A UN News report highlights ongoing public support for refugees and examines how empathy varies across age groups. It notes that protection for refugees has been established in international law for more than seven decades, but asks what levels of backing persist today for people fleeing conflict and persecution. The report points to a finding that many people continue to stand by refugees. It also states that Gen Z demonstrates the highest levels of empathy compared with older age groups. The coverage frames these results as an indicator of public attitudes toward refugee protection and the people seeking safety. While the available summaries do not provide detailed methodology, sample size, or exact figures, they align on the core message: support for refugees remains present, and younger respondents—particularly Gen Z—show the greatest empathy. The report’s focus is on societal attitudes and how they may influence the environment in which refugee policies are implemented and refugee protection is discussed.
