The 2022 survey findings do not show any progress. Compared to 2016, respondents mention higher levels of racial discrimination in all areas of life.
Overall, the 12-month prevalence of racial discrimination has risen from 24% to 34%. It has increased the most when searching for accommodation, looking for a job, at work and in education. For example, the 12-month prevalence of discrimination in the housing market has risen from 6% in 2016 to 28% in 2022.
There has been no progress when it comes to racist harassment or violence. As in 2016, 30% of respondents say they experienced racist harassment and 4% a racist attack in the five years before the survey.
Reporting of discrimination, harassment and violence remains extremely low. Most people still do not report discrimination to any official body.
The police stop less people of African descent, but over half of them still perceive their last stop as racial profiling. Covid-19 measures might have impacted the frequency of police stops.
