Focus Bari, representing in Greece the international network IRIS (International Research Institutes), participated in an original survey on “Aspirations – Dreams – Expectations” designed and implemented on the initiative of the network in 17 countries at the beginning of 2024.

According to the very interesting findings :
– Only one in ten Greeks say they are happy living the life they would like to live, and the rest feel a great distance between reality and dream!
– The proportion of “happy” citizens varies from country to country, without this necessarily being linked to their living/economic level!
– Nevertheless, the common aspiration of the peoples of all countries is a better everyday life and a higher standard of living.
– As a priority of their governments, all peoples consider that citizen care should be at the first level compared to international influence/position.
– Seven out of ten Greeks feel that as a people we have no common dream, and a strong desire is to feel “proud of their country again”!
– Six out of ten Greeks would like, if they could, to live in another country, preferably Switzerland, the USA, Italy and others.

Climate change is an important issue these days and seems to concern most countries. Almost every country claims that climate change is an important problem for the whole planet rather than for the country or area in which they live.

Apart from electricity, heating petrol and car fuels, Greeks perceive prices of almost all goods and services extremely increased; as a result, they have reduced consumption of goods and services including those covering primary needs, due to insufficient income, or out of insecurity and fear for further increases. These are some of the findings of a new Focus Bari | YouGov national survey conducted in 19-26 September, 2002.
