These Are The Most Welcoming Countries To Refugees

New research from Amnesty International has identified China as the country with the most welcoming attitude to refugees. The country scored higher than the twenty-six  (26) other nations surveyed in terms of positive attitudes held by members of the public towards refugees fleeing war or persecution.

The research looked at a number of attitudes including whether refugees should be given asylum, whether national governments were doing enough and how much help people would consider giving refugees themselves.

Refugees Welcome Index ranks countries on a scale of Zero (0) to hundred (100), where 0 represents all respondents saying they would refuse refugees entry to their country and 100 represents all respondents saying they would accept refugees into their neighborhood or home.

Germany and the UK follow closely behind China with positive attitude scores in the 80s. The United States scores 60% while France scores 56%. Russia is at the bottom of the list of countries surveyed with only 18% of respondents saying they would welcome refugees in their neighbourhood or home.
