Top 10 countries for helping strangers between 2009 and 2018, by share of population
The data is based on data from Gallup’s World View World Poll. Values are averaged across 10 years.
* Underlying calculations in this report are to two decimal places. Therefore, due to rounding, two or more countries sometimes appear to have the same score but different rankings, and sometimes two or more countries are given an equal rank. The latter applies to the helping a stranger score for Malawi and New Zealand, which are ranked equally in 10th place.
