## Resource

Public opinion in Sweden is increasingly at odds with the government's restrictive immigration policies, a new survey has found. The study, commissioned by non-profit organisation Globeknot and carried out by Novus, found that 81 per cent of respondents thought that foreigners who follow the law and support themselves should be allowed to stay in Sweden. The Local's Richard Orange caught up with Globeknot's Andreas Bergh , who is also Associate Professor of Economics at Lund University, to find out more about the survey.
