As part of the "What Worries the World" survey, the market research institute Ipsos asked the red-white-red population about their biggest concerns, and once again, it's immigration (37 percent), healthcare (31), and inflation (30).

Crime and violence (29) closely follow in fourth place. 80 percent of the population also believes that Austria is economically on the wrong track.

Concern About Migration

The representative survey, conducted in October 2024, shows that concern about immigration has slightly decreased compared to September, but it remains the most pressing issue for the Austrian population. The issue of climate change (17 percent) is not even a concern for a fifth of the population and has lost three percent compared to the previous month. The extreme weather events in September have probably been forgotten, Ipsos speculated.

Economic Situation

The "What Worries the World" survey with 800 respondents also shows that Austrians predominantly rate the current economic situation in Austria as bad. 15 percent of the population even rate it as very bad, 55 percent as rather bad, and this applies across all population groups.
