In Depth: A View of the People
By meatlickercitizen9

PINGYANG – Is diversity on the rise? Who is the true threat to the Qing's stability? Are you paid enough? Has gender equality increased? Does religion play a more or less important role in life? And are family ties stronger or weaker than they used to be?

I posed these questions to over 400,000 people in all 1st level subdivisions across the country. This is what I found.

The Qing's Likes and Dislikes

Around the country, people are divided in their opinions of different countries on the globe. Attitudes are ranked in descending order, with the most favourably viewed to the least favourably viewed.

* Note: the 'Favour' and 'Oppose' percentages may not add up to 100%. That's because there are people who pick "no opinion" or "neutral" when it comes to rating countries. Likewise, the 'Oppose' percentages are not ranked in descending order.

Diversity

The results of this analysis reveal people are strongly in favour of increased gender equality but share more tepid enthusiasm for increased ethnic, religious and racial diversity. And despite secularization trends, most across the 400,000 surveyed do not oppose a more important role for religion in their society.

In addition, a substantial chunk of the population surveyed says that family ties are weakening, and in almost all respondents say that this is a bad thing. Commonly attributed causes to weakened family ties include more strenuous work schedules, high expectations on children, and the previous generation "losing touch" with the next one.

Across the country, there is strong consensus that diversity has increased in their countries. There are divides, however, within the country due to its variety of demographic and political groups. In most cases, people who are more in favor of diversity tend to be younger, have tertiary education, and place themselves on the left end of the political spectrum.

In the Qing, a nation with 600,000 expats, attitudes are mixed on foreigners entering the Qing. Some say that they make the country stronger because of their work and talents, while others say that these people are a burden because they take jobs and social benefits.

Attitudes are mixed on immigrants’ willingness to adopt the destination country’s customs or wanting to be distinct from its society. A median of 49% among countries surveyed say immigrants want to be distinct from the host country’s society, while a median of 45% say immigrants want to adopt the host country’s customs and way of life.

However, it is worthy to note that many are in favour of the Qing extending a more generous asylum programme for political refugees.

A majority of the public says immigrants want to adopt the country’s customs and way of life. The country, whose low population growth rate has to make immigration relevant for its population growth. They cite the growing footprint of the Qing languages, as well as more cultural exchange programmes abroad, as a sign that more people are taking an interest into the Qing's customs and way of life, and that such actions can be reflected onto the immigrant population.

However, similar to populations in other economically advanced countries with a high number and share of immigrants, a majority of Qing citizens support encouraging the immigration of high-skilled people into the country. These people were also asked to determine which types of people were considered to be "high-skilled people", to which a majority of respondents assented to influx for doctors (77.8%), engineers (72.5%), entrepreneurs (70.2%), artists (66.1%), scientists (66.0%), and researchers (59.6%).

In recent years, security concerns about immigration have become part of the public debate in many countries. Some of these concerns are about crime and immigration, while others are about terrorism and immigration. In several immigrant destination cities, large majorities say immigrants are associated with more crime, even though the stereotype may not hold true 100% of the time.

Of course, nothing is perfect.

A majority of locals continue to say they see the effects of climate change in their own communities and believe that the federal government falls short in its efforts to reduce the impacts of climate change. At a time when partisanship dictates most views of policy, broad majorities of the public say they would favour a range of initiatives to reduce the impacts of climate change, including large-scale afforestation efforts, renewable energy use, 'smart' grids, tax credits for businesses that capture carbon emissions, and tougher fuel efficiency standards for vehicles.

Public concern over climate change has been growing in recent years, particularly among the youth, and there are no signs that the 2nd Nian Rebellion has dampened concern levels. The new national survey finds a majority of respondents want the government to play a larger role in addressing climate change. Public dissatisfaction with government environmental action is not limited solely to climate: a substantial chunk of the populace also continue to say the government is doing too little in other areas, such as protecting air and water quality and wildlife.

Amid record unemployment claims and the disruption of commercial activity caused by the conflicty, the public’s assessments of the Qing economy have deteriorated with extraordinary speed and severity. Some have commented on the need of institutional reform to combat joblessness, while others have said that the massive projects the Board of Works had binged on can set the Qing back on the right path.
