When we look at the most trustworthy list of global citizens, doctors (64%) emerged at the top on the Global Trustworthiness Index 2021, followed by scientists (61%) and teachers (55%).
“The armed forces are trusted and revered by Indians as their whole aura and work is around sacrifice and service before self; defined by discipline and dedication in their contribution to the nation as they protect our frontiers. Likewise, scientists too have been corona warriors, working overtime to find appropriate vaccines to offset the resilient coronavirus; their contribution is being silently hailed, by Indians, putting scientists at par with armed forces. Teachers and doctors, who too stepped up during the pandemic are placed 3rd and 4th in the trustworthiness index,” says Amit Adarkar, CEO, Ipsos India.
Ipsos unveiled findings of its Global Trustworthiness Index 2021, a 28-country survey among 19,570 respondents, globally today.
Most untrustworthy professions?
Sheer coincidence or long ingrained perceptions. The India list on the Untrustworthiness Index 2021 mirrors the global list on Untrustworthiness Index 2021. All the stories they weave are not so make believe for the average person – politicians, govt ministers and advertising executives are least trusted.
