5. The Research Group SOM surveyed in October 2002 some 3,700 Swedes. Amongst others, they asked also
whether Swedes considered it a good idea to reduce the number of refugees admitted to Sweden. According
to the survey, some 50 per cent said yes, while 25 per cent said no, and the remaining 25 per cent had no
opinion. The outcomes of the survey are, according to SOM, linked to a more pessimistic view of the
country’s future. UNHCR News, AP World News, 10 June 2003.
