Imagine trying to fit the same puzzle piece into eight different puzzles; it won't work because every puzzle has a different shape. This work looks at how different European countries have different rules for jobs and welfare that change how undocumented migrants live and work. By understanding these local differences, the goal is to create rules that actually work for both the people arriving and the local communities.
One-size-fits-all migration policies often fail because they ignore the specific legal and labor market differences between European countries. This leads to ineffective policy-making and increased vulnerability for irregular migrants.
A theoretical framework paper (D1.1) and the initial design for a 'PRIME-Hub' for knowledge exchange.
If you are a staffing agency dealing with complex labor laws across 7 countries — this project developed a comparative analysis of labor market regulations that helps identify where legal gaps create risks for employers and workers.
If you are a law firm dealing with inconsistent migrant rights across the EU — this project developed a structured policy analysis that clarifies how national institutions shape the actual practice of law for irregular migrants.
If you are a consultancy dealing with failing one-size-fits-all migration policies — this project developed context-sensitive strategy tools that allow for more effective national-level policymaking based on local institutional needs.
Based on available project data, no pricing or commercial cost is mentioned as this is an EU-funded research project.
Based on available project data, this is a research project focused on policy analysis and surveys rather than a scalable industrial product.
Based on available project data, there are no mentions of patents; the output is focused on a theoretical framework and a knowledge hub.
The project analyzes how legal and welfare institutions shape the rights of irregular migrants to propose more effective, context-sensitive policy tools.
The project period runs from 2023-04-01 to 2026-03-31.
The consortium is purely academic, consisting of 8 partners from 7 countries, all of which are universities or research-oriented organizations. There is a 0% industry ratio, meaning the project is driven by scientific inquiry rather than commercial application, led by the European University Institute.
