This report presents the latest findings from an Ipsos global survey of over 20,000 adults across 28 countries for World Refugee Day 2022. The research seeks to shed a light on the magnitude of the refugee issue, and to contribute to a better global understanding of public support for refugees.

Key global findings:

• Three in four adults on average across the countries surveyed agree with the principle that people should be able to take refuge in other countries to escape war or persecution, and attitudes toward refugees have become more positive on average since last year.
• Two in three support allowing more people into their country if they are seeking refuge to escape war, violent conflict, or natural disaster or the effects of climate change, but there is less support for those seeking refuge due to personal characteristics such as gender, sexuality, or political opinions.
• The public is divided on whether governments are currently accepting the right number of refugees or spending the right amount to support refugees. 

The survey results outlined in tis report are taken from a 28-country survey conducted by Ipsos, on its Global Advisor online platform. Ipsos interviewed a total of 20,505 adults, aged 18-74 in the United States, Canada, Malaysia, South Africa and Turkey, and age 16-74 in 23 other countries, including Australia, between 22 April 2022 and 6 May 2022.
