12 Views of the Economy in the Americas Have Improved
13 Views of the national economy were more optimistic in 2012 than in any previous round Perception of National Economic Situation Year 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effect Based) SOCT1. How would you describe the country s economic situation? [figure shows mean values on a scale where 0=very bad and 100=very good] Note: See LAPOP s comparative and country reports for country-bycountry analyses *Trend in 10 countries in 2004
14 Uruguay Ecuador Guyana Canada Brazil Panama Chile Argentina Venezuela Peru Suriname Trinidad & Tobago Nicaragua Bolivia Paraguay Colombia Honduras Belize Costa Rica Guatemala Mexico Jamaica Haiti United States El Salvador Dom. Rep Perception of National Economic Situation 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effects Based) But, views vary across countries. Respondents tend to see the national economy more positively in South America than in Mexico, Central America and the Caribbean. [Numbers are mean values on scale] SOCT1. How would you describe the country s economic situation? Would you say that it is very good, good, neither good nor bad, bad or very bad?
15 Wealth inequality is steadily declining: based on LAPOP s Gini coefficient of household wealth Gini Coefficient Measure based on questions about household ownership: TV, Refrigerator, landline, cellphone, vehicle, washing machine, microwave, motorcycle, indoor plumbing, indoor bathroom, computer
16 Trinidad & Tobago** Suriname** Belize* Guyana Argentina* Ecuador Costa Rica Household wealth inequality has decreased in almost all countries Jamaica Brazil Mexico Honduras (only three countries have increased inequality) Venezuela Peru Uruguay Colombia Nicaragua Chile Dominican Republic Guatemala El Salvador Panama Paraguay Bolivia Index based on household ownership of the following items: TV, Refrigerator, landline, cellphone, vehicle, washing machine, microwave, motorcycle, indoor plumbing, indoor bathroom, computer Haiti * , **
17 The plurality of citizens of the Americas perceive themselves as belonging to the middle class MOV1. Would you describe yourself as belonging to the upper class, upper middle class, middle class, lower middle class, or lower class? % 29.2% % 5.4% 2.3% 0 Lower class Lower-middle class Middle class Upper-middle class Upper class, 2012
18 Optimism about the economy is positively related to social class self-identification Perception of Personal Economic Situation (0-100 scale) Those belonging to the middle and uppermiddle classes have more positive assessments of their economic situations. 0 Lower class Lower-middle class Middle class Upper-middle class 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effect Based)
19 Despite Positive Economic Trends: Economic Inequalities Persist, Underwritten by Discriminatory Attitudes
20 Those with Darker Skin Tones are Less Wealthy Significant differences in levels of wealth are found in 21 of 24 countries (no significant difference in Chile, Guyana, and Panama) Quintiles of Wealth Lightest Darkest Skin Tone
21 Those with Darker Skin Tones have Lower Levels of Education Significant differences in levels of wealth are found in 21 of 24 countries (no significant difference in Chile, Guyana, and Belize) Years of Education Lightest Darkest Skin Tone
22 On average, in the Americas, women have lower incomes Personal Income Men Woman Women 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effect Based)
23 On average, in the Americas, women and those with darker skin tones have lower personal incomes 8.5 Men 8 Personal Income Women Lightest Darkest Skin Tone
24 Machista attitudes continue to give priority to men in the labor market. On average across the Americas, approximately 1 out of 3 individuals favor prioritizing men in the workplace. Figure shows percentage of respondents who agree with the following: GEN1. Some say that when there is not enough work, men should have a greater right to jobs than women. To what extent do you agree or disagree? Dom. Rep. Guyana Paraguay Nicaragua Haiti Belize Chile El Salvador Ecuador Venezuela Suriname Colombia Costa Rica Bolivia Panama Mexico Argentina Jamaica Honduras Guatemala Peru Trinidad & Tobago Brazil Uruguay United States Canada 12.9% 12.6% 17.5% 22.4% 21.4% 27.1% 26.7% 24.9% 29.7% 29.6% 29.5% 29.0% 28.0% 27.6% 33.3% 31.9% 31.6% 31.4% 30.5% 36.6% 40.2% 39.0% 35.7% 40.4% 49.4% 52.8% Men Should Have Priority for Jobs 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effects Based)
25 Machista attitudes continue to cede political leadership roles to men. [Numbers are mean values on scale] VB50. Some say that in general, men are better political leaders than women. Do you strongly agree, agree, disagree or strongly disagree? Guyana Dom. Rep. Haiti Trinidad & Tobago Jamaica Bolivia Venezuela Belize Honduras Paraguay El Salvador Chile Nicaragua Argentina Canada Peru Suriname Mexico Ecuador Panama Guatemala Colombia Costa Rica United States Brazil Uruguay Men Are Better Political Leaders 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effects Based)
26 Discriminatory attitudes also persist with respect to support for political leadership by those with darker skin tone. [Numbers are mean values on scale] VB53. Some say that in general, people with dark skin are not good political leaders. Do you strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree? Chile Bolivia Honduras Guatemala Belize Peru Venezuela Ecuador El Salvador Nicaragua Colombia Paraguay Dom. Rep. Mexico Haiti Suriname Panama Argentina Costa Rica Jamaica Brazil Trinidad & Tobago Uruguay People with Dark Skin Do Not Make Good Leaders 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effects Based)
27 However, we find strong support for policies that remove barriers to inequalities. For example, strikingly high levels of support for gender quotas in most countries. [Numbers are mean values on scale] GEN6. The state ought to require that political parties reserve some space on their lists of candidates for women, even if they have to exclude some men. How much do you agree or disagree? El Salvador Dom. Rep. Paraguay Uruguay Nicaragua Colombia Chile Argentina Guyana Ecuador Costa Rica Bolivia Mexico Belize Suriname Panama Honduras Peru Venezuela Guatemala Jamaica Haiti Brazil Canada Trinidad & Tobago Support for Gender Quotas 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effects Based)
28 Paraguay 69.7 Honduras 62.7 Argentina Panama Nicaragua Chile And, many respondents express support for racebased affirmative action. Uruguay 57.1 Dominican Rep [Numbers are mean values on scale] Bolivia 52.1 Ecuador 51.9 Colombia 51.5 Guatemala 51.3 Venezuela 50.2 Costa Rica 49.4 Mexico 49.3 Peru Brazil Belize El Salvador Suriname Trinidad & Tobago Canada RAC2A. Universities ought to set aside openings for students [with darker skin/who are racial or ethnic minorities], even if that means excluding other students. How much do you agree or disagree? United States Support for Affirmative Action 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effects Based)
29 And, time-series evidence points to increased political tolerance: support for the rights of gay individuals increased D5. And now, changing the topic and thinking of homosexuals, how strongly do you approve or disapprove of such people being permitted to run for public office? 10 [Graph shows mean values on scale; trend is comparable if only original 2004 countries are included] % Confidence Interval (Design effects based)

32 Corruption Remains a Vexing Problem: Break-through LAPOP Research* finds Presidents Lack Incentives to Fight Corruption when Economic Performance is Good *Zechmeister & Zizumbo-Colunga The Varying Political Toll of Corruption in Good versus Bad Economic Times. Comparative Political Studies.
33 The percentage of victims of corruption in 2012 is lower than in 2004 and 2006, but does not show a significant, sustained downward trend Victimization by Corruption Measure of Corruption Victimization: In the last twelve months, have you been asked to pay a bribe to a) a police officer; b) a government employee; c) municipal government; d) work; e) courts; f) hospital/clinic; and/or g) school Year 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effect Based) [EXC2, EXC6, EXC11, EXC13, EXC14, EXC15, & EXC16] *Trend in 10 countries in 2004
34 Trends in Reducing Corruption Victimization Vary by Countries Progress Setbacks El Salvador Honduras Ecuador % % % % % % % % % % % % % % % Jamaica Bolivia Haití % % % % % % % 34.0% % 34.6% 36.2% % 50.0% Victimization by Corruption 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effects Based) Victimization by Corruption 95% Confidence Interval (Design-Effects Based)
35 New LAPOP Research* shows that Executives are Not Held Accountable for Corruption When Economic Performance is Good In good economic regions, executive approval is not affected by corruption. Where there is substantial income loss, corruption decreases approval of the president Conversely, in bad performing regions, corruption lowers presidential approval. Where incomes remain good, corruption has no effect on approval of the president *Result based on research forthcoming in a leading field journal: Comparative Political Studies
