While there are wide political divides in public views of the potential for harm from climate change.
These political orientations appear to serve as an anchoring point for how knowledge influences peoples’ attitudes.
This pattern is consistent with an array of scholarly literature which suggests that people’s political worldviews shape how science knowledge influences attitudes on climate-related matters.
People’s level of science knowledge helps to a degree to explain their beliefs about climate change, but the relationship is complicated.
But there are no differences or only modest differences among Republicans holding high, medium and low science knowledge levels in their expectations of harms to the Earth’s ecosystems because of climate change.
A majority of Democrats holding medium or high levels of science knowledge said it was “very likely” that climate change would lead to rising sea levels that erode beaches and shore lines, harm to animal wildlife and their habitats, damage to forests and plant life, storms that are more severe, and more droughts or water shortages.
Overall, very few say the countries of the European Union are the world’s leading economic power, though 18% in Germany and 16% in Denmark hold this view.
South Korea and Japan – the two nations geographically closest to China among those surveyed – are the only countries where the U.S. is the most common choice for the leading economic power.
In Australia, Canada and the European countries surveyed, China is the top choice.
A median of 34% across the 13 countries surveyed believe the U.S. is the world’s leading economic power, while almost half (48%) say the same of China.
In 2014, 15% of sub-Saharan Africans owned a smartphone, compared with 33% who own one today.
The percentage of people who are online in each country is highly correlated with countries’ gross domestic product per capita (PPP).
Globally, internet use is much more common in wealthier countries.
Still, the gap in internet use between emerging and advanced economies has narrowed.
Whereas internet use in many of the world’s advanced economies has plateaued in recent years, use in sub-Saharan Africa has notably increased.
The number of people connected to the internet is likely to continue to rise, too; industry projections suggest that the smartphone adoption rate in sub-Saharan Africa will double by 2025.
Regionally, internet use is lowest in sub-Saharan Africa, where a median of 41% across six countries use the internet.
South Africa (59%) is the only country in the region where at least half the population is online.
The pay for workers at political organizations also has begun fluctuating over the past decade, with off-year pay being slightly higher than election-year pay.
In 2012, that figure dropped to $44,000, before rising again to $51,000 in 2013.
In 2011, the average annual pay was $49,000.
Over time, the data show that workers at political organizations are making more than they used to.
On average, workers in this category made $51,000 in 2013, 76% more than the $29,000 in inflation-adjusted dollars they made in 1978.
In 2009 the age structure of 0-14 year olds was approximately 0.23 whilst in 2019 it was approximately 0.19.
The age structure in Chile is decreasing over time.
This suggests the population is getting older in Chile with less young people being born.
In advance of Friday’s jobs report, the public’s assessment of job availability in their local communities has improved modestly.
But that has done nothing to boost overall economic optimism.
The new national survey by the Pew Research Center, conducted August 20-24 among 1,501 adults finds that 33% say there are plenty of jobs available where they live, while 58% say that jobs are difficult to find.
Nearly two years ago, in December 2012, just 22% said there were plenty of jobs locally.
The share saying jobs are available has ticked up from 29% in July and 27% in April.
The least popular leisure activity in 2013 is Gardening.
The most popular leisure activity is Watching TV.
Even as Clinton led throughout, the share of voters who remained consistently loyal to her over the course of the election was far smaller than her overall support in any single survey.
By April 2016, near the end of the Democratic primaries, Clinton was named the first choice of 46% of Democratic voters in an open-ended question about their nomination preferences.
Fully 44% of Democratic voters changed their preferences at least once in the surveys conducted over this four-month period, including those who may have been undecided at some point.
But many Democratic voters vacillated in their candidate support throughout this period.
And even fewer, just 15%, had consistently named her their first choice going all the way back to March 2015.
Hillary Clinton led Bernie Sanders for the Democratic nomination in every Pew Research Center survey conducted throughout the party’s primaries.
But only 29% had consistently named her their first choice in December 2015, March 2016 and April 2016.
This fluidity wasn’t confined to Clinton supporters: Sanders was the top choice of 37% of Democratic voters in April 2016, but only about half of these supporters (20% of all Democratic voters) consistently backed Sanders across the three primary-season surveys.
Because of the federal government shutdown, there was no official word from the Bureau of Labor Statistics Friday on September’s unemployment rate or how many payroll jobs businesses added last month (the more significant indicator, according to most economists).
But we do have a fairly reliable substitute: the monthly report on private-sector jobs produced by Automatic Data Processing, or ADP.
According to ADP, businesses added 166,000 jobs last month.
The chart shows a general trend of increasing revenues.
2003/2004 had the lowest revenue.
From 2002 to 2012 revenue remained pretty level around the 100million level.
There was a sharper increase in revenue in 2017 which continued until 2019 when revenues peaked above 250.million USD.
2018/2019 had the greatest revenue.
Revenues increased steadily from 2013 to 2016 to a 150 million US dollar mark.
Two-thirds (66%) of Democrats expect a bill to pass compared with 49% of independents and 40% of Republicans.
And despite the Nov. 21 procedural vote in the Senate, which allowed for debate on a bill to begin, the public did not shift its views on the prospects for reform.
Opinion on this question has been largely stable throughout the month of November.
As has consistently been the case, Democrats are more likely than Republicans and independents to say they think a health care reform bill will pass over the next year.
A 52% majority of the public thinks a health care reform bill will pass over the next year; 37% say that they do not expect a bill to pass and 11% aren’t sure.
Respondents interviewed in the two days immediately following the vote were no more likely than those interviewed prior to the vote to say they expected a health care reform bill to pass.
The comfortable setting seems to make clients of massage therapists tip more.
Those working in hospitals receive the worst.
Massage therapists working in hotels, resorts and cruises receive the best tips.
That massage therapists don't get much tips in a clinical setting and get the most in leisure settings like cruises, hotels, spas and salons.
Since 2012 this has grown significantly to 25m+.
Arrivals were consistent between 2006 and 2012 at 15m.
One-in-four Americans (24%) said this was the story they followed more closely than any other, greater than twice the number citing any other story listed.
For 9% of Americans, this was the story they followed most closely.
The Iraq policy debate in Washington also captured substantial public attention while finishing first (17%) in terms of news coverage.
The significant amount of coverage devoted to the president’s unannounced visit to Iraq and discussions leading up to the Iraq progress report from Gen. David Petraeus contributed to the story’s prominence in the news.
Events in Iraq were by far the most closely followed news story of the week.
By 2035, the number of babies born to Muslims is projected to modestly exceed births to Christians, mostly due to Muslims’ relatively young population and high fertility rates.
Muslims are projected to be the world’s fastest-growing major religious group in the decades ahead.
There is a substantial – and growing – partisan divide on abortion, with Democrats and those who lean toward the Democratic Party much more likely than Republicans and GOP leaners to support legal abortion in all or most cases (82% vs. 36%).
There also are large gaps based on religious affiliation.
For example, three-quarters of white evangelical Protestants (77%) say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, while an even larger share of religiously unaffiliated Americans (83%) take the opposing view, saying that abortion should be mostly or entirely legal.
The import value was highest in May 2019 at more than 30000 million Kenyan shillings.
The rate was lowest in May 2020 at less than 10000 million Kenyan shillings.
The value feel more than 20,000 million Kenyan shillings between March and May 2020.
Others seem to represent the majority of the market share but we are unsure how many companies make up the others category.
The rest seem to be rather well distributed within their market share.
The main company seems to be private iabel.
Now, 10% say they would oppose such a marriage in their family, down from 31% in 2000.
The biggest decline has occurred among nonblacks: Today, 14% of nonblacks say they would oppose a close relative marrying a black person, down from 63% in 1990.
Americans today also are less likely to oppose a close relative marrying someone of a different race or ethnicity.
the number of registered triumph tiger motorcycles increased dramatically from 2010.
The number reached around 20,000 in 2019, increasing from around 1000 in 2000.
According to Pew Hispanic Center tabulations of the 2006 American Community Survey, more than half (55%) of Latinos ages 18 and older are immigrants, and 47% of all immigrants ages 18 and older are Hispanic.
The top-rated issue among Latinos is the economy; 57% of Hispanics say it is an extremely important one for the new president to address.
Latinos, who make up 15% of the U.S. population, are by far the nation’s biggest immigrant group.
Education, health care, national security and the environment all also rate higher than immigration as a policy priority among Hispanics, while energy policy ranks lower.
Even at the apex of the congressional debate over immigration reform in 2007, however, the issue never rose to the top of Latinos’ priority list.
But back then, 38% of Hispanics judged immigration to be an extremely important issue—more than the 31% who say the same thing in the new survey.
Of six issues asked of Latinos in a 2007 Pew Hispanic Center survey, it ranked fifth.
Only three-in-ten (31%) Latinos rate immigration as an “extremely important” issue facing the incoming Obama administration, placing it sixth on a list of seven policy priorities that respondents were asked to assess in a nationwide survey of 1,007 Latino adults conducted from December 3 to December 10, 2008 by the Pew Hispanic Center, a project of the Pew Research Center.
London has the highest number of McDonald's restaurants in the United Kingdom (UK) in 2017.
The UK area with the highest amount of Mc Donalds restaurants in 2017 was London with over 175 branches, followed closely by North West and South West, both with over 150 restaurants each.
Northern Ireland with about 25 McDonald's restaurants has the least number in 2017.
Most of the regions in the UK have less than 150 McDonald's restaurants in 2017.
The region with the lowest amount was Northern Ireland with around 25 branches.
By comparison, 26% of whites, 29% of Hispanics and 33% of Asians say the legacy of slavery affects the position of black people in American society a great deal, though majorities in each group say it does so at least a fair amount.
This year marked the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first slave ship in Jamestown, Virginia.
Seniors, like any other demographic group, are not monolithic, and there are important distinctions in their tech adoption patterns, beginning with age itself.
Internet use and broadband adoption among seniors each fall off notably starting at approximately age 75.
Some 68% of Americans in their early 70s go online, and 55% have broadband at home.
By contrast, internet adoption falls to 47% and broadband adoption falls to 34% among 75-79 year olds.
Overall, 5G was considered the highest priority investment area, with an over 0.65 share of respondents.
Other unnamed interests made up less than a 0.1 share.
The next highest priority was Internet of Things (IoT) with just under a 0.5 share.
Further interests, in order of share size, were Digital Transformation, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning and BSS/OSS.
Cloud came in third with a share of just over 0.45.
In 2016, Democrats with high science knowledge were far more likely than Democrats with low science knowledge to say a series of environmental impacts would be very likely to occur as a result of climate change, including rising sea levels and intensifying storms.
Science knowledge is closely related to expectations for harm from climate change among Democrats, but not among Republicans.
But there are only modest or no differences among Republicans with different levels of science knowledge in their expectations of harm to the Earth’s ecosystems.
In thinking about relations with China, 47% say having a strong economic relationship is the most important thing to do, while 45% believe the best way forward is to be tough on territorial disputes between Japan and China.
Nevertheless, the Japanese are divided on how best to deal with their superpower neighbor.
In 2012, the lowest Gender parity index in Primary Education is Sub Saharan Africa at 0.9 and the highest Caucasus and Central Asia at 1.0.
All countries/areas are between 0.9 and 1.0.
In Primary education there was more of a gender parity in Southern Asia and least of a parity in Sub Saharan Africa.
Almost all (84%) of unauthorized migrants in this age range are under age 45.
In contrast, only about three-fifths of native and legal immigrants of working age are under 45.
This chart shows several measures of age composition for families and compares those families headed by unauthorized migrants with those headed by legal immigrants and natives.
A much higher share of persons in unauthorized families are children (under 18)—35% among unauthorized families versus 29% among legal immigrant families and only 24% among native families.
At the other end of the age spectrum, virtually none of the unauthorized population is elderly (65 and over).
Among working-age (18-64) adults, the unauthorized population is also substantially younger.
The general conclusion of these comparisons is that, by almost any measure, unauthorized families are much younger, on the whole than either native families or families of legal immigrants.
In contrast, about 1 in 6 native adults and the same share of legal immigrant adults is aged 65 or older.
Nearly a third (32%) of Democrats are what we call Solid Liberals, while about a fifth (21%) are part of what we call the Faith and Family Left — a somewhat more socially conservative group than Solid Liberals.
Add in the younger, more economically moderate Next Generation Left (18%) and you have seven out of 10 Americans who identify with or incline toward the Democrats.
Similarly, impressions of news about gas prices remain more negative than positive (44% bad news, 32% mixed news, 15% good news).
These ratings also are somewhat worse than they were in February.
The UMich index is derived from three questions on personal financial expectations a year from now and expectations for the U.S. economy one and five years out, relative to a 1966 base year.
We looked at two measures of consumer confidence: the University of Michigan’s Index of Consumer Expectations (part of its broader monthly surveys of consumer sentiment) and the European Consumer Confidence Indicator, produced by Eurostat, the EU’s statistical research office.
While the two metrics are broadly similar, they’re calculated differently and reported on different scales.
The EU metric is the average of the answers to four questions covering expectations for household finances, general economic conditions, unemployment and personal savings over the next 12 months.
(Not that Americans are ready to throw the economy a parade: In August, a Pew Research Center survey found that 54% of the public expected national economic conditions to be about the same a year from now, while 22% expected conditions to be better and the same percentage expected them to be worse.)
Despite some ups and downs, the U.S. expectations index generally has been trending modestly upward since the beginning of 2012; October’s preliminary reading of 78.4, in fact, was the second-highest since the official end of the Great Recession.
Overall, two-thirds of the public (67%) says “everything possible should be done to make it easy for every citizen to vote,” while only about a third (32%) say citizens “should have to prove they want to vote” by registering in advance.
Perhaps the most telling partisan divisions are on how easy voting should be in the United States.
Swedes and Brits are the most positive: Roughly six-in-ten think immigrant talent benefits their country, and half or more in Germany, Spain, France and the Netherlands say the same.
A median of 53% say that migrants make their country stronger through their hard work and talents, while 41% believe they take jobs and social benefits.
Since 2014, more people in France (increase of 11 percentage points), the UK (+10) and Spain (+9) share the view that immigrants strengthen their country.
But just 5% in Hungary express this view.
Opinions on this issue have shifted with time in some countries.
The European countries included in the survey hold differing views on how immigrants impact society and the economy.
YouTube is the second-largest social networking site, behind Facebook.
Although YouTube has a smaller reach than Facebook, it is more widely used than LinkedIn (25%), Google Plus (24%) and Twitter (21%).
A 2014 Pew Research Center study of online adults found that three-quarters (77%) of internet users are on Facebook, while 63% use YouTube.
actually this isnt great - the abuse has remained the same - in the higher region - has increased then decreased a little - in a reality it looks bad.
The number of child abuse cases in the US increased until roughly the year 2001 when there is around 900,000 cases, The number of child abuse cases then decreases until roughly the year 2004 and then there is an overall decrease in child abuse cases following 2005.
In 1990, production of ethanolamines was sitting at about 350 thousand metric tons and it climbed steadily for the next ten years.
Over the course of the next 15 years from 2005 to 2020, production slowed but continued to rise nonetheless.
In the next 5 years, production rose more quickly and hit a high point of  over 600 thousand metric tonnes.
Putin also has the support of more than half the country when it comes to energy policy and civil society.
Despite Russians’ lukewarm view of the economy, a majority (55%) still approves of Putin’s handling of the issue.
The only area included in the survey in which he fails to earn majority approval is the issue of corruption.
Turin shows the lowest average temperature, with the highest being Catania and Palermo.
Temperatures range from around 12 degrees to around 18 degrees.
The data shown only relates to the years 1971-1980.
Half in emerging markets say the same compared with just about a third in developing economies (34%).
People in developing economies are much less satisfied with their lives than those in either advanced or emerging nations.
In just two of the nine developing countries surveyed do more than half rate their life situation highly.
Latin American publics are the most content, with roughly two-thirds or more in Mexico, Venezuela, Brazil and Argentina saying they are doing well.
Israel, the U.S., Germany and the UK stand out as the happiest among advanced economies, with roughly six-in-ten or more saying they are near the top of life’s ladder.
About six-in-ten or more say the same in several Asian countries including Vietnam, China and Indonesia.
In each of these four nations, about two-in-ten or more put themselves at the bottom of the ladder with a rating of three or below, including nearly a third (31%) in Egypt.
On average, people in advanced and emerging economies are considerably happier with their life situation than those in developing economies.
On a ladder where 10 represents the best possible life and 0 represents the worst possible life, a median of 53% in rich nations say they currently stand somewhere between 7 and 10.
In addition, few Ukrainians are happy with their current life situation, perhaps reflecting the considerable turmoil in their country.
In 12 of the 24 emerging markets, at least half rate their life satisfaction highly.
And in four nations, a quarter or more say they are dissatisfied with their life today, including 30% in Tanzania who give a rating of three or below, 29% in Uganda, and 25% each in Ghana and Kenya.
The Greeks are the least satisfied, and the only advanced public where a significant percentage places themselves near the bottom of the ladder (21% saying 0,1,2 or 3).
Middle Eastern publics, such as people in Tunisia, Jordan and Egypt, tend to be the least satisfied among emerging nations.
Another 14% say they most closely followed news about the conditi0n of the nation’s struggling economy, according to the latest weekly News Interest Index survey conducted July 14-17 among 1,006 adults by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press.
News about the debt limit debate made up 31% of the newshole, much more than any other story.
More general news about the state of the economy accounted for 4% of coverage, while state and local budget woes accounted for another 1%, according to a separate analysis by the Pew Research Center’s Project for Excellence in Journalism (PEJ).
About three-in-ten (31%) say they followed the discussions about how to address the federal deficit and national debt more closely than any other story.
About half of adults (49%) say the United States has mostly failed in achieving its goals there, while about a third (35%) say it has mostly succeeded, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
Seventeen years into the U.S. military mission in Afghanistan, Americans remain pessimistic about U.S. efforts in the country.
Another 16% say they do not know if the U.S. has succeeded or failed.
About half of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents (48%) say the U.S. has succeeded, compared with about three-in-ten Democrats and Democratic leaning independents (28%).
Republicans are now more optimistic than Democrats that the U.S. mission in Afghanistan has succeeded in achieving its goals, according to the new survey, conducted Sept. 18-24 among 1,754 adults.
The total assets of the Italen banking system increased from 3,700 billion EUR in 2008 to 4,200 billion EUR in 2012.
This graphic is almost linear,  there aren't so many differences between the years The 2012 was a bit higher.
During the period 2008 to 2012, assets in the Italian banking system steadily rose from around 3,600 to around 4,200 billion euros.
The total assets remained steady at 3,950 billion EUR between 2015 and 2017.
The figure in 2012 is the highest in the period 2008 to 2017.
The assets of the Italian banking system peaked in 2012 at 4,200 billion EUR.
Following the high in 2012 the assets fell, slower than they rose, to 4,000 in 2014 before becoming stable at around 3,900 for the years 2015 to the H1 of 2017.
The assets of the Italian banking system decreased from 4,200 billion EUR in 2012 to 3,950 billion EUR in 2015.
