This is the Inglehart-Welzel map based on the World Values Survey. Up front, note that much of this data comes from the mid-1990s. Still, it’s an impressive overview and various positions on this map correlate with other attitudes. Where the Caucasus is, the endorsement of divorce, single child families, respect for authority and post-materialist values are far away. Disaggregated and in response to direct questions, Armenia is least happy, Georgia in between and Azerbaijan happiest.
All these details are well documented on the exemplary website (see above), which also contains more material that may be interesting to explore.
How has the Caucasus changed? We integrated some key questions from the World Values Survey questionnaire into this year’s Data Initiative, so stay posted for updates on recent changes. (Moreover, some other surveys have been using similar questions, but we don’t yet have the data sets.)
