MIGPOL data in academic research
On this page you will find links to ongoing work and upcoming original contributions by the MIGPOL team itself. The page also contains a compilation of recent academic publications that use the data generated by us and our partner projects.

The project “Protecting Irregular Migrants in Europe” (PRIME) uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to study how national institutions shape the conditions of irregular migrants across Europe. The MIGPOL team contributes to PRIME by generating indicators of policy responses to irregular migration in terms of social and economic rights. The dataset will be added to MIGPOL in 2025.
The research program “Aging migrants, labor market transition and the welfare state” (IMLABX) is designed to study transitions between working life and welfare support of older migrants. The MIGPOL team supports the program by providing quality assurance for a new database on welfare systems in countries with high rates of emigration. The dataset will be integrated into MIGPOL during the fall of 2024.
The project “Every Immigrant is an Emigrant” (IMISEM) investigates migration regulations from a systematic policy perspective. It comprises exit, entry, diaspora, integration and citizenship policies for both immigrants and emigrants. It considers a selection of cases from Asia, Europe, Latin America and the Caribbean. IMISEM Data is currently updated in cooperation with the MIGPOL team. Version 2 will be available in 2025.
