Abstract
The article focused on answering the following research questions: 1) What are the perceptions of migrant workers in the informal sector towards social discrimination against them when coming to public space? 2) Are there any differences of opinions between migrant groups working in the informal sector about this issue by gender, age and type of migration? The quantitative data collected by survey questionnaires among migrant workers in the informal sector were used for analysis with the differences of opinions across groups classified by gender, age and type of migration. While the findings indicated a neutral viewpoint among those, it also highlighted differences across groups by gender and type of migration.
