Migrant´s values adapt to the destination country's

Preferences for economic redistribution in a country relate to how individualistic the values are in the population. The figure shows that migrants’ attitudes to redistribution are gradually becoming more linked to the values in the destination country than to those in the country of origin.

The figure shows the association between individualism and preferences for redistribution for the entire population (dashed purple line) compared with the developement of this association for migrants over time in the destination country. Newly arrived migrants are more influenced by the culture of their country of origin (turquoise points) but are integrated within their lifetime into the culture of the destination country (orange points). The vertical lines show the margin of error for the association (confidence interval 95%).
