Study: 93% of Romanians will be more attentive to their own needs and priorities in 2020
Most Romanians (93%) intend to be more attentive to their own needs and priorities in 2020, while 81% of them expect this year to be better for them compared to the previous one, according to a global study made by Ipsos, which investigates opinions of citizens from 33 states.
According to the source, 4 out of 5 Romanians acknowledge that 2019 was a difficult year for Romania in general, compared to 65% of respondents at global level who think the same about their countries.
At the same time, 93% of Romanians intend to be more attentive to their needs and priorities in 2020 and also to invest in relations to the loved ones. This figure places them on the first 4 places in the world (next to Peru, China and Mexico), a lot over the European average of 65%.
More detached to world economic problems the Romanians maintain a positive tone about predictions for 2020. 64% of people interviewed consider that world economy has a growing trend. At the opposite pole we find more “lucid”cultures, such as the French, Belgians, Swedes or Japanese. The Hungarians and Poles are a little below the average with 48 and 44% respectively, the study shows.
Only a quarter of Romanians fear that in 2020 they will feel lonely most of the time. We thus preserve the foundation of Balkan collective cultures. Individualist cultures have a more skeptical view: Sweden (35%), Poland (34%) and France (31%), the study mentions.
At the same time, about a third of Romanians (63%) expect traffic in the area where they live to become worse. It is a figure that places us in the first half of the top, over the global average (58%) or the European one (54%).
“In conclusion, the five main predictions of the Romanians for 2020 are: the state of world economy will improve, average temperature will go up, Romanians will spend more time online rather than in front of TV, traffic will be more difficult but in the end 2020 will be a better year,” Ipsos representatives say.
