak assessments of economic conditions, both with respect to the national economy and their own financial situations.
Fully 92% of the public rates the national economy as only fair or poor, and a substantial majority (61%) judges their personal finances that way.
In the first half of this year, 11.95 trillion cubic feet of “dry” (or consumer-grade) natural gas were produced, slightly above the same period last year and 7.9% more than in the first six months of 2011.
Beginning in 2011, natural gas supplanted coal as the nation’s single-biggest source of domestically produced energy, according to data from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
Last year the U.S. generated a record 79.1 quadrillion Btu (British thermal units) domestically, nearly 14% more energy than in 2005, largely due to increased production of oil and natural gas.
Though many Americans apparently don’t realize it, the U.S. is producing considerably more of its own energy.
There was a steeper decline from 2017 to 2019 (where the graph ends) than the gentle curve between 2010 and 2017.
In 2013 the curve was at its highest.
Sales started to decline from 2013.
At the same time, the public generally believes it is acceptable for the government to monitor many others, including foreign citizens, foreign leaders, and American leaders.
At the same time, majorities support monitoring of those particular individuals who use words like “explosives” and “automatic weapons” in their search engine queries (65% say that) and those who visit anti-American websites (67% say that).
Yet, 57% say it is unacceptable for the government to monitor the communications of U.S. citizens.
