The results of a global survey in 56 countries showed that Russia has the highest level of financial uncertainty, reports RBC citing a study conducted by the Gallup International association and the Romir holding company.
“Participants were not asked to directly rate whether they were experiencing uncertainty, but were asked whether they would like to receive an additional bonus of a monthly income right now or double the amount in a year,” the publication reports.
Experts ask this question to determine the country’s standard of living and financial stability. The higher the proportion of those who prefer a delayed double win, the higher the stability. In the Russian Federation, only 20% of respondents prefer double payment, 32% prefer single payment. More than 40% could not decide on an answer.
The highest proportions of responses regarding double wins were recorded in Sweden (75%), the Netherlands (59%), Japan (56%), Germany (55%), Great Britain (54 %). The weakest are in Africa and Latin America.
On average worldwide, 46% would like to receive the full amount of income support immediately, 42% are willing to wait to receive double the amount.
