Global survey: What the young think
|
See the charts below to find out what the under 18s around the world think about the big issues - migration, climate change, terrorism and religion.
Baghdad has the highest number of people who say they would not emigrate, despite the current violence in Iraq.
The clear majority for allowing people to live where they choose suggests aspirations of mobility. On religion 100% of people in Lagos believe in God, this drops to 61% in Moscow.
Although most people see religion as a force for good, this varies widely across the world. Baghdad stands out as the place where most people see religion as a source of conflict. This question was not asked in Cairo.
Terrorism stands out as the major concern of the young, with education coming second.
Young people in Nairobi, Delhi and London have more confidence in the 'War on Terror' than those in New York. This question was not asked in Cairo.

Methodology: The survey was conducted in 10 major cities around the world during October 2006. Over 3,000 15-17-year-olds were questioned; all interviews were face-to-face, except in New York where polling took place online. In each city a poll of 300 youths was undertaken by the research agency Synovate. A sample size of 300 15-17-year-olds is considered representative for each location, despite being a smaller figure than is used for surveys of the whole population. This is because of the smaller number of people in this particular age range, when compared with the whole adult population.
