    Where do they get these stats from ?

    Bullshit statistics.

    10k were interviewed. They extrapolate 10k to the population of Europe. C’mon that’s just mad. Especially with something as complicated as poverty.

    Europe also currently has a war ongoing and has huge areas of incredibly poor and wealthy. Can’t really average that out. Wouldn’t trust anything that comes out of this research institution

      10k is a great number for this kind of extrapolation. The only concern is how varied that population was

        For this kinda thing ? Really ? 10k to extrapolate into the population of what 300 mil ?

        Think that’s pretty wild. For maybe a single question with a few variations but something as complicated and complex as poverty and spending habits.

        Iyf like to see the sources to back up that claim.

      Dug around a little. Seems the 10k were split between 10 different states. Here is an infographic from the source:

      The numbers do seem inflated and don’t add up very well comparatively between the different countries either.

      you’re right! can you calculate the sampling size that would’ve given 95% confidence
