Nice post by Christine Huang for @OECD - When asked what makes life meaningful, many in advanced economies point to family https://t.co/thcGAMUZG9 #OECDforum

As #WARINUKRAINE intensifies, barriers to #freespeech in #russia seem all the more costly. A 34-nation @pewresearch poll in 2019 found only 45% of Russians considered free speech very important vs. 59% in Ukraine and 74% across Europe. Would all those numbers be higher today?

The #WinterOlympics2022 conclude this coming weekend. Have they boosted mainland #China’s international image? It’s difficult to say, yet. Heading into the Games, favorable public attitudes toward China were at, or near, all-time lows in many countries.

Ball of Confusion: New @pewresearch survey finds 60% of U.S. adults have felt confused by changing public health guidance on #COVID19; confidence in officials at all levels has declined https://t.co/beyJ4I9GsU.

Latest from @pewresearch: As President #Biden begins his 2nd year in office, it's not just one area where is he struggling -- including among #Democrats. https://t.co/UBMi2iCgBh

Sad news. Joan Didion's writing always inspired me to observe the world more carefully and report on it more deeply. https://t.co/FhWaWYRfnA

Analysis by @pewresearch reveals connection between dissatisfaction with democracy and economic performance. Question: can efforts like the #summitfordemocracy help strengthen democracy-prosperity nexus in face of practical, and rhetorical, competition from capitals like Beijing?

[James "Jeb" Bell @james_e_bell]

#summitfordemocracy kicks off now. @pewresearch surveys in the #usa and abroad indicate the summit arrives at a moment when not just gov't leaders, but citizens are concerned about the state of democracy. See our findings here (https://t.co/yt6TCaPJbN).

New chapter in #USA-#Germany relations? Germans are newly enthused about bilateral ties; could this be a moment for improved transatlantic cooperation? Tune into #berlinforum and check out #berlinpulse https://t.co/mI1HmX3wI8 and new @pewresearch survey https://t.co/giyr9adDPC

Looking forward to joining colleagues at @KoerberIP as they host this year's #berlinforum and we report our cross-national survey results: U.S.-German Relations on the Mend as New Leadership Takes Hold https://t.co/giyr9adDPC

As the @UN meets to debate action on #climatechange, will the international community prove skeptical citizens wrong about #multilateral cooperation to reduce #globalwarming? Skepticism is significant in many countries, according to a new @pewresearch poll.

[James "Jeb" Bell @james_e_bell]

At a time when the #eu, #biden administration and others tout the benefits of a #greeneconomy, a new @pewresearch international survey on attitudes toward #climatechange https://t.co/kwqOyp8pqo reveals that in many advanced economies this narrative has yet to carry the day.

[James "Jeb" Bell @james_e_bell]

Here's the topline findings from the brand new @pewresearch international survey (https://t.co/kwqOyoQOyQ) on public attitudes toward #climatechange in 17 higher-income economies:

.@pewresearch: #Biden may be seen as more upstanding, more competent than #Trump, but Trump voters are very much FOR their candidate; Biden can't say the same, although the desire to vote Trump out may also get people to the polls https://t.co/8BqkprL9I0

.@pewresearch: Many #Black, #Asian Americans have experienced discrimination since #coronavirus outbreak https://t.co/zfMLkPbQHh. 31% of Asian Americans say they have been subject to slurs or jokes; 26% of Asian Americans and 20% of Black Americans have feared physical attack.

Effectiveness of boycotts can be debated, but at very least Lego signing onto #StopHateForProfit points out global scale of paid advertising boycott. Read https://t.co/oJ6elwlvny to see how corporate leaders are framing boycott as rethink of #socialmedia in general, not just FB.

@CFieschi I think the IMF's gloomy global economic forecast speaks volumes to the scale of economic disruption due to the coronavirus. Your examples suggest we're not out of crisis and onto recovery, yet. If some see a "v" recovery, it may be lower-cased for a while.
