In 2020, the Chamber of Deputies asked the government to carry out this study with a view to developing a coherent strategy against racism and discrimination, based on first-hand empirical data.
The practice is needed for the following purposes:
The quantitative survey questionnaire measured the attitudes/perceptions of the national population and its so-called minority groups in relation to (i) racism and stereotypes, (ii) immigration, (iii) the extent of ethno-racial discrimination experiences as a witness or as a victim, (iv) the places where such discrimination is addressed and (v) the public policies concerned.
A stratified random sample of 15,000 residents aged 18 years and over was drawn to capture sufficiently the large numbers of native-born people and sub-populations who are most at risk of discrimination and racism. At the end of the survey, LISER collected about 3,000 completed questionnaires, and calculated statistical weights to extrapolate the results to the entire resident population aged 18+ and to some sub-populations of interest. The data from the survey allowed for the measurement of perceptions of the population and the identification of statistically significant differences between sub-populations.
