    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

        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.

          Yup, check this parent comment for the source you’re asking for

      If that 10k is representative, that should give a very small uncertainty interval, less than 1%. You can get 95% confidence interval with only a few hundred samples depending on the standard deviation, so 10k is actually massive. It’s pretty standard statistics, here’s more info on how it’s calculated.

        I know jack shit about statics, or this study, but 10K participants seems more than solid if it’s proper science.

      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.

        Ah didn’t see the breakdown. Incredibly leading questions and highly charges but seems legit

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