10 Countries With Low Level of Tolerance For Immigrants
# Jordan
Tolerance: 35.4
Another refugee haven, Jordan became a labor recipient of semi-skilled workers from Egypt, Syria and other Middle East and Asian countries. There are several Palestinian immigrants in Jordan and they play a key role in economy, polity and society.
The unresolved Palestinian question and the constantly rising number of Palestinian immigrants have posed a challenge to Jordanians. Therefore the country has deprived these immigrants with their personal rights making it one among the least tolerant countries.
# Israel
Tolerance Score: 34.8
Another Asian nation that ranks 6th in the tolerance scale—Israel with a population of 8 million people and relatively high GDP per capita is lowest performing nation in terms of tolerance towards immigrants.
The native Israelis are known to have great ‘foundations of well being’, which means they have great access to basic knowledge, health and wellness. However this is not the plight of the immigrants in the region. Most of the immigrants in the region are from Africa whose plight is almost always worse.
