| Unemployment is the world's fastest-rising worry, a BBC World Service survey covering 11,000 people in 23 countries suggests.
The annual poll, called The World Speaks, gave people a list of concerns and asked which they had discussed with friends or family in the past month.
Corruption and poverty still ranked the highest, but unemployment was mentioned by 18% - six times the rate citing it in the first survey in 2009.
The poll was carried out by Globescan.
The growth in concern was found across all countries surveyed, although corruption emerged as the most talked about global concern.
Nearly a quarter of those asked had discussed that topic in some form over the past four weeks.
