The Equal Opportunities Commission has released the findings of a study “Thematic Household Survey on Racial Acceptance” conducted by the Census and Statistics Department (C&SD) on behalf of the EOC. It involves a face-to-face survey of 10,022 households and it is the first time that a survey of this size and coverage has been undertaken to gauge the community’s level of acceptance of racial diversities under different areas of life, such as employment, education and provision of goods, services and facilities.
