METHODOLOGYThe survey is conducted monthly in 27 countries around the

world via the Ipsos Online Panel. The countries included are

Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, France,

Great Britain, Germany, Hungary, India, Israel, Italy, Japan,

Malaysia, Mexico, Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Russia, Saudi

Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Turkey and

the United States of America.

A survey with an unweighted probability sample of this size would

have an estimated margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points for

a sample of 1,000 and an estimated margin of error of +/- 4.5

percentage points for a 500 sample 19 times out of 20.

For the results of the survey presented herein, an

international sample of 19,016 adults aged 18-74 in the US,

South Africa, Turkey, Israel and Canada, and age 16-74 in all

other countries, were interviewed between July 24th 2020

and August 7th 2020. Approximately 1000+ individuals

participated on a country by country basis via the Ipsos

Online Panel.

In 17 of the 27 countries surveyed internet penetration is

sufficiently high to think of the samples as representative of the

wider population within the age ranges covered: Argentina,

Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy,

Japan, Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Great

Britain and United States.

The precision of Ipsos online polls are calculated using a

credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3.1

percentage points and of 500 accurate to +/- 4.5 percentage

points. For more information on the Ipsos use of credibility

intervals, please visit the Ipsos website.

Weighting has been employed to balance demographics and

ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the

adult population according to the most recent country census

data.

Brazil, Chile, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, Peru, Saudi Arabia,

South Africa and Turkey have lower levels of internet penetration

and so these samples should not be considered nationally

representative, and instead be considered to represent a more

affluent, connected population. These are still a vital social group

to understand in these countries, representing an important and

emerging middle class.
