Ben Page opens this month’s edition of Ipsos Update with his reflections on a global environment of continued uncertainty. Between heatwaves and the continuing rise of inflation – a dark cloud overshadowing many of this month’s articles – consumer anxiety is evident.
We also focus on creativity in advertising and learn how behavioural science can lead to more successful product testing, alongside new global surveys exploring the public’s views on the most trustworthy professions and the legal status of abortion.
In 5 infographics, we look at what Ipsos’ recent global polling reveals about how worried consumers are about rising prices, their country’s economy and if they expect relief anytime soon.
New Ipsos polling finds almost 1 in 3 employees, on average, across 28 countries would seek a wage bump, or more money elsewhere, if red-hot prices don’t cool off soon.
In five infographics, we break down what Ipsos’ global polling reveals about citizens’ views on the ‘climate emergency’, who is responsible and actions to take now.

With recent record-high temperatures in Europe in mind, Ben Page introduces this month’s edition with reflections on whether the more urgent threat of inflation threatens to overshadow the global public’s concern about climate change. We explore this in more detail with articles on perceptions of inflation in the MENA region, and deep dives into concern about climate change in Switzerland and support for net zero policies in the UK. We also look at the perception of traditional and non-traditional media across the EU and how technology will influence the future of music.
