SUFFERING' IN ARMENIA SECOND HIGHEST WORLDWIDE - GALLUP SURVEY
YEREVAN, December 2, /ARKA/ A Gallup survey revealed that 37 percent of
Armenians rated their lives poorly enough to be considered "suffering.
The list of 'suffering' nations was topped for the third year in a row
by Bulgaria with 39% of Bulgarians rating their lives as 'suffering.'
Following closely were Cambodia, Haiti, Hungary, Malagasy, Macedonia
and Iran, which all reported more than 30 percent of adults rated
their conditions low.
Gallup classifies respondents as "thriving," "struggling," or
"suffering" based on how they rate their current and future lives on
a scale of zero to 10 based on the Cantril Self-Anchoring Striving
Scale. The Princeton, N.J., polling agency said it considers people
to be suffering if they rate their current lives a 4 or lower and
their lives in five years a 4 or lower.
In 20 out of 143 countries and areas surveyed in 2012, at least a
quarter of the adult population rated their lives low enough to be
considered suffering, Gallup said. Worldwide, one in seven adults
was suffering in 2012, results indicated.
Suffering was 2 percent or less in 17 countries and areas, which Gallup
said tended to be wealthier and more developed, including Iceland,
Qatar, Sweden, Norway, United Arab Emirates and Nigeria.
Four percent of Americans ranked themselves low enough to be considered
suffering in 2012.
Results are based on telephone and face-to-face interviews with about
1,000 adults per country. For results based on the total sample of
national adults, the margin of error ranged from 1.7 percentage points
to 5.6 percentage points.
According to the survey, 21 percent of Georgians, 16 percent of
Byelorussians and Russians, 6 percent of Turkmen and 5 percent in
Kyrgyzstan and 4 percent in Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan rated their
lives as 'suffering.' -0-
