Indian adults (81%) follow some restrictions on meat in their diet, including

Research Center survey. (While there are many ways to define “vegetarian” in
India, the survey left the definition up to the respondent.) (PEW) JULY 8,

17-year olds in England and Wales, can marry with their parents’ permission
while in Scotland they can marry at 16 of their own will. However, Sajid

cultural and religious reasons" and is seeking to end them with
legislation. Further to this, more than half of the public (55%) think that
marriage should only become legal at the age of 18, In fact, a greater
proportion of people are in favour of raising the age of marriage to 21 (14%)

two to three times higher frequency in women compared to men, regardless of

Seven
In Ten (69%) Recognize Tension Between
Rich And Poor, 37% Note Tension Between Men And Women Toronto,
ON June 8th, 2021 — A once-in-a-lifetime event like the COVID-19 pandemic can
serve to bring people together, or to highlight their divisions. Over the
course of the past 15 months, countries from around the world have seen news
headlines discussing the “she-cession”, or health inequities between
different races and age groups. Despite many saying “we’re all in this
together,” a new global Ipsos study suggests many countries around the world
perceive divisions within their borders. Greatest
tension in Canada between the rich and poor A new Ipsos Global
Advisor poll, carried out in partnership with the Policy Institute at King’s
College London asked respondents in 28 countries to indicate how much tension
there is between varying demographic groups. Canadians indicate that the dichotomy
between the rich and the poor is the most tense relationship (69%) in the
country, in line with the data showing people worldwide perceive most tension
to exist between the rich and poor (Global Country Average of 74% say there
is at least a fair amount of tension). Notably, despite
conversations in the media and political realms about gender equality or the
disproportionate impact of the pandemic on women, Canadians place tensions
between the binary genders as some of the lowest in relative terms with only
37% stating there is at least a fair amount of tension between the genders. With financial
tensions ranking as the highest in the nation, and gender differences being
perceived as some of the lowest, in the middle is a variety of dichotomies
Canadians were asked to weigh in on.
Canadians indicated
that the relationship between different ethnicities is the second most tense
relationship (64% say there is a good deal/fair amount of tension) in their
country. Similar proportions indicate that tensions between immigrants and
people born in Canada (63%), between social progressives and those with
traditional values (61%), those of differing social class (59%) and those who
support different political parties (59%) also plague the country. There is relatively
less tension seen between those of differing religions (53%), between old and
young (38%), by levels of education (33%), or between cities and those
outside cities (36%). It is notable that in
all cases except one, the perceived tensions in Canada fall below that of the
global average, which would suggest that Canadians have lower societal
tensions than most countries. However, Canada sits slightly above average
regarding tensions between differing ethnic groups, indicating that there may
be strain below the surface for a country which prides itself in welcoming
newcomers and immigrants. Canadians
ambivalent towards being politically correct People in the 28
countries surveyed were asked to rate their feelings about political
correctness on a scale from 0 to 7, with 0 meaning many people are too easily
offended and 7 meaning people need to change the way they talk to be more
sensitive to those from different backgrounds. Overall, in most of the
countries most people leaned towards believing we need to change the way
people talk (in the Global Country Average, 31% placed themselves 0 to 3 on
the scale and 60% 4 to 7). Canadians were most likely to feel ambivalent
(45%) towards political correctness, not leaning towards either pole. Culture
wars less of a concern for Canadians Just over a third of
people globally think their country is divided by “culture wars”. Respondents
were asked “From what you see on TV, in the news media, and online and in
your conversations with others, to what extent do you agree or disagree that
[your country] is divided by “culture wars”?” Three in ten (28%) Canadians
agreed with this statement, below the global country average of 35%. In contrast to other
polled nations, Canada fell well below South Africa and the United States
which led polling with 58% and 57% of respective respondents agreeing that
culture wars divide their nations. However, Canada shows less unity than
Japan, where only 9% of respondents agreed that culture wars plague their
country. Notably, while in most
countries relatively few actively disagreed with the statement, the level of
“don’t knows” remains fairly high, suggesting that the concept of a “culture
war” may remain unfamiliar for many. (Ipsos Canada) 8 July 2021 |
