12017 CITIC-PRUDENTIAL RELATIONSHIP INDEX - CHINA2017 CITIC- PRUDENTIAL RELATIONSHIP INDEXChina Report22017 CITIC-PRUDENTIAL RELATIONSHIP INDEX - CHINATHE STATE OF RELATIONSHIPS IN CHINA IN 2017Relationships are important. They are essential to our happiness, well-being and longevity. But how much do we truly understand about them? What are the dynamics? What weakens them? And what makes them stronger? The inaugural 2016 CITIC-Prudential Relationship Index (CPRI) brought forward a greater understanding of personal relationships. We saw smiles and tears, laughter and fears, but most importantly, we saw love and respect. The findings revealed behaviours that influence relationships and key drivers to make them better. By launching the second edition of the CITIC-Prudential Relationship Index (CPRI), CITIC-Prudential continues to explore the state of relationships across Asia, in Cambodia, Hong Kong, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and China. This year, over 4,600 people shared insights into their relationships with partners, parents, children, friends and relatives.The index details how well current relationships in China measure against needs and expectations, and what can be done to improve them. A score of 100 on the CPRI indicates that a persons primary relationships deliver 100% of what they want from that relationship. In China, 600 interviews were conducted through the online sampling of adults between the ages of 25 and 55 living in Beijing, Shanghai or Guangzhou. Respondents had monthly household incomes of at least RMB10,000, representing approximately the top two-thirds of household incomes in the surveyed cities.The 2017 CITIC-Prudential Relationship Index for China is 54/100. This means, on average, peoples primary relationships fulfil 54% of their desired needs. On the flip side, these results reveal a 46% “relationship gap” in China. The score for 2017 is the same as it was for 2016 (54/100).This report highlights what CITIC-Prudential has learned from people in China about the state of their relationships in 2017.PRI of 54/100China ranks 9thout of nine markets inAsia with an index score of 54/100.Cambodia is 1stin the region.China9th32017 CITIC-PRUDENTIAL RELATIONSHIP INDEX - CHINAThe 2017 CITIC-Prudential Relationship Index for China is 54/100.
