Abstract
Using information from the world values survey wave 6, containing information from 78,743 respondents in 53 countries, we examine the factors which influence respondents’ answers to the question: “when jobs are scarce, should employers give priority to people of the country of origin rather than immigrants?” Taking into account a number of factors, including the economic, socio-demographic, political and individual levels, we find that all of these factors influence respondents’ preference for this form of discrimination.
