Survey: Czechs are the Most Opposed to Migrants in EU

The EU is the most divided region in the world when people were asked whether their communities are good places to welcome and integrate migrants. Overall, out of 143 countries polled, Canada was the country with the highest percentage of people (90%) considering their communities to be good places in this respect, while Hungary had the lowest percentage (17%).

Since 2010, attitudes have become more open to migrants in a number of countries, where labor shortages and an aging population are forcing the government to open the country’s doors to new and return migrants’.

However, results in some countries such as Greece and those that were part of the Soviet bloc point to a decreasing sense of openness toward immigrants.
