- [Funding](https://irregular-migration.net/funding/) - Funding CREATION OF THE DATABASE The database on irregular migration was launched in February 2009. It was created in the context of the CLANDESTINO project “Undocumented Migration: Counting the Uncountable ? Data and Trends across Europe”. The project was funded for the period September 2007 – August 2009 Sixth Framework Programme (Directorate General for Research of the European Commission)
- [European Union](https://irregular-migration.net/european-union/) - European Union Since 2007, the European Union consists of 27 member states which face very different challenges with regard to irregular migration. Securing the borders and preventing irregular migration is perceived increasingly as a European policy issue. Visa policy, border protection, return enforcement and measures to reduce incentives for irregular migration are increasingly Europeanized. However,
- [United Kingdom](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/united-kingdom/) - United Kingdom For decades, migration flows were largely dominated by immigrants from former colonies in Asia, Africa and the Carribean, which led to large settled minorities. From the late 1990s, immigration became increasingly diverse. Migration became a highly contentious issue on the political and public agenda, concerning both regular and irregular immigrants. While border enforcement
- [Spain](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/spain/) - Spain Spain has experienced a fast transition from an emigration to an immigration country since the second half of the 1980s. Today, the size of its foreign-born population is comparable to older immigration countries. Since Spain has repeatedly regularized irregular migrants, irregularity has been a phase in the life of most current regular immigrants in Spain. Border policies have become increasingly restrictive, toward both
- [Slovakia](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/slovakia/) - European Union Of all European countries, Slovakia has the lowest share of foreign residents among its population. Very little attention is paid to migration issues in Slovakia, and irregular migration is no exception. Policies are largely shaped by Slovakia?s commitments to its accession to the EU and the Schengen zone. Irregular migrants mainly enter the country from Ukraine
- [Poland](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/poland/) - Poland During the transformation of the Polish economy, millions of Polish citizens migrated to Western Europe for regular and irregular work, often on a temporary basis. In comparison to other EU countries, Poland is still not considered an attractive destination country for regular and irregular immigrants. Apart from small, settled, irregular resident populations from Vietnam
- [Netherlands](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/netherlands/) - Netherlands In the post-war period, Dutch immigration was characterized by inflows from former colonies in Asia and Latin America, and by labour recruitment, mainly ftrom Turkey and Morocco. In the mid-1980s, the Netherlands adopted relatively open and inclusive integration policies, but recently, political parties have been able to win votes by pointing to dissatisfying results. This has also had consequences for policies regarding irregular
- [Italy](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/italy/) - Italy Since the 1980s, Italy has become an immigration country, after almost a century of emigration history. Initially, many immigrants were attracted by the relatively large shadow economy. While the establishment of regular migration regulations has taken time, five amnesties have provided opportunities for the regularization of irregular migrants. More than half of all regular residents currently in
- [Hungary](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/hungary/) - Hungary Irregular migration rarely appears on Hungary’s political agenda, and even regular migration is not really an issue. Migration and integration policies are largely shaped by EU initiatives. Irregular transit migration is of concern for enforcement authorities, although its relevance has decreased since neighbouring Romania joined the EU. Chinese and Vietnamese persons are probably the most numerous among irregular residents. Short Information
- [Greece](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/greece/) - Greece In Greece, restrictive, complicated and lengthy bureaucratic procedures for legal immigration and the prolongation of residence permits indirectly encourage irregular entry and stay. Due to the substantial size of the largely uncontrolled shadow economy, irregular work is easier to find than regular work, even for regular migrants. Policy responses include ? largely ineffective ?
- [Germany](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/germany/) - Germany Germany has a large share of immigrants, particularly from Turkey, the successor states of Yugoslavia, and Eastern Europe. Regular migration is strictly monitored, and internal controls limit the space for the shadow economy and irregular migrant work. While regularization programmes have never been implemented, authorities officially tolerate those irregular migrants who cannot be deported for
- [France](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/france/) - France In France, a substantial part of the population was born outside the country or raised by foreign-born parents. Many of them are French speaking and originate from former colonies in Africa. Irregular migration has attracted public attention frequently in the past decades, for example in connection with ?sans-papiers? seizing churches and the camp Sangatte that
- [Czech Republic](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/czech-republic/) - Czech Republic Over the last few years, the Czech Republic has experienced net immigration of foreign nationals. The country is mainly a destination for temporary legal and irregular labour migrants from post-communist countries (Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine) as well as from Vietnam and China. Irregular migrant activities have recently become important features of the Czech economy and society,
- [Austria](https://irregular-migration.net/countries/austria/) - Austria Irregular migration as a specific policy concern is a relatively recent phenomenon. All available evidence suggests that the irregular resident population has declined considerably over the past several years as a consequence of EU enlargement and a drop in irregular entries and asylum related migration from non-EU countries. Withdrawal and loss of status on other
