Majority of citizens do not believe in people's solidarity, saying people primarily care about themselves, shows survey "Macedonian Social Values" of the Macedonian Center for International Cooperation (MCIC).
According to the MCIC survey, implemented by agency "Rejting" at a representative sample of 1,066 respondents, the immediate family comes to the forefront and 79.1 percent are very concerned about it, and if one takes into account those who are concerned to a certain extent, this percentage increases to 95.1. The family concern drops as the level of education and social status increases.
Over 70 percent of citizens are very concerned about children from poor families, about 66 percent for sick people and individuals with handicap, whereas 60 percent voiced their concerns for the unemployed.
Citizens consider equality more important (52.1%) compared to individual freedoms (41.5%). Majority of citizens (62.1%) prefer lesser differences in salaries, so that everyone has more or less equal income.
"Further research and debate is required in order to determine the reasons for this position - nostalgia for the past, reaction to the increased social insecurity or a too wide social gap in our society", reads the MCIC survey.
