Abstract
This report asks what individuals across the world think about immigration, why, and how best we might affect that. It seeks to inform the Global Forum on Migration and Development (GFMD) and, in particular, its Ad Hoc Working Group on Public Narratives on Migration. Moreover, it assists that group and other interested parties and stakeholders who wish to implement Global Compact for Safe, Orderly, and Regular Migration (GCM) and particularly its Objective 17 to ‘Eliminate all forms of discrimination and promote evidence-based public discourse to shape perceptions of migration’. As such, the key motivations of this report include setting the record straight about what attitudes to immigration of citizens across the world are, offering the most holistic and cutting-edge explanations for why attitudes to immigration vary as they do and how they affect a range of vitally important phenomena, and finally recommending how policymakers and communicators can use these findings to produce better and more sustainable policies that are fit to meet the demands of a century likely to be defined by human migration.
