Public Opinion Towards Migration II

Abstract

European democracies are witnessing an increasing polarization of public opinion towards migration. While existing data shows rising scepticism in people’s attitudes towards migrants in many countries, assessing which factors account for such attitudes is a rather complex task. Yet, it is an essential task as the public opinion towards migration shape both immigrant integration practices and migration policy-making. This panel explores public attitudes towards migration from a comparative perspective to assess which factors account for people’s attitudes towards migrants on individual and contextual levels.
