For Italians, immigrants are 23%. In reality they are only 6%
Republic publishes the report of a global survey on immigration. Transatlantic Trends is dealing with it. The document, in English, is very interesting and shows a lot of tables on which one could discussing for months about the distinction between perception and reality.
One thing is indicative of all: the question "what percentage of immigrants in the population?", In all countries under review there was a clear answer. According to citizens, the number of immigrants is significantly higher than the actual data. In Italy, the public respondents argue that immigrants are 23% of the population. The reality is quite different: immigrants are only 6%. So, for the Italians, the perception that he is 4 times higher than the reality.
Why this happens is a subject of study for political analysts, political scientists and sociologists. Sondaggisticamente speaking, however, we note a curiosity: the Italians are the people who have a distorted perception of reality more. In no other country appealed to the perception of the number of immigrants is greater than 3 times compared to the objective. Even in countries with high numbers of immigrants, as in Canada, the perception was higher in relative terms.
One thing is certain: the perception is a factor indicative of how a company has self-consciousness and knows how to give a realistic and objective a problem, distinguishing between cause and effect, between action and reaction. If the perception is wrong, then it is very likely that the reaction is also wrong.
