The people of the United States are the most generous in the world, followed by those in Myanmar and New Zealand, according to a new 10-year study of data from 128 countries.
However, the report showed a recent downward trend in donations from the United States, Canada, and Britain. The report cited the 2017 tax law as one possible reason for the decline in the share of people in the United States who give money.
The least generous countries were China, Greece, and Yemen.
The latest World Giving Index report, produced by the Charities Aid Foundation, marks the 10th year of the report. Instead of presenting annual data as usual, the new report presents aggregate numbers for 2009 to 2018. The research was conducted by Gallup, which surveyed individuals in each country.
