In the European Union (EU), immigration has become a fact of life. Today, approximately 37 million persons born outside the EU reside in the Union making around 8% of its total population. Both inside the EU, and between the EU and the rest of the world, populations have become more mobile, moving for work, family, leisure, and, unfortunately, fleeing persecution and war. In all likelihood, migration will remain a key feature of European societies for years to come. Effective integration policies, particularly for the inclusion of third-country nationals, is crucial. with Member States and other actors to tackle the challenges of integration, it is necessary to have a clearer understanding of public opinion on the issue. In addition, it is crucial to understand how views differ across Member States, as well as among European citizens across socio-demographic groups and depending on existing interactions and ties with immigrants. This survey follows a survey conducted in 2017 to measure the attitudes of Europeans towards immigration and the integration of non-EU immigrants. To this purpose, this report focuses on: General perceptions of immigrants and knowledge about the extent and nature of immigration in the respondent's home country; Self-reported personal experiences, ties with, and level of comfort in interacting with immigrants; Evaluation of the success in integrating immigrants, the factors which facilitate integration, the obstacles that may prevent it and the measures that could support it; Opinions about the roles and responsibilities of various actors, the media and government institutions with respect to the integration of immigrants.
