World Values Survey
The World Values Survey provides in-depth information about the cohesiveness of different country-level communities. Denmark tops the table; 66% of Danes say that people can be trusted. The majority of European countries show a dramatic increase in the level of trust between 1981 and 1999, with the exception of the UK, where the percentage has fallen from 42.5% to 28.5% in the same time. The level of trust has also dropped in the US, from 39.2% in 1982 to 35.5% in 1999.
