World Giving Index

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Map of the 2010 World Giving Index. The larger the circle, the higher their rank in the WGI.
The World Giving Index (WGI) was compiled by the Charities Aid Foundation, using data gathered by Gallup, and ranks 153 countries in the World according to how charitable their populations are. The Charities Aid Foundation claims that WGI is the largest study ever carried out into charitable behaviour across the globe.[1]The first edition was released in September 2010 with New ZealandAustralia and Ireland emerging as the three most charitable nations. The survey found that across the globe happiness was seen as a greater influence on giving money than wealth.

Methodology[edit]

The WGI is based on data from Gallup's WorldView World Poll which is an ongoing research project carried out in 153 countries that together represent 95% of the world's population. In most countries surveyed 1,000 questionnaires are completed by a representative sample of individuals living in urban centres. In some large countries such as China and Russia samples of at least 2,000 were collected, while in a small number of countries, where polling is difficult, the poll covered 500 to 1,000 people but still featured a representative sample.
Respondents were over 15 years old and samples were probability-based. Surveys were carried out by telephone or face-to-face depending on the country’s telephone coverage. The Charities Aid Foundation (CAF) worked with data downloaded in March 2010.
Gallup asked people which of the following three charitable acts they had undertaken in the past month:
  • donated money to an organisation?
  • volunteered time to an organisation?
  • helped a stranger, or someone they didn’t know who needed help?
Giving money or time to an organisation could include political parties/organisations as well as registered charities, community organisations, and places of worship.
In addition to this, the survey used GDP data from the International Monetary Fund's Outlook Programme and an additional Gallup WorldView World Poll question on happiness.[2]

Response to the results (2010)[edit]

The Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa hailed the results of the Index where Sri Lanka came in 8th. President Rajapaksa said it captured, "the reality of our caring and sharing society".[3]
The President of TaiwanMa Ying-jeou described the results as "unfair" and stated that Taiwan had transformed itself from an "importer of love to an exporter of love".[4]
Australian Parliamentary Secretary for Social Inclusion and the Voluntary Sector and Senator for New South WalesDr Ursula Stephens said, "I see each day the enormous efforts of our country’s five million volunteers and witness the generosity of the millions of Australians whose donations make the work of our non profit organisations possible. So this result on the World Giving Index is confirmation of what we already know – we are a country of generous people who are quick to lend a helping hand in times of need."[5]
The Community and Voluntary Sector Minister in New ZealandTariana Turia said, "The report shows that New Zealanders are particularly generous when it comes to giving money and helping strangers, but also in terms of volunteering. As a nation we must celebrate our generosity and make sure that our decisions and our actions bolster it even further."[6]
