Images of immigrants in Slovenia : insights from public opinion research
Zavratnik, Simona, 1970-
The article deals with the Slovene public's perception of the issues of migration, integration of immigrants, and multiculturalism. It is empirically based on the research survey "Migration, ...integration, and multiculturalism - empirical data collectionŽ which was performed in 2007. The first topic of the article addresses the publicʼs general attitudes to migration and migrants: migrants as a threat and/or an economic corrective of the labour market. The data shows support for two negatively toned statements, which imply that immigrants are a factor of unfair competition for the domestic population and a burden for the taxpayers. The second theme concerns positioning Slovenia in contemporary migration trends. Here, the public opinion favours segmented admission of immigrants, based on both geographical origin and socio-economic background. The public opinion also brings forth two conflicting statements: a more restrictive asylum and migration policy is required versus Slovenia should work towards a tolerant and multicultural society. The third topic deals with integration policies and thus with the internal social borders between immigrants and the majority population. The respondents considered the following factors as the most important for successful integration in Slovene society: knowledge of the language, adequate education and employment; skin colour and the Catholic religion were considered less important factors.
