have an estimated margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points for

a sample of 1,000 and an estimated margin of error of +/- 4.5

percentage points for a 500 sample 19 times out of 20.

For the results of the survey presented herein, an

international sample of 19,505 adults aged 18-74 in the US,

South Africa, Turkey, Israel and Canada, and age 16-74 in all

other countries, were interviewed between March 20th 2020

and April 3rd 2020. Approximately 1000+ individuals

participated on a country by country basis via the Ipsos

Online Panel.

In 17 of the 28 countries surveyed internet penetration is

sufficiently high to think of the samples as representative of the

wider population within the age ranges covered: Argentina,

Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Hungary, Israel, Italy,

Japan, Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Great

Britain and United States.

The precision of Ipsos online polls are calculated using a

credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3.1

percentage points and of 500 accurate to +/- 4.5 percentage

points. For more information on the Ipsos use of credibility

intervals, please visit the Ipsos website.

Weighting has been employed to balance demographics and

ensure that the sample’s composition reflects that of the

adult population according to the most recent country census

data.

Brazil, Chile, China, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Russia, Peru, Saudi

Arabia, South Africa and Turkey have lower levels of internet

penetration and so these samples should not be considered

nationally representative, and instead be considered to represent

a more affluent, connected population. These are still a vital social

group to understand in these countries, representing an important

and emerging middle class.
