Key finding 3: While UK government proposals align with the overall preference for a reduction in immigration levels, specific immigration policy proposals do not align well with public preferences.

Key finding 2: Immigration for work and employers’ ability to recruit from abroad receives some of the strongest public support.

Key finding 1: Scottish public attitudes to immigration have cooled considerably over the last 3 years, most notably in the period from 2023 to 2024. As views on immigration change, they remain complex and often contradictory.
