Imagine trying to fix a leaky pipe by just pushing the water back, but it never actually stops leaking. This research looks at why current deportation rules aren't working and how they affect people's lives. It searches for better, more dignified ways to handle paperwork issues for migrants instead of just sending them away.
Current migration return policies are often ineffective and lead to human rights violations. There is a lack of evidence-based alternatives to handle administrative irregularity without relying on forced returns.
A database of public opinion surveys and a detailed analysis of 6 alternative migration policies.
If you are a law firm dealing with complex deportation cases — this project developed an analysis of 6 alternative policies that provide legal pathways for clients. This helps in identifying viable defense strategies based on existing EU and UK precedents.
If you are a city agency dealing with the social integration of irregular migrants — this project developed a database of public opinion and policy outcomes. This allows for better planning of local support services based on actual societal trends.
If you are a tech company dealing with government data visualization — this project developed a comprehensive database of public opinion surveys and regression analysis. This provides a blueprint for building tools that track how media and trust influence migration policy.
Based on available project data, there is no pricing information as this is a research grant project funded by the EU.
Based on available project data, the project focuses on policy analysis and ethnographic fieldwork rather than an industrial product, so industrial scaling is not applicable.
Based on available project data, no patents are mentioned; the outputs are research reports and databases.
The project examines the Returns Directive and identifies 6 alternative policies to suggest more effective ways of handling administrative irregularity.
The project runs from 2023-10-01 to 2027-02-28.
