Every month, Ipsos conducts a survey to find out what the world is worrying about. The infographic below shows that in November, worries about terrorism were most prevalent in Turkey where 66 per cent of respondents selected it as one of three ‘most worrying topics’. Turkey has been hit by a series of devastating terror attacks in 2016.


In Germany, police are currently investigating a ‘suspected terrorist attack’ in the country’s capital, Berlin. On the evening of December 19, a lorry was driven into a Christmas market killing twelve people and injuring 48. As is the case for a number of European countries, terrorism has been among the main worries of German citizens this year. In November, 34 per cent listed it as one of their top concerns.
