A special Roy Morgan telephone survey has found that in mid-2017, 31% of Australians regard Terrorism & War as the biggest problems facing the World. This has nearly doubled since March, up by 15%, while also up 8% from a year ago. Although Terrorism & War is the dominant World problem in mid-2017, other major themes to emerge on a global level were Environmental issues led by Climate change and Global warming, which was mentioned by 21% of respondents, and Economic issues (mentioned by 18% of respondents). Analysing the question by Age and Gender shows that Women (33%) are more concerned about Terrorism & War than Men (29%), while older age groups are clearly more concerned about these issues than younger Australians. Australians aged 65+ are the most concerned about Terrorism & War – over 48% mentioned the issues as the biggest problem facing the World, far higher than any other age group.
