This question also invites you to consider your own role in shaping business behaviour.
Are you willing to use your consumer choices — by choosing to buy from businesses that contribute to the GSCF — to encourage greater corporate responsibility and ensure ongoing funding for the childcare system?

About PByT Surveys & Open Democracy

The PByT surveys represent a rolling snapshot of global sentiment from real people whose identity has been verified. The results can be analyzed in a variety of ways to get a better understanding of key issues utilizing Bayesian statistics - a mathematical concept that updates beliefs in light of new data or evidence.

As a result, these surveys have the potential to be the most definitive resources on some of the most critically important issues of modern times and serve as the basis for the idea of "open democracy."

Have your say and help shape the interconnected world of tomorrow based on trust, mutual-aid and cooperation.
