WORLD GIVING INDEX 2014 - DONATING MONEY
Welcome to the 2014 edition of the World Giving Index, which
looks at charitable behaviour across the world, involving 135
countries. The survey looks at people’s giving behaviour, in a
typical month, as defined by three actions: donating
money, volunteering time and helping a
stranger.
In this year’s report, donating money is the
only behaviour that has declined in terms of participation as a
percentage of the global population. Despite this, the absolute
number of people who have given money has increased by 84 million
people due to population growth, resulting in 1.4 billion people
around the world giving money.
- Overall, women are more likely than men to donate money
- However, there are economic differences - only in developed
economies are women more likely to donate money than men, whilst in
transitioning and developing economies the reverse is
true
- The 15 - 29 age group showed the largest decline in
participation
