According to 91 percent of Hungarians, 2020 was a bad year for the country and 74 percent said so about their personal lives in an international survey called “Global Predictions” by Ipsos.
Compared to the world average of 77 percent, a higher proportion of adult Hungarians, 84 percent, believe that next year will be better than today. On the other hand, we see the state of the economy more pessimistically: in December, 45% of Hungarians expect it to strengthen, while elsewhere this proportion averages 54%. With this, we remain more optimistic than many European countries, especially France. Residents of Asian countries, especially Chinese, are optimistic about the economy.
At the time of the second European wave of coronavirus, online interviews with a total of 15,700 respondents from around the world showed that 68 percent of the world’s population believed in the development of a truly effective coronavirus vaccine. A similar rate of 69 per cent was recorded in Hungary. Here, too, China is the most optimistic (92 percent) and France the most pessimistic (48 percent).
According to 61 percent of Hungarians, the vaccine will soon be available to everyone, but almost half of people (46 percent) fear a similar pandemic.
In Hungary, 46 percent of the population believes in the normalization of life after the virus. This is also an outstanding rate around the world, and people in European countries in general are much more pessimistic.
But only 18 percent think the crisis will eventually make Earth a better place, well below the world average of 30 percent. The majority of Hungarians (57 percent) expect an increase in inequalities.
