Numbers, Facts and Trends Shaping Your World
From Millennials in the workforce to religion in America, our most popular posts told important stories about trends shaping our world.
From trust in government to views of climate change, here are some of Pew Research Center’s most memorable findings of the year.
Only about half of Millennials say they believe in God with absolute certainty, and four-in-ten say religion is very important in their lives.
Our new report finds that whether U.S. adults are becoming more or less religious depends, in part, on how religious observance is measured.
The roughly 47% of the population today who were born under the one-child policy lived through a very different China than those born before.
Social Security has developed into one of the most popular federal programs, though that popularity is tempered by concern over its long-term financial outlook.
The 35% of Millennials who do not identify with a religion is double the share of unaffiliated Baby Boomers (17%) and more than three times the share of members of the Silent generation (11%).
In recent years, the share of Americans who identify with mainline Protestantism has been shrinking significantly, a trend driven partly by generational change.
The growth of the religiously unaffiliated in the U.S. is occurring across genders, generations and racial and ethnic groups.
A new survey on religious trends among U.S. Hispanics finds that Hispanic Millennials mirror young American adults overall in their lower rates of religious affiliation and commitment compared with their older counterparts.
