Pew Research Center on tehnyt data-analyysia vuoden 2015 matuvirrasta Eurooppaan, joka oli 1,3 miljoonaa tulijaa EU-maihin, Norjaan ja Sveitsiin. Edellinen ennätys on vuodelta 1992, jolloin päästiin lukuun 700,000. Data on kerätty Eurostatista.


--- Lainaus käyttäjältä: PRC ---A record 1.3 million migrants applied for asylum in the 28 member states of the European Union, Norway and Switzerland in 2015 – nearly double the previous high water mark of roughly 700,000 that was set in 1992 after the fall of the Iron Curtain and the collapse of the Soviet Union, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of data from Eurostat, the European Union’s statistical agency.

Tulijoiden TOP-alkuperämaa: Kosovo, Albania, Syyria, Afganistan, Irak.


--- Lainaus käyttäjältä: PRC ---Today, Eastern European countries like Kosovo and Albania still contribute to the overall flow of asylum seekers into the EU, Norway and Switzerland, but about half of refugees in 2015 trace their origins to just three countries: Syria, Afghanistan and Iraq. Conflicts, both fresh and long-standing, in each of these states have led to the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. Some have been displaced within their homelands; others have sought refuge in neighboring countries; and still others have made the often perilous journey to Europe (and elsewhere) to seek asylum.

--- Lainaus ---Since 2012, Germany has been the primary destination country for asylum seekers in Europe, receiving 442,000 asylum applications in 2015 alone. Following Germany, Hungary (174,000 applications) and Sweden (156,000) received the highest number of asylum applications in 2015. Meanwhile, France (71,000) and the UK (39,000) received roughly the same number of applications in 2015 as in years just prior to the refugee surge in 2015.

--- Lainaus ---Number of Refugees to Europe Increases to Record 1.3 Million

The number of people who left their homes and applied for asylum in Europe surged to a record 1.3 million in 2015, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of 1985-2015 Eurostat data.

Last year, Europe saw more asylum applicants than in the previous peak years of 1992 and 2002 combined. Last year's number amounts to about one-tenth of all applications received in the past 30 years in the European Union, Norway and Switzerland. About half of the 1.3 million come from only three countries: Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria – nations that have been devastated by war and conflict.

The new report also found that a majority of citizens in all EU countries disapprove of how the bloc is dealing with the refugee crisis.

“The highest disapproval is in some of the places with the largest number of refugees,” Phillip Connor, research associate with the Pew Research Center, told ABC News.

Countries such as Sweden and Hungary, recipients of large numbers of refugees, had some of the highest disapproval rates, the report shows.

The flow of refugees has also impacted European countries’ population makeup. In several countries, such as Sweden, Hungary, Norway and Austria, the share of the foreign-born increased by 1 percent or more in 2015 alone.

“That’s a significant population shift in one year,” Connor said. “It might not seem much, but in the U.S. it took a decade from 2005 to 2015 to increase the foreign-born by 1 percent of the total population.”

Since 2012, Germany has been the primary destination country for asylum seekers in Europe, receiving 442,000 asylum applications in just 2015. Measured per capita, Hungary, followed by Sweden and Austria, received the highest numbers of asylum seekers in 2015. In comparison, France and the UK received roughly the same number of applications in 2015 as in years prior to last year’s refugee surge.

The number of children reaching Europe alone with no parents or guardians increased in 2015 to about 7 percent of all asylum applicants.

Alaric:
Hyvin mielenkiintoinen tutkimus, pitääpä perehtyä kunnolla.

Pisti silmään tuosta alemmasta liitekuvasta, että yllättäen Ruotsissa ollaan hyvin tyytymättömiä siihen miten EU on hoitanut "pakolais"kriisiä. Mutta tarkoittaako tämä sitä, että Ruotsiin on heidän mielestään tullut liikaa matuja vaiko myöskin esimerkiksi sitä, että matuja kohdellaan ruotsalaisten mielestä jotenkin epäinhimillisesti? En oikein usko, että kaikki noista 88 %:sta ovat vastanneet kyselyyn ns. nuivasti.

--- Lainaus ---European asylum applications remained near record levels in 2016

Europe’s record for annual asylum applications was nearly broken last year, but the numbers trailed off considerably by the end of 2016 and fell short of the previous year’s peak surge in late summer and early fall.

In 2016, European Union countries, Norway and Switzerland received more than 1.2 million asylum applications, only about 92,000 fewer than the record 1.3 million applications received in 2015, according to a Pew Research Center analysis of recently released data from Eurostat, Europe’s statistical agency.

At the same time, however, the number of monthly asylum applications in Europe decreased considerably at the end of 2016, dropping from 100,000 or more applications per month for most of 2016 to about 80,000 in October, 72,000 in November and 61,000 in December. The monthly number of asylum applications at the end of 2016 was similar to that of the beginning part of 2015, before the refugee surge.

That 2015 surge began in the spring, when tens of thousands of migrants – most from the Middle East – entered the Continent each month. Consequently, monthly asylum applications increased for six straight months, rising to a peak of 180,000 in October 2015. For most of 2016 (through September), the number of applications dropped to a monthly average of 113,000.

In all, Europe received some 2.5 million first-time asylum applications in 2015 and 2016. The European country with the most applications in the past two years has been Germany, which received nearly half (45%) of these applications, followed by Hungary (8%), Italy (8%) and Sweden (7%). Both Italy and Greece continue to receive new arrivals on their shores, but Italy received more than Greece in 2016.

Among those who applied for asylum in 2015 and 2016, more than half (53%) were nationals from just three countries: Syria (28%), Afghanistan (15%) and Iraq (10%). Asylum applicants from Albania, Pakistan, Nigeria and Kosovo were between 3% and 4% each of all asylum applications.

In Europe, all asylum seekers, whether children or adults, must file applications. They then wait for their case to be reviewed by the country where they filed their application. With a mounting backlog of more than a million applications currently under review by European authorities, decisions can take months or sometimes more than a year. Meanwhile, many asylum seekers wait in government-run facilities where they are provided medical care and food. If an asylum seeker’s application is accepted, they receive permanent residence and permission to work. If their application is rejected, they can file an appeal within a certain period of time, depending on the European country. They are also subject to deportation.

The monthly count of new asylum applications remained around 100,000 for most of 2016, even though the number of new refugees entering the EU via Greece dropped sharply after a March 2016 agreement that saw the EU and Turkey take measures to deter migration across the Eastern Mediterranean.

There are several possible reasons for the absence of a corresponding decrease in new asylum applications with the decline in refugee flows. The first is a lag between the times when refugees arrived in Europe and when they applied for asylum. The German Interior Ministry, for example, states that many asylum seekers who arrived in Germany during 2015 did not file for asylum until 2016.

It is also possible that asylum seekers applied in multiple countries, raising the total number of applications across Europe. Human traffickers, for example, have been very active in smuggling asylum seekers from Hungary to Germany, many of whom first filed for asylum in Hungary. In fact, Eurostat reports that 148,000 asylum applications first submitted in Hungary have been withdrawn since the beginning of 2015, accounting for nearly three-fourths (73%) of all applications received there during the past two years. (Applications can be withdrawn implicitly by an applicant’s not appearing for scheduled meetings, or explicitly by an applicant’s requesting their application be removed.)

--- Lainaus ---The Digital Footprint of Europe’s Refugees

Online searches in 2015 and 2016 open window into path, timing of migrant flows from Middle East to Europe.

Migrants leaving their homes for a new country often carry a smartphone to communicate with family that may have stayed behind and to help search for border crossings, find useful information about their journey or search for details about their destination. The digital footprints left by online searches can provide insight into the movement of migrants as they transit between countries and settle in new locations, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of refugee flows between the Middle East and Europe.

Refugees from just two Middle Eastern countries — Syria and Iraq — made up a combined 38% of the record 1.3 million people who arrived and applied for asylum in the European Union, Norway and Switzerland in 2015 and a combined 37% of the 1.2 million first-time asylum applications in 2016. Most Syrian and Iraqi refugees during this period crossed from Turkey to Greece by sea, before continuing on to their final destinations in Europe.

Since many refugees from Syria and Iraq speak Arabic as their native, if not only, language, it is possible to identify key moments in their migration by examining trends in internet searches conducted in Turkey using Arabic, as opposed to the dominant Turkic languages in that country. For example, Turkey-based searches for the word “Greece” in Arabic closely mirror 2015 and 2016 fluctuations in the number of refugees crossing the Aegean Sea to Greece. The searches also provide a window into how migrants planned to move across borders — for example, the search term “Greece” was often combined with “smuggler.” In addition, an hourly analysis of searches in Turkey shows spikes in the search term “Greece” during early morning hours, a typical time for migrants making their way across the Mediterranean.

PRC on julkaissut laajahkon tutkimuksen amerikkalaisten muslimien asenteista heinäkuun lopulla. Tätä tutkimusta on käytetty useammassa mediassa lähteenä, koska se näyttää esim. homovastaisuuden laskua, ja on siltä osin argumentti monen amerikkalaisen kansanmielisen käyttämiin argumentteihin. Tästä syystä ajattelin, että tutkimuksen tänne tuominen on hyvinkin tarpeellista.

En ole ehtinyt syvällisesti tutustumaan koko tutkimukseen, mutta siellä on muutamia juttuja mitkä pistää silmään ja vaatii tarkempaa tarkastelua. Pieni lainaus ja muutama kaavio tänne, loput linkistä.

--- Lainaus ---U.S. Muslims Concerned About Their Place in Society, but Continue to Believe in the American Dream

Findings from Pew Research Center’s 2017 survey of U.S. Muslims

(...)

The new survey asked U.S. Muslims about a wide variety of topics, including religious beliefs and practices, social values, views on extremism and political preferences. While the survey finds that a majority disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job, this is not the first time the community has looked askance at a Republican in the White House. Indeed, Muslim Americans are no more disapproving of Trump today than they were of George W. Bush’s performance in office during his second term a decade ago.

And while Muslims say they face a variety of challenges and obstacles in the U.S., this too is nothing new. The share of U.S. Muslims who say it is getting harder to be a Muslim in America has hovered around 50% over the past 10 years. Over the same period, half or more of Muslims have consistently said that U.S. media coverage of Muslims is unfair.

The Muslim population in the U.S. is growing and highly diverse, made up largely of immigrants and the children of immigrants from all across the world. Indeed, respondents in the survey hail from at least 75 nations – although the vast majority are now U.S. citizens. As a group, Muslims are younger and more racially diverse than the general population.

Muslims also are quite varied in their religious allegiances and observances. Slightly more than half of U.S. Muslims are Sunnis (55%), but significant minorities identify as Shiite (16%) or as “just Muslim” (14%). Most Muslims say religion is very important in their lives (65%), and about four-in-ten (42%) say they pray five times a day. But many others say religion is less important to them and that they are not so consistent in performing salah, the ritual prayers that constitute one of the Five Pillars of Islam and traditionally are performed five times each day.

The survey also shows that Muslims largely share the general public’s concerns about religious extremism. Indeed, if anything, Muslims may be more concerned than non-Muslims about extremism in the name of Islam. Yet most Muslims say there is little support for extremism within the U.S. Muslim community, and few say they think violence against civilians can be justified in pursuit of religious, political or social causes.
