Davos Leaders: The Future will be "little less safe" and "little more prosperous&

So, this is another riddle by the World Economic Forum surveys conducted with the Gallup International Institute. The annual survey for "world leaders"- Davos participants- that paves the ground for the annual World Economic Forum meeting in Davos has asked the opinions of 2,500 world leaders was linked to the Gallup International "Voices of the People" survey based on the opinions of 50,000 people from 60 countries.

This should reflect a nice panorama on how people think about the world, and some of the results were very interesting, and almost antagonistic.

Leaders and people were asked about how do they think about the future, and about 33% of the "leaders" gave a grim picture of a "less safe world" while 24% of people thought it would be " alittle safer". So, ordinary people, despite their economic and political problems are still more optimistic

Although "world leaders" were negative regarding security, they were positive that the next generations will live in a a good economy. About 45% of "world leaders" thought that next generation with live in a "little more prosperous world". This feeling was shared, although less enthusiastically by the "people" with 29% thinking of a prosperous world.

The final set of questions was more interesting, aiming to list the priorities that world leaders should tackle. The "World Leaders" themselves placed "Economic Growth" as a main priority with an overwhelming 31% compared to 17% thinking that "closing the gap between rich and poor is a priority". The "people" were interested in economic growth (17%) and closing the gap between rich and poor (16%) but also placed a strong support for "environmental protection" (14%) which has been sensitive to only 9% of the global leaders.

Istill need someone to explain the riddle of how world leaders think of an economically prosperous, but less safe world? can we find the answer in Davos? I doubt.
