WORLD REFUGEE DAYGlobal attitudes towards refugeesJune 2021https://www.ipsos.com/en/world-refugee-day-2021© Ipsos | Attitudes to Refugees | June 2021 | Version 1 | PublicTHERE IS STILL A LONG WAY TO GO TO IMPROVE ATTITUDES TOWARDS REFUGEES IN PRACTICE RATHER THAN THEORY.Key findingsThe majority of people in the countries surveyed (70% on average) support the principle of seeking refuge from war and persecution, but few (14%) are open to letting more refugees into their country in practice after the pandemic.People are reluctant to see their governments spend more on supporting refugees around the world due to the pandemic, with only 14% on average agreeing.People are divided as to whether their governments should have a closed border policy. On average across the countries surveyed, half (50%) agree that their country should close its borders to refugees entirely at this time while 43% disagree.There is widespread scepticism about the motivation of refugees coming into their country. At least half or more in every country polled agree that foreigners entering their country as refugees aren’t genuine refugees.There is a variation in views by country. For example, people in Turkey and Malaysia tend to have more negative views towards refugees.2 ‒ © Ipsos | Attitudes to Refugees | June 2021QThinking about your country, do you agree or disagree with the following statements?People should be able to take refuge in other countries, including in [COUNTRY], to escape from war or persecutionOn average, the majority in the countries surveyed agree that people should be able to take refuge in other countries, including their own, to escape war or persecution.% agree very much/somewhatGlobal Country Average Argentina Italy BrazilNetherlands Chile SpainSweden Australia Great Britain CanadaMexico GermanyPeru United StatesSouth Africa Turkey RussiaColombia Belgium India Poland France Japan Malaysia China HungarySaudi Arabia South Korea51%% disagree somewhat/very much70%23%79%16%79% 18%78%16%78%16%77%19%77%18%76% 21%74%20%73%17%72%20%72%24%71%21%71%25%71%20%70%24%70% 28%69%22%68%27%67%25%66%26%66%17%64%24%64%24%64%30%63%28%63%33%63%23%40%Agree 2020 Agree 201976% 74% 77% 80% 78% 79% 81% 78% 78% 77% 74% 76% 67% 72% 76% 77% 70% N/A 71% 61% 67% 68% 69% 60% N/A 57% 62% 55%74% 64% 61% N/A 73% 69% 69% 63% 72% 67% 67% 57% 70% 62% 71% 63% 66% N/A 50% 65% 58% 43% 23% 57% N/A 43% 63% 59%Base: 19,510 online adults aged 16-74, May 21 - June 4, 2021Note: This survey was also polled in 2020 and 2019.

Ipsos interviewed a total of 19,510 adults, aged 18-74 in the United States, Canada, Malaysia, South Africa, and Turkey, and age 1674 in 23 other markets between Friday, May 21st and Friday, June 4th, 2021.The sample consists of approximately 1,000 individuals in each of Australia, Belgium, Canada, mainland China, France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy, Japan, Spain, and the US, and 500 individuals in each of Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Hungary, India, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Peru, Poland, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, South Korea, Sweden, and Turkey.The samples in Argentina, Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, and the US can be taken as representative of their general adult populations under the age of 75.The samples in Brazil, mainland China, Chile, Colombia, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Peru, Russia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Turkey are more urban, more educated, and/or more affluent than the general population. The survey results for these countries should be viewed as reflecting the views of the more “connected” segment of their population.The data is weighted so that each country’s sample composition best reflects the demographic profile of the adult population according to the most recent census data.“The Global Country Average” reflects the average result for all the countries and markets where the survey was conducted. It has not been adjusted to the population size of each country or market and is not intended to suggest a total result.Where results do not sum to 100 or the “difference” appears to be +/-1 more/less than the actual, this may be due to rounding, multipleresponses, or the exclusion of “don’t know” or not stated responses.The precision of Ipsos online polls is calculated using a credibility interval with a poll of 1,000 accurate to +/- 3.5 percentage points and of 500 accurate to +/- 5.0 percentage points. For more information on the Ipsos use of credibility intervals, please visit the Ipsos website.The publication of these findings abides by local rules and regulations.9 © Ipsos | Attitudes to Refugees | June 2021FOR MORE INFORMATIONJessica BruceResearch Director IpsosJessica.Bruce@ipsos.comIlya CeresoConsultant IpsosIlya.cereso@ipsos.comJessica PaceGraduate Research Executive IpsosJessica.Pace@ipsos.com10 ‒ © Ipsos | Attitudes to Refugees | June 2021Charlotte PeelResearch Manager IpsosCharlotte.Peel@ipsos.comABOUT IPSOSIpsos is the world’s third largest market research company, present in 90 markets and employing more than 18,000 people.Our passionately curious research professionals, analysts and scientists have built unique multi-specialist capabilities that provide true understanding and powerful insights into the actions, opinions and motivations of citizens, consumers, patients, customers or employees.
