| Description |
The objectives of this project are:
- To conduct three national surveys, in the Netherlands, Italy
and Belgium using the concept for measuring major migrant groups
experiences of racism and discrimination developed in Sweden,
Denmark and Finland in the late 1990s.
- To give current knowledge on racial, ethnic, cultural and
religious discrimination and present comparable results for
five major migrant groups in each of the three Member States
based on representative samples
- To discuss the methodological instruments and make recommendations
for further use in the Member States in terms of methodology.
The three national studies will bring additional methodological
knowledge on the development of instruments for measuring data
in a comparable way in the Community and its Member States.
The concept that has been developed in Sweden, Denmark and Finland
for measuring migrant groups’ experiences of racism and discrimination,
is a battery of questions in a questionnaire directed to samples
of migrant groups. As in the Nordic countries, the choices of
migrant groups included in the survey are based on the specific
national situation, as well as knowledge of vulnerable migrant
groups.
The groups addressed by the Dutch survey are people from Turkish,
Moroccan, former Yugoslavian, Surnames and Indonesian origin living
in Den Haag, Rotterdam, Tilburg and Arnhem. The Italian study surveyed immigrants from the Philippines, Perù, Albania, Morocco,
and Senegal living in Turin, Florence, Brescia and Naples. In Belgium, Moroccan, Turkish, Congolese and Chinese migrants are included in the survey.
