This study is the result of an initiative of the Council for the Elimination of Racial and Ethnic Discrimination, a representative council of the General State Administration attached to the Ministry of Equality through the Directorate-General for Equal Treatment and Ethnic and Racial Diversity.
This practice was implemented to address how the prevalence of discrimination based on ethnic origin evolved from 2010, 2011 and 2013 to 2020 – especially as reported in the last two studies – among the eight defined groups (Afro-Caribbeans and Afro-Latin-Americans (Afro-descendants), non-Mediterranean Africans, Indians and Pakistanis, Eastern Europeans, Maghrebis, Asians, Andean Latin-Americans and Roma).
The aim is to further the understanding of this phenomenon by analysing the extent to which and the intensity with which people experience discrimination in Spain. To that end, a representative survey was conducted nationally, covering Spain’s 17 autonomous communities and two autonomous cities.
As in previous editions of this report, and to provide continuity to this longitudinal study, information was gathered from the same eight population groups of diverse ethnic and territorial origins with a view to gaining insight into how they perceive discrimination. The groups are Afro-Caribbeans and Afro-Latin-Americans (Afro-descendants), non-Mediterranean Africans, Indians and Pakistanis, Eastern Europeans, Maghrebis, Asians, Andean Latin-Americans and Roma.
A total of 1,624 interviews have been carried out in all the autonomous communities and two autonomous cities of the Spanish state. They have been answered by people who are part of the eight population groups defined previously.
