Education key in shaping attitudes towards immigration's economic impact.
The article explores why people have different opinions about how immigrants affect the economy. The researchers looked at data from 61 countries and found that factors like age, trust, education, and income influence how people view the economic impact of immigrants more than things like economic growth or the number of immigrants in a country. They also discovered that educated individuals tend to have more positive views on immigration's economic effects, while less educated people tend to see it more negatively. Overall, the study suggests that education plays a significant role in how people perceive the economic contributions of immigrants, especially in wealthier countries.
