Lithuania - Public perceptions



Lithuanians are most supportive in the EU-27 of easy naturalisation (63.5% in favour). CZ and PL are the only other countries with majorities in favour. However, Lithuania is one of only five EU-27 countries where only a minority (47.8%) supports equal social rights for legally-resident third-country nationals. 39.7% of Lithuanians support their right to family reunion (39.7%). 51.9% of Lithuanians believe that ethnic diversity enriches the national culture, although a high 11% stated that they did not know. Most think more could be done in the struggle against discrimination and the majority claimed not to know their rights as a victim of discrimination. Only 19.5% knew that ethnic discrimination in the labour market is illegal. Lithuanians and Latvians are much less likely than other EU-27 populations to think that there is fairly widespread ethnic discrimination or that foreigners are treated unfairly in the labour market.
