From Frequency58, a survey was conducted to assess the public trend regarding the level of trust the population has in transnational companies. The question selected was: How much confidence do you have in this person or institution in their work for the welfare of Venezuela? The answers were measured in the following categories: very confident, some confidence, little confidence, no confidence, don’t know and no answer.
In general, respondents show great confidence in these companies with 57%, compared to 35% who do not have confidence in them.
A cross-section of the surveyed population, in terms of the generation to which they belong and their political self-definition, yielded the following results:
From the above graph, we observe that it is the Boomer generation who trusts transnational companies the most with 64.4%; at the same time, they are also the ones who distrust them the least with 28.7%. On the other hand, those who trust these figures the least are the zillennials with 50.4% of those surveyed; at the same time they are the most distrustful, with 39.2%.
In matters of political definition, trust in transnational corporations is high, with those surveyed who do not align themselves with the two traditional blocs being the least trusting with 37.2%. They are, in turn, the most distrustful of these companies with 52.1%. While those who most trust and least distrust are those who define themselves as opponents with 75.2% and 19.6% respectively.
