GLOBAL SURVEY HIGHLIGHTS FEAR OF FUTURE AND LACK OF FAITH IN WORLD LEADERS

Nearly half those questioned believe the next generation will live in a more dangerous world

Geneva, Switzerland, 17 January 2008 − The latest findings of a global survey carried out for the World Economic Forum show a lack of faith that the next generation will live in a safer world.

Gallup International questioned 61,600 people in 60 countries for the “Voice of the PeopleTM” survey. The interviews, which were carried out between October and December 2007, represent the views of almost 1.5 billion global citizens. The survey comes ahead of the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2008 in Davos (23-27 January). This year’s theme is: The Power of Collaborative Innovation.
