South Africa confirmed that the Youth unemployment rate in South Africa

The current awareness levels of the new RTR guidelines amongst
consumers are low - with only 17% of respondents saying they have heard of it
and have a good grasp or thorough knowledge of what the new guidelines
entail. The main advantages for consumers relate to “freedom of choice” when
choosing which warranty and/or maintenance plan to purchase. This allows them
to “shop around” and decide on where to service or repair their vehicles.
Further to this, 50% of consumers feel that RTR will financially benefit

695-696-40 Three In Five Urban Indians Would
Watch More Of Women’s Sport If It Was More Accessible On TV YouGov (Click for Details) Globally, a third of people (33%) say they would watch more women’s
sport if it was more accessible on TV.
Agreement with this statement is the highest in India, followed by
Mexico and UAE. The most popular reason people give around the world for not
following women’s sports is the lack of media coverage (40%). Other
supply-side factors acting as barriers to engagement include lack of
knowledge about women’s teams or athletes (35%), lack of marketing (30%) and
limited accessibility of women’s sport on TV (27%). The speed, quality and
physicality of women’s sport is much less likely to be a reason for not
engaging. (YouGov

are moderately positive across the countries surveyed in Arab Barometer’s
sixth wave – in five of seven at least 40 percent have a favorable view of
France overall – views of Macron himself lag significantly. In no country
surveyed do 40 percent of citizens have a positive view of his policies. (Arabbarometer) June 24, 2021 2.5 Foreign

69%
Americans Are Most Likely To Indicate
They Will Currently Still Wear A Mask On Airplanes Or Trains We explored where Americans will continue to wear masks,
and whether they assume that people wearing a mask have not been vaccinated.
The questions about mask-wearing were only asked to Americans because a
greater proportion of the American population is currently fully vaccinated.
With second doses of COVID-19 vaccines being available earlier in certain
provinces, we also explored Canadians’ perspectives on receiving a second
dose. This
survey is conducted in collaboration with the Association for Canadian
Studies (ACS) and published in the Canadian Press. This series of
surveys is available on Leger’s website THE FUTURE OF WEARING
A MASK IN THE UNITED STATES
