Summary of Ipsos Equalities Index 2023

The Ipsos Equalities Index 2023 is an inaugural global survey examining attitudes toward equality, building on previous Ipsos studies like "What Worries The World" and "International Women’s Day." Conducted across 33 countries with 26,259 participants aged 16-74, it explores beliefs in meritocracy, definitions of fairness, perceptions of inequality's importance, and views on discrimination and responsibility for mitigating inequality.

Key Findings

• Meritocracy and Fairness: Younger generations (Gen Z, Millennials) are less likely to believe success depends on individual merit compared to older generations like Baby Boomers. Globally, Gen Z shows less agreement with a merit-based society and more support for "equity," where everyone enjoys equal quality of life.
• Seriousness of Inequality: Perceptions of inequality vary by age and education; younger and more educated individuals often view it as a serious issue, while some wealthier nations like those in the Anglosphere express higher skepticism.
• Discrimination Perception: Women report higher sensitivity to discrimination against women, LGBT+ people, neurodivergent individuals, and those with mental or physical disabilities. Men show less concern, but both genders are equitable in views toward ethnic minorities, immigrants, and other groups. Country-specific context, such as colonial history or ethnic diversity, influences responses; Latin American and African countries report higher concern, while ethnically homogenous nations like Japan show less agreement.
• Responsibility for Inequality: Governments are consistently viewed as the primary responsibility for addressing inequality, with only India and the US showing non-majority agreement. Other responsibilities include employers, individuals, advocacy groups, and media, with variation by country.
• Generational Differences: Younger adults are more sensitive to inequality and discrimination but may attribute differences in attitudes to cohort effects. For example, Gen Z is more likely to believe young people are discriminated against.

Methodology

The survey used Ipsos's Global Advisor platform, with country-specific variations in sample sizes (e.g., 1,000+ in many countries, 500 in others). India involved mixed methods. Data weighting aligns with census demographics, and results reflect the general adult population or a connected segment, depending on region. The total sample size was 26,259 adults, analyzed to track global trends for future reports.
