The Mediana Institute for Market and Media Research conducted a survey on over 1,500 people in three countries to determine what citizens of Slovenia, Serbia and Croatia expect in the future after the coronavirus epidemic.
The results, according to 24ur.com, revealed significant differences in expectations between countries, as well as between projected changes at the local and global levels in general.
After the end of the epidemic, Slovenians expect an increase in e-commerce (55 percent of them, greater importance of public health (50%) and the country’s focus on self-sufficiency (48%) .More than a third of them think they are more likely to pay more attention to vulnerable groups (36%) and that employers will encourage greater engagement on the web (35%), in contrast, the population of Slovenia expects a reduction in international trade to a lesser extent and does not expect to switch to alternative methods of industrial production (both 26%).
In the Land, respondents think that changes at the global level are more likely than not at the local level. The biggest gap is in the probability of creating new occupations (locally 34% probable + very probable, globally 49%), transition to alternative production methods (locally 26%, globally 34%) and growth of network trade (locally 55%, globally 66%).
Unlike the population of Slovenia, respondents in Serbia are less likely to predict an increase in e-commerce (42%), and to a lesser extent both countries agree that public health will gain in importance, that countries will focus on self-sufficiency, pay more attention to vulnerable groups and that employers will promote work on the web.
– We see a particularly large difference between predicting the probability of change between the population of Slovenia and the population of Croatia and Serbia in claims that their countries will focus on self-sufficiency (Croatia – 22% and Serbia – 23% compared to Slovenia), distance (Croatia and Serbia – 11%) and the probability of switching to online education (Croatia – 15% and Serbia – 11%) – reports 24ur.com.
