Database on Irregular Migration

The database on Irregular Migration provides an inventory and a critical assessment of data and estimates in the European Union and selected member states. A detailed explanation and evaluation of the methodology adopted in each estimation is provided. The data and estimates that were used refer to the period 2001-2008. The Database on Irregular Migration is hosted by the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI) and was created in the context of the research project CLANDESTINO. ELIAMEP is the coordinator of the CLANDESTINO research consortium. For more information see also: CLANDESTINO web site.

The criteria under which the estimates of irregular migration are classified in the CLANDESTINO database are exemplified in the classification report.
