WHAT is EU-MIDIS?
It is the rst European Union-wide survey to ask immigrant
and ethnic minority groups about their experiences o
discrimination and criminal victimisation in everyday lie.
As many incidents o discrimination and victimisation go
unreported, and as current data collection on discrimination
and victimisation against minority groups is limited in many
Member States, EU-MIDIS provides the most comprehensive
evidence to date o the extent o discrimination and
victimisation against minorities in the EU.
In total 23,500 immigrant and ethnic minority people were
surveyed in ace-to-ace questionnaire interviews in all 27
Member States o the EU during 2008. A urther 5,000 people
rom the majority population living in the same areas as
minorities were interviewed in ten EU Member States to allow
or comparisons o results concerning some key questions.
Each interview lasted between 20 minutes and one hour,
and asked people a series o detailed questions depending
on the extent o their personal experiences o discrimination
and victimisation.
Survey Themes
The bulk o survey questions in EU-MIDIS covered the
ollowing themes:
generalquestionsaboutrespondentsperceptionsand
experiences o discrimination on dierent grounds in
addition to ethnic or immigrant origin such as age and
gender;
questionsaboutrespondentsawarenessoftheirrightswith
respect to the prohibition o discrimination on the basis o
ethnicity or immigrant background, and knowledge about
where to make complaints about discriminatory treatment;
specicquestionsaboutrespondentsexperiencesof
discrimination because o their minority background in
dierent areas o everyday lie such as looking or work or
nding a house or an apartment to rent or buy including
whether they reported experiences o discrimination to any
organisation;
questionsaboutrespondentsexperiencesofbeinga
victim o crime, including whether they considered their
victimisation happened partly or completely because o
their minority background, and whether they reported
victimisation to the police;
questionsonencounterswithlawenforcement,customs
and border control, and whether respondents considered
they were victims o discriminatory ethnic proling
practices.
Respondents were asked about their experiences o
discrimination and victimisation in the ve years and
12 months prior to the survey.

In each Member State between 500 and 1,500
respondents were interviewed ace-to-ace using a
standardised questionnaire.
A minimum o 500 people were interviewed per ethnic
minority or immigrant group surveyed in a Member State
or example, 500 Roma respondents or 500 respondents
with a Sub-Saharan Arican background. Between one and
three ethnic minority/immigrant groups were surveyed per
Member State.
The survey results draw comparisons between
Member States where the same groups were surveyed or
example, the EU-MIDIS Data in Focus 1 report looks at the
experiences o Roma interviewees in seven Member States.

Everyfourthethnicminorityorimmigrantrespondentinterviewed in EU-MIDIS indicated they had elt
discriminated against on at least two o the ollowing
grounds in the last 12 months: ethnic or immigrant
origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion or belie,
disability,orforotherreasons.
ComparingEU-MIDISandSpecialEurobarometer296
results shows that the majority population in EU Member
States elt discriminated against less oten across a range
o grounds than ethnic minority and immigrant persons
surveyed in EU-MIDIS. The results thereore suggest that
ethnic minority and immigrant groups are generally more
vulnerable to multiple discrimination than the majority
population in the EU.

The principles o equal treatment and non-discriminationlie at the core o democratic societies. At the level o the
European Union these principles are enshrined in primary
law as reected in Article 21 o the Charter o Fundamental
Rights o the European Union. According to this article, any
discrimination based on grounds such as sex, race, colour,
ethnic or social origin, genetic eatures, language, religion
or belie, political or any other opinion, membership o a
national minority, property, birth, disability, age or sexual
orientationshallbeprohibited.Moreover,Article19ofthe
Treaty on the Functioning o the European Union (Part II
Non-DiscriminationandCitizenshipoftheUnion)givesthe
Union the competence to combat discrimination on grounds
o sex, racial or ethnic origin, religion or belie, disability, age
and sexual orientation. At the time o publication (2011),
dierent Directives variously address discrimination across
a range o grounds and in dierent contexts encompassing
employment through to goods and services (see Box 2).
The European Union Agency or Fundamental Rights has
a Multi-Annual Framework that identies nine general
thematic areas or its research activities in the period
2007-2012. One o the nine areas encompassesdiscrimination across a range o grounds including sex,
race or ethnic origin, religion or belie, disability, age or
sexual orientation, and persons belonging to minorities
and specically reers to any combination o these grounds
(multiplediscrimination).Insum,discriminationonmore
thanonegroundishighlightedintheAgencysMulti-Annual
Framework as an area or data collection with respect to
enjoyment o undamental rights in the EU.
ReferencetomultiplediscriminationintheAgencys
work reects the slow but growing recognition o this
phenomenon at the level o European Union law and policy.
For example, recital 14 o the Racial Equality Directive reers
tomultiplediscrimination,andinthepreparatoryworkof
the European Commission or a new Directive prohibiting
discrimination on dierent grounds commonly reerred to
astheHorizontalDirectivereferenceismadetotheneed
to tackle multiple discrimination, or example by dening
itasdiscriminationandbyprovidingeectiveremedies
(which, however, is considered as going beyond the scope
o the directive).1 In addition, the European Commission has
commissioned reports2 and has unded research on multiple
discriminationsuchastheGenderaceprojectunderthe
7th Framework Programme.3
Also, the European Parliament has requently highlighted
the problem o multiple discrimination. In its resolution on
the Stockholm Programme, it stressed that while EU law
and policy makers have adopted an extensive body o law
to combat the multiple discrimination suered by women
rom minority backgrounds, especially Roma women, no
signicantprogresscanbedemonstrated;itthereforecalled
on the EU Member States to review the implementation
o all policies related to the phenomenon o multiple
discrimination.4 The Parliament also stressed that older
women and older people rom ethnic minorities may ace
multiplediscrimination.5

The original Treaty establishing the European Community
(1957) contained a provision prohibiting discrimination
on the ground o sex in the eld o employment. Recent
examples o legislation that have added additional grounds
o discrimination, and have urther developed the groundo discrimination in relation to sex, include:

This Data in Focus report contributes to the development
o knowledge in the EU with respect to the experience o
multiple discrimination, which to date is relatively under-
researched compared with work addressing discrimination
on single grounds.
Disimiti Difeet guds
The evidence described in previous Data in Focus reports
shows that certain minority groups, such as the Roma (Data
in Focus Report 1) and respondents with a sel-identied
Muslim background (Data in Focus Report 2), experience
signicant levels o discrimination in dierent areas o
everyday lie based on their immigrant or ethnic origin,
or their religious background. For some groups, such as
Muslims, it is difcult to distinguish between experiences
o discriminatory treatment on the basis o their ethnicity/
immigrant background and/or their religion as the two are
closely intertwined as a reection o cultural and personal
identity.
The current Data in Focus report explores the issue o
mutie disimiti. The concept recognises the act
that an individual can be discriminated against on more
than one ground in any given situation or time. In other
words, a person does not only have a minority background,
but also a certain age and gender that might add to her or
his vulnerability to discrimination. For example, a woman
with an ethnic minority background might be aected by
discrimination in a dierent way to a man with the same
minority background. Other personal characteristics or
circumstances, such as disability or educational background,
alsoimpactononesexposuretoandexperienceof
discrimination. It is the adding up and/or combination o
dierent grounds o discrimination that orm the substance
ofwhatiscommonlyunderstoodasmultiplediscrimination,
and which has been variously addressed by dierent
authorsandacademicdisciplinesasadditivediscrimination
orcompounddiscrimination,andasintersectional
discrimination.
There has been progressive acknowledgement o the role
thatmultiplediscriminationcanplayinpeopleslivesby
disciplines such as gender studies, and in some branches
o socio-legal research6. In contrast, the law has been
slow to recognise and respond to the concept o multiple
discrimination in practice. The relatively ew cases addressing
discrimination on more than one ground is evidence o
the law lagging behind in this area, and o the limitations
imposed on addressing multiple discrimination through the
applicationofthecomparatorapproachindiscrimination
cases in a number o jurisdictions.7
Although EU-MIDIS was developed with the primary purpose
o looking at discrimination on the single ground o ethnicity
or immigrant background, some general questions were
also developed to capture discrimination across a range
ofgroundsandwithrespecttorespondentspersonal
characteristics. However, the nature o the questionnaire
instrument means that the results cannot denitively show
whether respondents experienced discrimination across a
range o grounds at the same time, or as the intersection
o various grounds that are difcult to distinguish rom
each other. What the results do point to is the existence o
discrimination on more than one ground in a 12-month
period, and on the basis o dierent personal characteristics
that may operate individually or together to exacerbate
experiences o discrimination.
The importance o recognising multiple discrimination lies
with the act that it takes into account the complexity o
discrimination as it is experienced by some people.

discrimination in some o its work to date, or example in its

EU-MIDIS asked respondents two questions about
discrimination on the grounds o disability, religion or belie,
age, sexual orientation, gender, and ethnic or immigrant
origin.

o grounds listed above, is widespread in their country

Thesecondquestionexploredrespondentspersonal

o grounds in the past 12 months (Question A2, see Box 5).
Respondents could indicate whether they had experienced
discrimination in the last 12 months on more than one
ground the results o which can be interpreted as an
indicator o multiple discrimination.
The results to both o these questions are compared in this
report with ndings rom identical questions that were asked
o the majority population in a Special Eurobarometer survey
ondiscrimination(No.296),whichcollecteddatainthesame
year as EU-MIDIS 2008.
Disimiti the ud ethi/immit ii with eset t esdethteistis suh s ede, e dsiemi sttus
The majority o questions in EU-MIDIS asked respondents
about their personal experiences o discrimination
according to their eelings o having been discriminated
against across nine areas o everyday lie on the basis o a
single ground o discrimination ethnic or immigrant origin.
Discrimination was asked about with respect to the ollowing
nine areas:
whenlookingforwork;
atwork;
whenlookingforahouseoranapartmenttorentorbuy;
byhealthcarepersonnel;
bysocialservicepersonnel;
byschoolpersonnel;
atacaf,restaurant,barorclub;
whenenteringorinashop;
whentryingtoopenabankaccountorgetaloan.
The results to these questions are looked at in this report
inrelationtorespondentspersonalcharacteristicssuchas
gender and age. In this way, the ndings can indirectly pointto the potential existence o multiple discrimination; or
example, when ethnic minority women are reporting higher
levels o discrimination than men rom the same minority
group.
The results in relation to the nine areas o discrimination on
thebasisofrespondentsethnicity/immigrantbackground
arealsoexaminedwithrespecttorespondentssocio-
economic position. Three background variables that
were collected in the survey are used to create a measure
ofrespondentssocio-economicpositiontoseeifthe
experience o discrimination diers or persons who are
materially and socially better o in comparison with those
who are socially and economically disadvantaged (see Box 3).
WHaT DID THE SUrvEy aSK?
Box 3
Mesui esdets siemi siti
Background variables such as gender, age and years in
education were collected or all EU-MIDIS interviewees.
In order to create a proxy or socio-economic position, the
ollowing background variables are used in the analysis:
educationinyears;
incomelevelinquartiles;
employmentstatusatthetimeoftheinterview.
The results related to socio-economic position should be
interpreted with caution as the variables used have certain
limitations.
The education variable is collected as the number o years
in education, which poses a problem o interpretation
as it does not always correspond to the highest level o
education attained. It is potentially problematic in the case
o recent arrivals in an EU Member State who might need
to study longer to have their qualications recognised in
their host country. In addition, migrant workers are oten
working in areas that are below their level o qualications
and, as a consequence, have lower incomes than might
be expected given their years o education. At the sametime the income variable is not comparable between most
EU Member States, and can only be used as an indicator
relative to available data at Member State level on average
incomes. For employed respondents, the survey did not
collect data on their occupation, and thereore it is
impossibletodistinguishbetweenthosehavinggood
andbadjobs.

Figure 1 shows that in comparison with the minority groups
questioned in EU-MIDIS, more respondents rom the majority
population, who were interviewed or Special Eurobarometer
296,considereddiscriminationtobewidespreadacross
allsixgroundsaskedabout.Strikingly,62%ofthegeneral
population thought that discrimination on the basis o

o both majority and minority interviewees thought that

When comparing perceptions o whether discrimination
onthebasisofethnicityorimmigrantoriginiswidespread
(Figure 2), there is great variation in the extent to which this
orm o discrimination is identied as a problem between
groups and Member States. For example, whereas in Sweden
perceptions are roughly the same between the majority
and minority groups surveyed, in the case o Poland the
majority population perceives signicantly lower levels o
discrimination against minorities in comparison with Roma
interviewees. These ndings warrant urther exploration at
the Member State level.

they are answering hypothetically in relation to a number o
grounds that typically do not apply to them or example,
when asked about discrimination on the basis o ethnicity
the majority population cannot, in most cases, respond rom

experiences o multiple discrimination between the ethnic
minority and immigrant groups surveyed in EU-MIDIS and
the majority population in the EU-27. In this way, the resultscan oer some preliminary ndings on the extent to which
discrimination on a single ground and on more than one
ground is more prevalent among minority and immigrant
groups in comparison with the majority population.
Although identical questions were asked in EU-MIDIS and
Eurobarometersurvey296,itshouldbenotedthatthe
data collection or EU-MIDIS was mainly carried out in
urban areas while the Eurobarometer surveys are based on
nationwide samples o respondents; thereore the results
have to be cautiously interpreted as reecting the locations
where the two surveys were conducted.

In comparison with most other EU Member States: in

Looking specically at results rom EU-MIDIS, the maingrounds identied by minorities who reported eeling
discriminated against on dierent grounds were
unsurprisinglygiventherespondentsbackgrounds
ethnicandimmigrantorigin(93%)andreligionorbelief
(64%),followedbygender(34%)andage(29%)note
the percentages do not add up to 100 as respondents
could indicate more than one ground o discrimination. It
cannot be determined rom the EU-MIDIS results whether
discrimination on more than one ground was experienced
as dierent incidents over a 12-month period, or whether
discrimination on dierent grounds occurred at the same
time; however, the ndings do indicate that minorities are
particularly vulnerable to discrimination because o their
ethnic minority and immigrant background and because o
other personal characteristics such as religion.
In particular, Muslim respondents indicated that religion was
eitherveryorfairlyimportantintheirlives91%ofNorth
Africansand85%ofTurkishrespondentsindicatedthisto
bethecasewhile90%ofSub-SaharanAfricans,coming
rom a mixture o dierent religious backgrounds, also
indicated that religion was important to them. This suggests
that identity encompassing actors such as ethnicity and
religion can be experienced as intersectional discrimination
by many minority ethnic groups in Europe, meaning that
dierent grounds o discrimination interact and are hard
to distinguish rom each other. This interpretation is useul
to keep in mind when looking to understand high levels
o reported discrimination on multiple grounds by specic
aggregate groups as shown in Figure 5.
EUMIDIS: Bkud hteistis thse wh

Looking specically at the gender and age o respondentsin EU-MIDIS who indicated they had experienced
discrimination on several grounds reveals some notable
results. Namely, on average among those who reported
multiple discrimination, there were slightly more men than
women(respectively53%and47%).Menindicatedthey
experienced discrimination slightly more oten than women
inmostofthegroundstested(seeFigure6)withthe
exception o gender.
AsFigure6showsamongthoseindicatingtheyhad

reported much higher levels o experiencing what they

respect to age, a detailed analysis o the survey data shows
that o those indicating experience o discrimination on

41%werebetween25-39yearsofage.
Together, these results in consideration o age and gender

In addition, the results indicate that respondents who are
more exposed to multiple discrimination tend to come rom
socially disadvantaged backgrounds (see Box 3 concerning
theinterpretationoftheseresults),sinceasmanyas46%ofthem were located in the lowest income quartile recorded
in the survey. And, as a reection o this, unemployed
respondents were particularly exposed to discrimination
on more than one ground in comparison with employed
respondents,with21%oftheunemployedreporting
discrimination on more than one ground compared with
12%ofthosewhowereemployed.Hence,theresultsshow
that two indicators o social disadvantage namely, income
andemploymentstatusarereectedinrespondents
heightened exposure to discrimination across a range o
grounds. However, the analysis o results did not nd that a
low number o years in education is related to heightened
experience o discrimination across dierent grounds anding that is addressed later in the report.
These results indicate that certain sub-groups within the
minority groups surveyed in EU-MIDIS are vulnerable to
discrimination. It is these groups that are in particular need o
targeted policy interventions recognising their experiences
o multiple discrimination with respect to indicators o social
disadvantage, such as employment status and income.

The previous section o this Data in Focus report looked
at the experience o discrimination on more than one
ground. This part ocuses on discrimination, as respondents
perceived it, on the single ground o ethnic/immigrant origin
in nine areas o everyday lie rom looking or work to
rentinganapartmentwithrespecttorespondentspersonal
characteristics such as gender and age. In this way, ndings
rom EU-MIDIS concerning discrimination on the single
ground o ethnic minority or immigrant origin are explored
in relation to heightened exposure to discrimination8 on
the basis o gender and age. Hence, the ndings can be
tentatively explored as proxy indicators with respect to
multiple discrimination.
With regard to the nine areas o everyday lie asked about
in EU-MIDIS (see p. 7) in relation to discrimination on the
single ground o ethnic minority or immigrant background,
the results indicate that overall men experience more
instances o discrimination than women over a 12-month
period. Conversely, among those respondents who indicated
they did not experience discrimination on any o the grounds
asked about in the last 12 months (zero discrimination
experiences) there are more women than men (a dierence
o about ve percentage points) (Figure 7).

Figure 7 reveals a clear pattern: or every increase in the
number o dierent areas where a discriminatory incident
onthebasisofarespondentsethnicminority/immigrant
background occurs, the share o men generally increases
while the proportion o women decreases. Among those
most vulnerable to discrimination, namely those who
reported being discriminated against in two or more areas,
around55%andaboveweremen.Oneofthepossible
explanations or this pattern, which has been reerred to
earlier in the report, is that men are more likely to be seeking
paid employment or to be in paid employment, while
womenaremorelikelytotakeuptheroleofhomemaker.
The role o homemaker means that women are not exposed
to discrimination to the same extent as men in two o the
nine areas asked about looking or work and at work
which, taken together as discrimination in relation to
employment, represented the eld where discrimination was
most oten reported in the survey by respondents. Thereore,
the nding that men are more exposed to discrimination
on the grounds o ethnicity/immigrant origin has to be
interpreted with respect to the impact that gendered roles
can have on exposure to discriminatory treatment. Taking
the two areas o discrimination related to employment
out o the analysis when looking or work and when at
work results in a slight reduction in dierences in reported
discrimination between men and women.
Also, when looking at Figure 7, it needs to be kept in mind
that the number o those who experienced what they
considered to be discrimination on the basis o their ethnic
minority or immigrant background in ve or more areas
isverysmallthatis,only2%oftheEU-MIDISsample
experienced this level o discrimination. In this regard,
the experience o men and women is more similar with
respecttolessfrequentorlessextremeexperiencesof
discrimination in a 12-month period.
When looking at the age o respondents reporting
discrimination on the basis o ethnicity/immigrant origin or
the dierent areas o everyday lie asked about, a pattern
o heightened exposure to discrimination emerges among
younger respondents. Figure 8 shows that younger people,
namelythoseinagecategories16-24and25-34years,
generally experience higher levels o discrimination in
relation to one or two areas. Overall, respondents aged 50
years and over experience the lowest levels o discrimination
on the basis o their ethnicity/immigrant origin; or
example,82%ofthoseaged50yearsandoverexperienced
no discrimination in the last 12 months on the basis o
ethnicity/immigrantorigin,whereas36%ofthoseaged
16-24yearsand34%ofthoseaged25-34yearsexperienced
discrimination.
This pattern with respect to age and decreased exposure
to discrimination in the last 12 months holds true when the
data is looked at with respect to dierent aggregate groups.
Again, this result as with gender is likely to reect the act
that people are less likely to be looking or work or to be in
work as they get older, and thereore are eectively excluded
rom questions relating to discrimination on the basis o
looking or work or being in work. Yet, i a question had
been asked about exposure to discriminatory treatment on
the basis o ethnic minority or immigrant origin during the
course o several years or a lietime, it would have likely been
the case that older respondents would have reported much
higher levels o discrimination.
Notably, the ndings reported in Figure 8 would seem
to present the inverse o the current emphasis on
discriminatory treatment in relation to age, which tends to
focusonolderpeoplesexposuretoagediscriminationin
relation to employment as well as other areas. However, this
current emphasis tends notto look at the intersection o age
with other grounds o discrimination, such as ethnicity or
immigrant origin.

9 FRA (2010) Experience o discrimination, social marginalisation and violence: a comparative study o Muslim and non-Muslim youth in three EU Member States ,Luxembourg: Publications Ofce. The report looks at the experiences o Muslim and non-Muslim youth (aged 12-18 years) in France, Spain and the UK in
relation to experiences o social marginalisation and racism, and in relation to a sense o social isolation and support or and involvement in violence; see:
ra.europa.eu/raWebsite/attachments/Pub-racism-marginalisation_en.pd.
10 See FRA EU-MIDIS Data in Focus report on Rights Awareness and Equality Bodies (2010).
In this regard, as might be expected, the EU-MIDIS ndings
in consideration o older respondents do indicate that they
reportageasagroundofdiscriminationmorethanyounger
respondents. Namely: among the respondents who said
they were discriminated against in the past 12 months on
one or more grounds, age was identied as a ground or
discriminationby29%ofrespondentswhowere50years
oldorolder,comparedwith8%ofrespondentsinthe25-34agegroup(11%of16-24yearoldsand12%of35-49year
olds who had been discriminated against mentioned age
as a ground or discrimination). However, the results rom
EU-MIDIS show that younger ethnic minority and immigrant
groups are reporting higher levels o discriminatory
treatment on the basis o ethnicity/immigrant origin. These
general ndings warrant closer inspection with respect to
the relationship between discrimination on the ground o
ethnicity/immigrant origin and discrimination in relation
to age. Heightened exposure to discriminatory treatment
on the basis o ethnicity/immigrant origin among young or
younger second and third generation immigrants, or among
established minority groups, is a worrying sign with respect
tothesegroupslong-termprospectsforsocialintegration
into mainstream society.9
In addition to looking at discrimination on the ground
o ethnicity/immigrant origin in relation to gender and
age,indicatorsmeasuringrespondentssocio-economic
position can be looked at to better understand vulnerability
to discrimination on the ground o ethnicity/immigrant
origin.Inthisregard,thesurveyresultsshowthat57%
o respondents who experienced discrimination in ve
or more areas o everyday lie come rom what can be
described as a low income household (lowest income
quartile in their country). Furthermore, o the respondents
who did not experience discrimination on the grounds
ofethnicorimmigrantorigin,only9%wereunemployed
incomparisonwith59%ofthoseinpaidemployment.
Thereore, and supporting the earlier analysis with respect
to socio-economic background and exposure to multiple
discrimination, it can be concluded that economicvulnerability goes hand in hand with experience o
discrimination on the basis o ethnic/immigrant origin.
In contrast, ethnic minority and immigrant respondents with
more years o education tend to be over-represented among
those who said that they were discriminated against in one
or more areas o everyday lie. This nding would appear to
be counter-intuitive in relation to the act that unemployed
respondents and those on lower incomes are also reporting
high levels o discrimination. A possible explanation could lie
with the act that respondents with more years o education
are more likely to be integrated into mainstream society:
or example, through employment in occupations that are
typically held by the majority population and thereore
they are more exposed to discriminatory experiences than
those who are socially isolated rom the majority population.
Alternatively, it could be the case that more educated people
are more likely to be aware o their rights with respect to
non-discrimination,10 and also that ethnic minorities and
immigrants are under-employed as regards the qualications
they have and the jobs they are in. However as noted in
Box 3 these explanations cannot be tested urther, given
that the survey did not ask respondents about the kind o job
they had.

recent immigrants who may have limited knowledge
o the respective systems in a country or lodging
discrimination complaints.
Aspeoplewithanethnicminorityorimmigrant

Such data collection needs to capture discrimination
