The Economic System – Widespread support for major changes

In most of the countries we surveyed, there is widespread support for changing the economic system. In fact, in all but three nations, majorities say the economic system in their country needs major changes or complete reform.

• Across all 36 countries, a median of 20% of adults say their economic system needs to be completely reformed, while a median of 52% call for major changes. Much smaller median shares say their economic system needs minor changes (16%) or no changes at all (3%).
• Significant shares in some middle-income countries support complete economic reform.
• Majorities in Nigeria and Tunisia say this is necessary, and roughly four-in-ten or more agree in Ghana, India, Malaysia, South Africa and Turkey.
• Only in the Netherlands, Singapore and Sweden – all high-income countries – do fewer than half of adults want significant economic changes.
