khhuang/chartve_dataset huggingface dataset:
The lowest growth rate was around 0.025 in 2015.
The lowest amount of growth in healthcare expenditure was shown in 2015.
It is not unusual for the growth rate to fluctuate by around 0.02 or more in a year, as this has happened five times.
The overall trend for the period 1998-2018 is that the growth rate is decreasing.
Since 2010, despite some increases and decreases, the growth rate has still remained lower than at any point in the period 1998-2009.
The lowest amount of growth in healthcare expenditure was just about 0.02.
The highest total healthcare expenditure annual growth rate in the UK from 1998 to 2018 was around 0.095 in 2002.
Most growth in healthcare expenditure was shown between 1998 and 2010.
The highest amount of growth in healthcare expenditure was just above 0.09.
The chart shows a gradual increase, year on year, in the share of households with a computer at home in developed countries.
Slower increase in the later years from 2013.
There was an increase of approximately 0.2 between 2007 and 2019.
Increase over time from 2005 where it is at 0.55 and it increase to 0.82 in 2019.
2016 was the year that the figure first exceeded 0.8.
Today, the balance of opinion is similar to the public’s views in late 2010.
This is a shift from when this question was asked last year after revelations about the NSA’s domestic surveillance program.
Pluralities then said they were more concerned that the government had gone too far (47% in July and 44% in November).
In addition, a growing share of the public expresses concerns that the government’s anti-terrorism policies have not gone far enough to adequately protect the country (50%) rather than going too far in restricting the average person’s civil liberties (35%).
When asked whether it is more important to have strong economic ties with China or the U.S., 73% of Canadians choose the U.S. Only 13% would favor stronger economic ties with China.
Despite these sentiments, Canadians tend to believe that China, and not the U.S., is the world’s leading economic power.
The U.S. is by far Canada’s largest trading partner, accounting for $707 billion in goods and private services trade between the two countries in 2012.
A 46% plurality of Canadians say that China is the top economy, while just 34% name the U.S. French-speaking Canadians (58%) and followers of the NDP (57%) are more likely to name China as the world’s leading economy, compared with English speakers (43%) and both Liberals (44%) and CPC supporters (40%).
Very few unauthorized fall in this age range, so overall, they are simply more likely to be working.
Within this age range for workers, those who are older (e.g., 45–64) are more likely to be retired or disabled and so, not in the labor force.
There appear to be a number of factors associated with these differences.
Among men ages 18–64, natives are the least likely to be in the civilian non-institutional labor force (83%) followed by legal immigrants (86%) and then by the group most likely to be working—the unauthorized (92%).
Labor force participation differs substantially by sex and across the groups defined by immigration status.
One of the simplest is age.
This marks the first time in eight years that as many Americans have expressed a preference for a bigger as a smaller government.
Support for bigger government has increased 7 percentage points since last September, when more said they preferred a smaller government offering fewer services (50%) than a bigger government providing more services (41%).
As Congress faces an April 28 deadline to fund government operations, the public is now split in their general preferences on the size and scope of government: 48% say they would rather have a bigger government providing more services, while 45% prefer a smaller government providing fewer services.
The last time the public was divided on this question was in October 2008, just prior to the election of Barack Obama.
(Those who said no immigrants should be allowed volunteered this response.)
People in other countries around the world hold views similar to those in Europe.
Large majorities in Israel (73%), Russia (67%), South Africa (65%) and Argentina (61%) say their countries should let in fewer immigrants.
(In several countries, most disapprove of how the European Union has handled the refugee issue.)
Across the countries surveyed, a median of 45% say fewer or no immigrants should be allowed to move to their country, while 36% say they want about the same number of immigrants.
In Europe, majorities in Greece (82%), Hungary (72%), Italy (71%) and Germany (58%) say fewer immigrants or no immigrants at all should be allowed to move to their countries.
Each of these countries served as some of the most popular transit or destination countries during Europe’s recent surge in asylum seekers.
In every country surveyed, less than a third say their nation should allow more immigrants to enter.
Just 14% say their countries should allow more immigrants.
President Vladimir Putin’s handling of foreign affairs gets high ratings from most Russians, in contrast to more tempered views of his economic policies and anti-corruption efforts at home.
Despite slippage in how well the public thinks their president is handling key foreign policies, a majority of Russians say their country plays a more important role on the world stage than it did 10 years ago.
Confidence in Putin’s global leadership has been consistently strong over the decade-and-a-half that Pew Research Center has polled in Russia.
Trust in the Russian leader has remained high since an increase in 2014, shortly after the conflict with Ukraine and subsequent annexation of Crimea.
While support for offshore drilling has largely rebounded, many Americans also support investments in alternative energy.
By a two-to-one ratio, a greater share of the public favors developing alternatives like wind, solar and hydrogen over expanding ventures into oil, coal and natural gas (60% vs. 30%).
An additional 41% would favor the government promoting the increased use of nuclear power.
In fact, the public takes something of an all-of-the-above approach to energy: 81% support better fuel-efficiency requirements and 58% want more mining and drilling on federal land.
A similar share also said they would favor ending the trade embargo the U.S. imposed against Cuba in 1960.
A majority of Americans support the renewal of diplomatic relations with Cuba.
A Pew Research Center survey from July 2015 found that 73% of Americans approved of the thaw in relations between the two countries.
Support for renewed diplomatic and economic relations had increased across nearly all partisan groups since January 2015, the month after Obama announced his initiative.
According to our spring 2012 poll, 78% of Turks said they had a favorable view of their country.
The people of Turkey also hold negative views toward NATO specifically (70% dislike the organization).
But Turkish distaste for foreign powers does not begin and end with the U.S. On balance, around two-thirds or more Turks express unfavorable views of the European Union, China, Brazil, Russia, Iran and Israel.
Turks even dislike Saudi Arabia (53% unfavorable and, notably, the highest favorability percentage (26%) among all countries we asked about).
But anti-Americanism really spiked in the aftermath of the 2003 Iraq War, when 83% of Turks held a negative view of America.
Today, only 19% in Turkey like the U.S., while nearly three-quarters (73%) share a dislike of their NATO ally.
Since we began polling the Turkish people in 2002, shortly after the 9/11 attacks, never have more than three-in-ten said they have a favorable view of the U.S.
In fact, it is hard to find any country or organization the Turkish people really like, except, of course, Turkey itself.
(Unfortunately, we do not have comparable data for American views of Turkey).
The media also maintained their focus on the economy.
A quarter say this was the story they followed more closely than any other last week.
According to a separate analysis by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism, reporting on the economic crisis accounted for 13% of the newshole last week.
Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington was not far behind (11%).
Another 19% say they followed the continuing financial troubles of U.S. automakers General Motors and Chrysler most closely.
That made it the leading story, though coverage of the horrific shooting at the U.S.
Meanwhile, Americans continue to track news about the still-struggling economy closely.
Hungarians, Poles, Greeks, Italians and French identify this as their greatest concern.
As a new Pew Research Center survey illustrates, the refugee crisis and the threat of terrorism are very much related to one another in the minds of many Europeans.
But terrorism is not the only concern people have about refugees.
The recent surge of refugees into Europe has featured prominently in the anti-immigrant rhetoric of right-wing parties across the Continent and in the heated debate over the UK’s decision to exit the European Union.
Half or more in five nations say refugees will take away jobs and social benefits.
Many are also worried that they will be an economic burden.
At the same time, attacks in Paris and Brussels have fueled public fears about terrorism.
Fears linking refugees and crime are much less pervasive, although nearly half in Italy and Sweden say refugees are more to blame for crime than other groups.
Sweden and Germany are the only countries where at least half say refugees make their nation stronger because of their work and talents.
In eight of the 10 European nations surveyed, half or more believe incoming refugees increase the likelihood of terrorism in their country.
And only 17% back American drone strikes against leaders of extremist groups, even if they are conducted in conjunction with the Pakistani government.
Additionally, over the last few years, Pakistanis have become less willing to work with the U.S. on efforts to combat extremist groups.
While 50% still want the U.S. to provide financial and humanitarian aid to areas where extremists operate, this is down from 72% in 2009.
Similarly, fewer Pakistanis now want intelligence and logistical support from the U.S. than they did three years ago.
Venezuelans in this statistical profile are people who self-identified as Hispanics of Venezuelan origin; this means either they themselves are Venezuelan immigrants or they trace their family ancestry to Venezuela.
An estimated 248,000 Hispanics of Venezuelan origin resided in the United States in 2013, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of the Census Bureau’s American Community Survey.
In comparison, Mexicans, the nation’s largest Hispanic origin group, constituted 34.6 million, or 64.1%, of the Hispanic population in 2013.
Venezuelans are the 13th-largest population of Hispanic origin living in the United States, accounting for 0.5% of the U.S. Hispanic population in 2013.
At the same time, the foreign-born population of Venezuelan origin living in the U.S. grew by 388%, up from 35,000 in 1990 to 170,000 in 2013.
Since 1990, the Venezuelan-origin population has grown more than fivefold, going from 49,000 to 248,000 over the period.
A survey we conducted last month found that figure has now risen to 43%.
The long-standing tension between religious beliefs and the idea of same-sex marriage has been a key factor at play behind recently proposed bills in several states, most visibly in Arizona, aimed at protecting business owners who have religious objections to same-sex marriage.
At the same time, however, new Pew Research Center data from 2014 show that just within the past year, growing shares of some Christian groups favor allowing gay and lesbian couples to marry.
The sharpest change has occurred among black Protestants, only 32% of whom favored same-sex marriage in our aggregated 2013 polling.
Majorities of Hispanic and Asian Americans also say the protests have received the right amount of attention or not enough.
Opinions are also divided along racial and ethnic lines.
The largest share of White adults (49%) say the protests have drawn too much attention from news organizations, while around a third (34%) say they’ve gotten the right amount of attention and 17% say they’ve gotten too little.
Black adults overwhelmingly say the protests have drawn either the right amount of attention (45%) or not enough (42%); just 13% believe they have received too little attention.
Some 44% of all Hispanic adults — and fully half of all first-generation Hispanic immigrants — say that today’s children in this country will grow up to be better off than people are now, according to a recent Pew Research Center survey.
By contrast, just 33% of both whites and black hold this positive view.
The percentage of the public thinking the war was going very well was as high as 71% on Friday and Saturday, only to fall to 52% on Sunday and 38% Monday as the public learned of American casualties and POW’s.
Only 8% went as far as to say the war effort was not going well.
Overall, the interviews by Sunday and Monday found about as many people thinking the war effort was going just fairly well (41%) as opposed to very well (45%).
In 2015, the unemployment rate in Romania decreased from over 0.06 to 0.04.
Unemployment has reduced overall since 1999 although there have been many changes (both increases and decreases) over the 21 years shown in the line graph.
Just 17% say they have heard “a lot” about the movement.
A majority (54%) of U.S. adults say they have heard “nothing at all” about the “alt-right” movement and another 28% have heard only “a little” about it, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
Since 2008 there has been a steady increase in agriculture until 2018.
2012 was the only year in which agriculture decreased.
Halfway through fiscal 2017, more than 200,000 unauthorized immigrants have renewed their benefits so far.
Requests for renewals have increased significantly each quarter since spring 2016 – from about 16,000 in the third quarter of fiscal 2016 to about 122,000 in the second quarter of fiscal 2017 – as an increasing number of program participants have become eligible to renew their benefits for another two years.
30.)
(The latest government data include the first two quarters of fiscal year 2017, through March 31; the full fiscal year ends Sept.
Since 2012, about 800,000 such renewals have been issued.
The numbers dropped from 2005-07 and then steadily from there, so there were less than 700 million from 2017-19.
The number of malnourished / starving people worldwide exceeded 800 million every two years from 2000 through to 2006.
Americans overall get an average of 14.2 out of 32 questions right.
Atheists and agnostics know more about religion than most other religious groups, while people who identify as “nothing in particular” are among the least knowledgeable.
This means that atheists and agnostics are among the highest scorers on the survey – along with Jews and evangelical Protestants – while those who say their religion is “nothing in particular” have some of the lowest scores.
Out of 32 multiple-choice questions on the survey, atheists and agnostics get more than half right, on average (17.9 and 17.0 questions correct, respectively), while those who say their religion is “nothing in particular” get about a third correct (11.4 questions).
Portugal and the UK also had longer sentences than the other countries.
The shortest sentences were in Sweded, Lithuania and Poland.
Greece abd Portugal appear to give the harshest prison sentences for Terror related offences.
Greece had by far the longest average sentences for terrorist offences.
While their rate of imprisonment has decreased the most in recent years, black Americans remain far more likely than their Hispanic and white counterparts to be in prison.
There were 1,501 black prisoners for every 100,000 black adults at the end of 2018, according to a new report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS), the statistical agency of the U.S. Justice Department.
These statistics only count inmates sentenced to more than a year in state or federal prison.
They exclude inmates held in local jails and those sentenced to shorter periods of imprisonment.
The black imprisonment rate at the end of 2018 was nearly twice the rate among Hispanics (797 per 100,000) and more than five times the rate among whites (268 per 100,000).
Between 2006 and 2018, the imprisonment rate fell 26% among Hispanics and 17% among whites.
That was down sharply from 2,261 black inmates per 100,000 black adults at the end of 2006, according to an earlier BJS study.
Imprisonment rates have also declined for the two other major racial or ethnic groups tracked by BJS – Hispanic and white Americans – though not as much as among blacks.
And a plurality (41%) say defense spending should be kept the same.
Bush’s presidency, 40% wanted to decrease defense spending and just 18% favored increasing it.
In 1990, during George H.W.
Currently, there is no public consensus on defense spending: 32% say it should be increased, virtually unchanged from 31% two years ago.
About a quarter (24%) say it should be decreased, down from 30% in 2011.
Public views on military defense spending have shifted substantially over the past quarter-century.
By contrast, in February 2002, following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, a 60% majority backed increased spending on military defense, with just 5% saying spending should be lowered.
Roughly half or more of the publics in seven of the nine nations surveyed that are involved in negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade and investment treaty, which is being pushed by the Obama administration, say such an accord would be good for their countries, though Americans are among the least supportive.
Majorities or pluralities in five of eight TPP countries say it’s more important to have strong economic ties with the U.S. than China.
In its geopolitical rivalry with China, U.S. efforts to “pivot” to Asia – both economically and militarily – have general public support on both sides of the Pacific.
Back pain, sleep problems and headaches are the three prone symptoms which adults experiences in 2017.
The sales volume of books has generally decreased from 2010 to 2014.
The lowest sales volume was about 140 million books in 2003.
This decrease was from the high of 240 million books to about 175 million books in 2014.
The sales volume of books was roughly constant from 2006 to 2010.
The sales volume of books generally increased from 2003 to 2007.
The largest sales volume was about 240 million books in 2009.
On the flip side, teens now spend 18 more minutes a day in active pursuits such as playing sports or exercising compared with teens a decade ago.
What has not changed substantially is the amount of time they spend on screens in the summer: Teens now devote more than three and a half hours a day to activities such as gaming, watching TV, surfing the web and watching videos – a figure that has ticked down only slightly in the past decade.
While this still accounts for the bulk of their waking hours, it represents a 24-minute decline from a decade ago.
This decline has been largely driven by a 22-minute drop in time spent socializing or going to entertainment or sporting events.
Teens now spend about seven and a half hours a day engaged in leisure activities during the summer.
Among this age group, negative views have roughly doubled since the question was first asked.
These are among the findings of a new survey by Pew Research Center, conducted March 3 to 29, 2020, among 1,000 adults in the U.S.
Older Americans, however, still take a more negative stance than their younger compatriots on most aspects of the U.S.-China relationship.
But while half or more of those 50 and older have held negative views of China since 2012, this is the first year in which more than half of younger Americans also have an unfavorable opinion.
This has been the case every year since the Center first asked the question 15 years ago.
The survey also finds that younger people, who have historically been more positive than older Americans toward China, now increasingly hold negative views of the country and are more prone to see it as a threat to the U.S. than in previous years.
Older Americans, those ages 50 and older, are more likely than those ages 18 to 29 to have unfavorable views of China.
Half of the sample was asked about ISIS and the other half was asked about the broader threat of “Islamic extremist groups like al Qaeda,” which registered similar concern (71% major threat, 19% minor threat, 6% not a threat).
The same share rates China’s emergence as a world power and global climate change as major.
However, the public shows less concern today about the international spread of diseases than it did in May 2001: About two-thirds (66%) then said it was a major threat, following an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the U.K. and the ongoing “mad cow disease” .
In light of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, roughly half (52%) believe the spread of infectious diseases between countries is a major threat and four-in-ten (40%) label it a minor threat.
About half (48%) label the continuing conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians as a major threat to the U.S.
Following the beheading of American journalist James Foley, two-thirds of the public (67%) cite ISIS as a major threat to the U.S. About two-in-ten (21%) name the Islamic militant group in Iraq and Syria as a “minor threat” and just 5% say it is not a threat.
Hispanics make up the highest share of all eligible voters in New Mexico (42.6%), followed by California (30.0%), Texas (29.8%), Arizona (23.4%) and Florida (19.8%).
About seven-in-ten (71%) Hispanic eligible voters live in just six states in 2017 – California (7.7 million), Texas (5.4 million), Florida (3.0 million), New York (2.0 million), Arizona (1.1 million) and Illinois (1.0 million).
As Egyptians head to the polls, the economy is their biggest concern, according to the Pew survey conducted March 19 to April 10.
About six-in-ten say it is very important to live in a country with a free press (62%); free speech (60%); and honest, competitive elections with at least two political parties (58%).
Only 27% describe the current economic situation as good.
And regardless of which candidate wins the presidency, he will face high economic expectations – 50% think the economy will improve in the next 12 months; just 20% say it will get worse.
In addition to these fundamental components of democracy, Egyptians also want order: 60% rate law and order as very important.
Moreover, Egyptians do not just voice support for democracy in a general sense – they also want specific democratic rights and institutions.
In particular, they want a fair judiciary: 81% consider it is very important to live in a country with a judicial system that treats everyone in the same way.
Roughly eight-in-ten (81%) consider improving the economy a very important priority for the country.
Roughly eight-in-ten believe refugees are a burden on their country because they take jobs and social benefits.
Observers expect Hungarians to deliver a resounding “no” to accepting EU-mandated refugee quotas in a referendum Sunday.
Similarly, about three-quarters believe that refugees will increase the likelihood of terrorism in Hungary, and about seven-in-ten see the large influx of refugees from countries like Syria and Iraq as a major threat.
Despite the country’s labor shortage, Hungarians overwhelmingly see refugees as an economic albatross, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted this spring.
Such controversy has exacerbated tensions within the EU on Hungary’s adherence to European values of pluralism and liberal democracy.
Through the course of a highly controversial campaign, Orbán has been criticized for referring to refugees as “poison” and supporting campaign ads linking refugees to terrorism.
These figures are much higher in Hungary than in almost every other EU nation surveyed.
