Each respondent was offered a list of headaches to point out three, at most, so the sum exceeds a hundred per cent.
Indicatively, an overwhelming 73 per cent complained of poverty in a similar probe of January 2003.
29 per cent stressed health and medical treatment problems now, as against 30 per cent, 2003. Everyday chores ranked third, with 17 per cent, against 19 per cent, 2003. Next came fatigue and overwork, with the same 16 per cent on both probes. Fear of losing job came fifth, with 14 per cent, against 15 per cent on the previous probe.
12 per cent complained of disillusionment and lack of any bright prospects (15 per cent, 2003). A similar 12 per cent were dissatisfied with housing conditions, same as in 2003. 9 per cent said they had no chance to give their children decent education (11 per cent, 2003). Lack of leisure time brought 8 per cent on either probe. Alcoholics and drug addicts in the family harassed 2 per cent on both instances. The same percentage came for household quarrels.
Another 2 per cent found the offered list of problems inadequate, and pointed out other headaches.
