В одах Венский Институт Сравнительных Социальных Исследований провел изучение жизненных ценностей населения мира в шестой раз. Впервые оно было проведено еще в 1981 году и с тех пор проводится каждые пять лет, охватив за это время около 400 тысяч человек из почти 100 стран мира, составляющих 90% мирового населения. Это делает его самым большим международным исследованием ценностей, взглядов и убеждений людей, которое когда-либо проводилось в мире. Последняя волна исследования включила в себя опрос 80 тысяч человек из 60 стран мира.
В рамках опроса людям было предложено ответить на более чем двести вопросов, касающихся их отношения к разным сторонам жизни - семье, религии, политике и т.д. В первых шести вопросах респонденты выбирали, насколько важна для них каждая из 6 ценностей - семья, друзья, работа, свободное время (отдых), религия и политика – из 4 вариантов – очень важно, достаточно важно, не очень важно и совсем не важно.
Какие ценности более и какие менее важны для жителей определенной страны можно сказать, сравнив ценности по проценту положительных выборов (очень важна + достаточно важна). На основании этого показателя мы составили рейтинг ценностей для каждой из 60 стран и в среднем для мира. Вот наиболее интересные выводы, которые мы получили на основании данного анализа.

Today in the world there is a strong need for the policies that take into account the things that really matter for people, not just GDP per capita, which as a whole could be named happiness or life satisfaction.
