Estonia - Public perceptions


A majority of Estonians view diversity as an enrichment to their national culture. The idea that all legally-established non-EU migrants should be deported is endorsed by only 12.6%, the sixth lowest rate in the EU-27. Over two in three, one of the highest rates in the EU-27, believe they should have social rights equal to nationals. Some of the highest support in the EU-27 for labour market positive action measures based on ethnicity are found in Estonia. However, Estonians demonstrate some of the least support for facilitated naturalisation. The majority does not know about their rights as victims of discrimination or that the law punishes ethnic discrimination in the labour market. Estonians are among the least likely in the EU-25, after Latvians, Lithuanians and Poles, to think ethnic discrimination is fairly widespread, and only one in four think it got worse from 2001 to 2006.
