It turns out the answer to this question varies hugely from country to country. In one extreme, in countries such as Norway, the Netherlands, China and Sweden, more than 60% of respondents think that people can be trusted. And in the other extreme, in countries such as Colombia, Brazil, Ecuador and Peru, less than 10% think that this is the case.



The visualisation above shows that the share of people saying that others can be trusted correlates with the level of income of that country.
