The 2005 Global Corruption Barometer, based on a Gallup International survey conducted on behalf of Transparency International for International Anti-Corruption Day 2005, reveals widespread concern about corruption around the globe.
The Barometer indicates that corruption’s impact on personal and family life is most dramatic on poor households. In addition, citizens in low-income countries tend to pay a significantly larger percentage of their income in bribes than in higher-income countries.
Close to 55,000 people in 69 countries were polled as part of the Gallup International Voice of the People 2005 survey, between May and October 2005, to assess their views on corruption.
