The generosity map of the world

Ahead of the UK’s first #GivingTuesday on 2 December, the Charities Aid Foundation has released its annual World Giving Index, charting generosity around the globe.

The index ranks 135 countries, taking into account the percentage of people who gave money to charity, volunteered or helped a stranger.

It shows:

• 1.4billion people donated money
• 1billion spent time volunteering
• There are just five countries in the top 20 who are members of the G20, which is a group made up of the world’s largest economies

Also:

• 2.3billion: People who helped a stranger globally
• 50 years +: Globally, older people are more likely to give to charity
• 91 per cent of people in Burma had donated money in the previous month
