How to read these numbers

Three things to keep in mind when you use or quote figures from this page.

Weighted to the population

Each respondent carries a weight in Weight_Ind: the number of adults in the country they stand for. Percentages and population counts add up these weights, not the number of interviews.

Sample size still matters

The n beside a figure is the number of people interviewed. Groups with fewer than 50 respondents are faded and marked, because their estimates are less reliable.

Strands versus usage

A strand puts each adult in one place on a ladder, from most formal to excluded, so it adds up to 100%. Usage shows every product a person uses, so it can add up to more than 100%.
