11/1979 Report NOVEMBER 1979 SURVEY Surveyso f ConsumerAttitude s Monitoring Economic Change Program F. Thomas Juster, Director George Katona, Founder Richard T. Curtin, Director Monitoring Economic Change Program Consumer Survey Program Surveys of Consumer Attitudes ADVANCE REPORT December 3, 1979 SHARPLY LOWER BUYING ATTITUDES * In the November 1979 survey, the Index of Consumer Sentiment was 63.3, 1.2 Index points above the 62.1 recorded in October, and 1.2 Index points below the 64.5 recorded in August 1979. Although the Index has remained largely unchanged since mid-1979, the current level of consumer sentiment representsa significant decline from ayea r ago when the Index figure was 75.0. The largest declines recorded in the November survey involved buying attitudes toward homes. *Amon g families with incomes of $15,000 or more, the Index of Consumer Sentiment stood at 57.2 in November, nearly2 Index points below the 59.1 recorded in August 1979, and 10Inde x points below the November 1978 reading (67.7). Among families with incomes of $20,000 and over, the Index value was 68.3 in November 1979, down from 70.0 in August, and 81.0 in November 1978. * The largely unchanged reading in the Index of Consumer Sentiment was due to off­ setting shifts in itssubcomponents . In the November survey, attitudes toward personal financial progress and buying conditions—thecurren t subcomponent—decl ined sharply in comparison to the August quarterlyreading . In contrast, attitudes toward short and long term business prospects improved somewhat in the November survey over the August readings. * Buying attitudes for houses declined sharply in the November 1979 survey. Overall, just 28 percent of all families rated buying conditions as favorable for houses in November, down from 46 percent in August 1979. Unfavorable attitudes grew from 48 per­ cent in August 1979 to 66 percent in November 1979. This same sharp deterioration in favorable house buying attitudes was documented among high income families. When asked why they felt buying conditions for homes were unfavorable, fully 61 percent of all famil­ ies mentioned high interest rates making current buying conditions unfavorable,u pfro m just 27 percent in August 1979. The November 1979 survey indicatestha t consumer sales, especially for houses and cars, will continue on their downward path through the first quarter of 1980. Although the overall level of consumer sentiment has remained largely unchanged since mid-1979, attitudes toward buying conditionshav e weakened considerably due to tight credit conditionsan d high interest rates. In the November 1979 survey, 1,307 interviewswer e obtained between October2 2 and November 25. Institute for Social Research • P.O. Box 1248 • Ann Arbor, Michigan 48106 • (313) 763-5224 -2- In November 1979, 44 percent of all families reported that they were worse off financially than a year ago, up from 31 percent in November 1978; 30 percent reported being better off financially, down from 37 percent in November 1978. This shift in personal financial attitudes was sharper among high-income families. Among families with incomes of $15,000 and over, 34 percent reported being better off financially than a year earlier (down from 45 percent in November 1978), and 42 percent reported being worse off financially (up from 26 percent in November 1978). When asked about their personal financial situation, nearly half (47 percent) of all respondents explained that they were worse off financially because of higher prices, significantly above the 31 per­ cent who gave this reason in November 1978. Importantly, in November 1979 as well as November 1978, about 30 percent of all households reported being better off because of past income increases. In the November 1979 survey, families more frequently expected to be worse off rather than better off financially in a year (24 versus 21 percent). This represents a continuation of the record levels of pessimism regarding expected change in personal finances. Among all families, 25 percent expected in November 1979 that their income would increase by 10% or more during the next 12 months, up from 21 percent in November 1978. Families somewhat more frequently expected income increases of 6-9% in November 1978. Among families with incomes of $15,000 or over, 35 percent expected income increases to be 10% or more during the next year, up from 24 percent in November 1978. Expected changes in real incomes remained quite pessimistic, however, since inflation is expected to continue at its double digit pace. Consumers on average expected prices to increase by 11.2% during the next 12 months in November 1979, up from the 10.4% recorded in August and the 8.9% recorded in November 1978. Overall, almost half (48 percent) of all families now expect prices to increase by 10% or more during the next year. News heard and recalled of recent changes in business conditions was overwhelmingly negative in the November 1979 survey. Fully eight times as many unfavorable as favorable news items were reported in November 1979 (87 versus 11 percent). Two in three respon­ dents (67 percent) rate the current business conditions as worse than a year ago, up from just 42 percent in November 1978. Some improvement in short and long term business expectations was noted in the November 1979 survey. Among all respondents 20 percent reported that they expected good times in the economy as a whole during the next 12 months, up from 17 percent in August 1979, while 68 percent reported expecting bad times financially, down from 71 percent in August 1979. Although this improvement is small and insignificant, it does indicate a slowing of the decline. Interest rates are expected to increase by 62 percent of all families in November 1979. Although the majority still expect interest rates to continue their upward movement, there has been a significant increase in the proportion who expect declines. Prior to the October 6th Federal Reserve Board announcement, expectations for increasing rates were at or near all-time peak levels. Following the announced rise in interest rates, the proportion who expected declines in interest rates during the next year increased to 20 percent in November 1979 from 10 percent in August 1979 among high income families. Favorable market attitudes for large household durable goods were held by 54 percent of all respondents in November 1979, largely unchanged from the 58 percent recorded in August, and 56 percent recorded in November 1978. Unfavorable buying attitudes toward durables, however, have increased substantially: in November 1979, -3- 33 percent of all families felt it was a bad time to buy durables, up from 27 percent in August 1979 and 21 percent in November 1978. Fewer respondents, when explaining their market views, mentioned buy-in-advance rationales, and somewhat more frequently mentioned higher prices as the cause of postponement. Favorable attitudes toward market conditions for cars were held by 38 percent of all families in November 1979, largely unchanged from the 39 percent recorded in November 1978. Unfavorable assessments, however, are now held by the majority (52 per­ cent), up from 40 percent in November 1978. When asked to explain their views, 18 percent mentioned high interest rates as the reason for unfavorable car buying conditions, up from 1 percent or less in August 1979 and November 1978. Throughout 1979, the rise in unfavorable assessments of car buying conditions among families with incomes of $15,000 or more was steep: the proportion who reported unfavorable attitudes increased by about 5 percentage points per quarter, increasing from 35 percent in February to 51 percent in November 1979. During this time, buy-in-advance rationales declined significantly (16 percent in Novemver 1979, down from 28 percent in November 1978). -4- CHflRT 1 - HISTORICAL SERIES THE INDEX OF CONSUMER SENTIMENT ; 1 • : 1 last tan laia taai taaa taai taa? taaa mt ma ma m7 ta?a 8UflATE8.LT SAT A CHRRT 27 - HISTORICAL SERIES BUYING CONDITIONS FOR HOUSES 1 130 110 5 90 o 70 50 30 1 USE ia>7 lass tan 1883 last 1887 last 1871 1»7S 1876 m7 187» BUAATEALT gain # I % ^JfeSfct/ ^ Surveys of Consumer Attitudes •^/^Wt .i Monitoring Economic Change Program # \TYOF# ^ F.

Al­ though the Index has remained largely unchanged since mid-1979, the current level of consumer sentiment represents a significant decline from a year ago when the Index figure was 75.0. * Among families with incomes of $15,000 or more, the Index of Consumer Sentiment stood at 57.2 in November, nearly 2 Index points below the 59.1 recorded in August 1979, and 10 Index points below the November 1978 reading (67.7). *The largely unchanged reading in the Index of Consumer Sentiment was due to offsetting shifts in its subcomponents. In the November survey, attitudes toward personal financial progress and buying conditions—the current subcomponent—decl ined sharply in comparison to the August quarterly reading. In contrast, attitudes toward short and long term business prospects improved somewhat in the November survey over the August readings.

  • TUNISIA Date of Elections: 4 November 1979 Purpose Of
    TUNISIA Date of Elections: 4 November 1979 Purpose of Elections Elections were held for all the members of Parliament on the normal expiry of their term of office. Characteristics of Parliament The unicameral Parliament of Tunisia, the National Assembly, is composed of 121 members elected for 5 years. Electoral System All citizens aged 20 years or more who have held Tunisian nationality for at least five years and who are in full possession of their civil and political rights are entitled to vote. Disqualified are persons convicted of crime; those convicted of offences which entail either an unsuspended sentence of imprisonment in excess of three months or a suspended sentence of imprisonment in excess of six months; those under guardianship; undis­ charged bankrupts; the insane; and members of the armed forces and National Guard. The electoral registers are permanent. They are revised at the commune and sector level on January 1. Citizens living abroad may also be registered. All disputes concerning the lists are resolved by a revision committee. Voting is not compulsory. Candidates to Parliament must be qualified electors who are at least 28 years of age and born of a Tunisian father. Governors, magistrates, certain local public officials and members of the police force cannot be elected. The exercise of public functions which are non-elective and remunerated out of funds from the State, public establishments or public collectivities are generally incompatible with the office of Deputy; this is also true for the office of president or director of a national enterprise and public establishment, as well as director or administrator of certain public enterprises.
