Survey on diversity and coexistence in Switzerland

Goals

The survey aims to present an accurate picture of the issues raised by the coexistence of different groups currently living in the country. It allows monitoring of trends in society in several areas such as racism, discrimination and integration. It provides answers to the following questions:

  • Is racism a serious problem in Switzerland?

  • Are migrants well-integrated?

  • How is the presence of foreigners perceived?

  • Do prejudices against certain groups exist?

  • Which groups are victims of discrimination?

The data collected are used to observe social change and help to guide policies on integration and anti-discrimination.
