Abstract
This research report explores the perceived impact of current global crises—including the aftermath of COVID-19, the war in Ukraine, energy crisis, and inflation—on citizens aged 18 to 75 in Finland (n=1000), Sweden (n=1000), and the UK (n=1000). With data from June 2023, the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent global crises are delved into from various aspects, such as respondents' perspectives on the effects of these crises on wellbeing, finances, consumption, and online behaviours. Comparative analyses highlight differences between countries, with particular attention to demographic disparities within Finland. Findings include heightened war-related concerns, enduring economic anxieties, shifting consumption habits and diverse patterns of online behaviour. These insights contribute to understanding societal responses and resilience amidst adversity in the early 2020's.
