Sources

Verification note. Global average read from slide 35; country figures read from the slide 36 grid. The country ordering was validated against the 2024 report's published 'change since 2021' column, which reproduces each of these 2021 values exactly for Canada, Australia, Great Britain, the United States, Spain, the Netherlands and Argentina. This wave did not carry the five-item transgender agree/disagree battery introduced in 2023; only the trans-athlete item is trans-specific.
