Trust, voice and participation

that you cannot understand. If you cannot

Editor's Notes

  • #3: Across the 30 OECD countries that were surveyed: 44% of respondents have low or no trust in their national government, outweighing the 39% who express high or moderately high trust. Only 37% believe the government will be fair in balancing the interests of different generations. Only four in ten people (41%) find it likely that the national government would adequately regulate new technologies, such as artificial intelligence and digital applications, and help businesses and citizens use them responsibly. Over half (53%) believe that the political system does not allow people like them to have a say. This means that out of the approximately 600 million adults across the 30 participating OECD countries, nearly 320 million people feel that they lack political agency. A renewed commitment to meaningful and inclusive citizen participation in policy making will be central to building trust and resilient democracies.
  • #5: The OECD Trust Survey shows that having a say is intrinsically linked to trust: 69% of those who feel they have a say in government actions trust national government, while only 22% do among those who feel they do not have a say More opportunities for meaningful citizen participation can strengthen people’s self-confidence and ‘participation skills’, as well as their trust in government. Ensuring that citizen participation processes are designed to be inclusive and meet people's higher order needs of belonging, respect and fulfilment is essential.
