India ranked 4th globally in optimism, 62% citizens hopeful of great future: Ipsos survey
The April wave of the 'Ipsos What Worries the World' survey ranked India fourth in optimism. It further revealed that citizens from Peru, South Korea and France were pessimistic about the future read more Defying global trend, the majority of Indian nationals are quite optimistic about the country's future, with 62 per cent of them saying their nation is headed in the right direction. The April wave of the 'Ipsos What Worries the World' survey ranked India in fourth position in optimism. It further revealed that citizens from Peru, South Korea and France were pessimistic about the future. The three nations ranked above India are also from global south—Singapore (85 per cent), Malaysia (70 per cent), Indonesia (67 per cent). STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Amit Adarkar, CEO, Ipsos India, said the fact that India was located way far from active warzones in Gaza and Ukraine put the country in an advantageous position. 'We have the global advantage of being geographically away from both Ukraine and Gaza, the epicentres of wars. India and the other global south markets have largely been driven by domestic consumption and domestic economy. And India also has the demographic dividend, leading to economic growth .This survey was conducted before the Trump tarriffs were announced (with a 90-day pause to reciprocal tariff) and before the Pahalgam terror strike took place. These events have heightened anxiety and fear among citizens which have not been captured in the current wave. India being a strong economy and a resilient market, it will continue to stay on grid. But the unrest at the borders and the looming reciprocal tariffs by the Trump govt could lead to a strong impact on India's fortunes," Adarkar said. 'Ipsos' What Worries the World survey tracks public opinion on the most important social and political issues across 29 countries today. And inflation continues to impact both global and local citizens with high cost of living, as a consequence of global economic slowdown, wars in Gaza and Ukraine and now with tough measures by the Trump regime on the anvil, in terms of job cuts and reciprocal tariffs, we are bracing for tougher times ahead. With the terror strike in Pahalgam and India's tough call, the citizens are likely to bear the brunt of these new developments, with increase in prices of essential commodities and slowdown in inbound travel of foreign tourists, impacting the economy," Adarkar added. 'Govts should focus on their local worries to provide reprieve to citizens, as these concerns weigh heavily on them," stated Adarkar. More about the survey This Global Advisor survey was conducted in 29 countries between March 21 and April 4 through the Ipsos Online Panel system, involving a total of 25,219 adults. Participants were aged 18 to 74 in countries like Canada, Israel, Malaysia, South Africa, Türkiye, and the United States; 20 to 74 in Indonesia and Thailand; 21 to 74 in Singapore; and 16 to 74 in the remaining nations.

Methodology This 29-country Global Advisor survey was conducted between March 21 and April 4 via the Ipsos Online Panel system among 25,219 adults aged 18-74 in Canada, Israel, Malaysia, South Africa, Türkiye and the United States, 20-74 in Indonesia and Thailand, 21-74 in Singapore, and 16-74 in all other nations. The 'Global Country Average" reflects the average result for all the countries where the survey was conducted. It has not been adjusted to the population size of each country and is not intended to suggest a total result." The sample consists of approximately 1000+ individuals in each of Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Spain, Sweden, and the US, and approximately 500+ individuals in each of Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Hungary, Indonesia, Israel, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand and Türkiye. The sample in India consists of approximately 2,200 individuals, of whom approximately 1,800 were interviewed face-to-face and 400 were interviewed online. The samples in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the US can be taken as representative of these countries' general adult population under the age of 75. The samples in Brazil, Chile, Colombia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Singapore, South Africa, Thailand and Türkiye are more urban, more educated, and/or more affluent than the general population. The survey results for these markets should be viewed as reflecting the views of the more 'connected" segment of these populations.

Where results do not sum to 100 or the 'difference' appears to be +/-1 more/less than the actual, this may be due to rounding, multiple responses, or the exclusion of don't knows or not stated responses The publication of these findings abides by local rules and regulations.
