Country and Respondents

: Based on a survey of more than 27,000 people, conducted between Dec. 2015 and April 2016, the Refugee Welcome Index released Thursday ranks countries on a scale of zero to 100, with zero meaning respondents would refuse refugees entering their country and 100 meaning they would accept them in their neighbourhood or home, according to CTV. China topped the rankings as the most accepting country followed by Germany and the U.K. . The least support for more government action on refugees came from Russia , Thailand and India . The global survey found that 80 per cent of people would accept refugees in their country while one in 10 respondents would go a step further and take them in to their homes. The human rights group commissioned Globe Scan strategy consultancy to find out people willingness to allow refugees to live in their homes, neighbourhoods, towns and countries. Amnesty Secretary General, Salil Shetty, said the organization was surprised by the global support for helping refugees. They want to do what they can to help, not turn their backs, he said in a statement. We did not expect to see such strong levels of solidarity with refugees, but the results reflect the inspiring human compassion people feel to those fleeing war. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
