The level of trust citizens place in their national government can provide a strong impetus for economic development and higher compliance with regulations and the tax system.
The lower the level, the more difficult it becomes for governments to address issues and provide solutions. The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) has released its latest findings of the level of government trust in selected countries, with the results providing some real surprises.
The OECD consists of 35 member countries who cooperate on ways to further economic development worldwide. The organization traces its roots to 1948 and the Organization for European Economic Cooperation that was created to help institute the Marshall Plan to rebuild Europe in the aftermath of World War II.
Its latest survey of citizen trust in the governments of 15 member countries was conducted in 2016 and recently released. On the next page, you’ll learn which countries rank in the upper echelon and how more than one-third have the trust of less than one-third of their people. Try to guess where the USA winds up.
This is not fact based. Where’s China, the most populated country on the planet. Hummm? What socio-economic group did you poll? Just “taking uo space” journalism. That’s about it.
so do they trust their government or just making sure they don’t disappear?
Well duh the republicans are in control and the chief is a embarrassing child
You actually believe a their is a difference between the two parties??? And I’d take Trump any day over any establishment$#%&!@* You should do some waking up!
The primary reason why the U.S. scores so low is due to the elected politicians in this country are a collective POS!!!
Wait, wait ….. 55% of Germans trust their government? WHAT? After what Merkel has done to them? Flooded their country with thieves and rapists, driven many to arm themselves and they still trust their government???? And if the French have such little trust in their government, then why on earth did they elect Micron??? Something isn’t right with these numbers.
That would be because the only news you listen to promote what they want you to hear
our country was founded on don’t trust the govt
As soon as Trump removes all of Obama’s socialist rejects our ranking will go up. These idiots have no understanding of national security.
lol…anyone else notice North Korea isn’t on the list. I bet it would be 100% trust.
