Heritage?
Social class?
But I think maybe is you edit out the typos and actually explain the reason why you need this research, people will answer more easily. Otherwise it comes across as some kind of immigration police stats.

you need to give a decent reason for asking those questions luv, your coming across a tad offensive and i highly doubt you'll get any answers that way! if your really asking for a project ry a different approach, if your genuinely peeved at the amount of people moving to this this country then just say... |

I agree.
If this is for a legitimate project, first introduce it to us, what your hypothesis is, and what you are trying to accomplish with your study.
(get our buy in)
Then ask us for help by participating in your survey.
If it isn't a legitimate project, then you can get all the information you need by sitting next to a window and pulling back the curtain every 5 minutes to make observations.

| | Re: Why did you leave and come here? [American, Canada, U.K only] AOK...we'll play along. My wife and I are coming to Switzerland in the next couple months from the US. What is your reason for leaving your country and coming to Switzerland? It is an opportunity for my wife to gain international work experience which is important for the advancement of her career. The offer allows us to live in one of the most beautiful countries in Europe and to travel throughout the region. Your Age: I am 46 and my wife is 31. Country: US Heritage: I am third generation American with European ancestry (Italian & Czech). My wife is fourth generation American with European ancestry (Italian and Polish). Social Class: In the US, we would be considered upper middle class based on income. As an accountant, I would say my social class is awkward. Thanks for letting us use this as an opportunity to introduce ourselves.
