UK - Public perceptions



Over two-thirds of Britons find diversity to be an enrichment. 67.8% also believe ethnic discrimination is fairly widespread in the UK. Over half of Britons believe that migrants face unequal opportunities in the labour market. The UK is one of only four countries where a majority of the population knew of laws punishing ethnic discrimination in the labour market. A sizeable majority (72.9%) support positive action measures in the labour market based on ethnicity. Unlike in most countries, only a minority of Britons (42.7%) support a migrant's right to family reunion. Over one-third of Britons polled believe migrants should be able to naturalise easily.
