Comparative Dataset on Migration

The purpose of this dataset is to provide a systematic set of standardised contextual (economic, socio-political, cultural and legal) indicators in order to identify and measure on a comparative basis those contextual factors that have an (beneficial or inhibiting) impact on European, but not exclusively, responses to mass migration. Attention has been paid to existing socio-economic conditions and to national policies related to immigrants and asylum seekers. In this respect, the dataset comprises a set of both macro-level indicators measuring the socio-economic, political and institutional context of migration and cultural – or individual-level – indicators addressing ordinary citizens’ subjective attitudes, behaviours and perceptions about migration related-phenomena (e.g. perceived discrimination on ethnic grounds; immigration being bad or good for a country's economy; a country's cultural life being undermined or enriched by immigration).本数据集旨在提供一套系统化的标准化语境指标（涵盖经济、社会政治、文化与法律维度），以便通过比较研究的方式，识别并衡量那些对大规模移民应对举措产生正向或负向影响的语境因素——此类因素不仅覆盖欧洲地区，亦不局限于欧洲。本数据集已兼顾既有社会经济状况，以及与移民和寻求庇护者相关的国家政策。就此而言，数据集包含两类指标：一类为用于衡量移民相关社会经济、政治与制度语境的宏观层面指标；另一类为针对移民相关现象的文化层面（或称个体层面）指标，用于反映普通公民对移民相关现象的主观态度、行为与认知，例如基于族裔的感知性歧视、移民对一国经济的利弊评价、移民对国家文化生活的侵蚀或增益效应等。
