A recent worldwide survey has shown that among the 17 issues, Indians were worried about these two the most.

However, Indians are third among the nations that think that their country is heading in the right direction. 67 percent of the Indians surveyed have said that they feel the country is going in an accurate way. India followed China (92 percent) and Saudi Arabia (78 percent) in the list of the nations showing self-assurance in the direction of their country.

The recent survey titled "What Worries the World," by global market research and consulting firm Ipsos MORI, says that topmost four concerns in the world are financial/political corruption (34 percent), unemployment (33 percent), social/poverty inequality (33 percent) and violence/crime (31 percent).

Respondents were asked the question "Which three of the following topics do you find the most worrying in your country?" Other than the above-mentioned subjects, they had to pick out among other issues like inflation, healthcare, climate change, terrorism, and so on.

The global poll said that 44 percent of the Indians surveyed have admitted that corruption was their biggest worry in India. The same percentage of people marked unemployment as their biggest worry.

After these two top issues, came crime/violence (33 percent), poverty/social inequality (31 percent) and terrorism (21 percent).

Of the countries surveyed, the biggest issue that was bothering people was corruption, with a total 34 percent of the respondents marking it as their top worry. It was followed by unemployment and poverty/social inequality (33 percent each). Crime and violence worried total 31 percent of the global respondents.
