PDFMapping social cohesion 2009: the Scanlon Foundation surveys

01 February 2010This report, the second round of a major longitudinal survey on social cohesion in Australia, provides insights into community attitudes to immigration, multiculturalism and social cohesion, based on findings from national and local surveys.

In contrast to the previous Mapping Social Cohesion report, which was conducted after a period of sustained growth, this second survey was administered at a time of greater economic uncertainty. However, the survey does not indicate a shift in attitudes to immigration.
