This article from Ipsos highlights the key statistics and findings from the BBC Global Survey conducted in January and February 2018. The online poll asked 19,428 adults under 65 years old in 27 countries about their perspectives on their country’s social tensions and divisions. The study finds that 76% of the respondents say their country’s society is divided, especially compared to 10 years ago. The division is perceived to be attributed to differences in political views (44%), between rich and poor (36%), between immigrants and non-immigrants (30%), and between religions (27%). The study also asked respondents’ views on their country’s tolerance of differences. 50% view their country as not very/not at all tolerant, while 46% view their country as very/fairly tolerant. Nonetheless, 65% of the respondents believe that people across countries have more commonalities than differences.
