About
How individuals’ migration decisions change over time and what mobility policies can do about it.
Key Findings
- Non-EU nationals are categorised and framed in a hierarchical way in migration policies covering labour, family reunification, student mobility, investment-related mobility, tourism and free movement within the Schengen area.
- This hierarchy determines the rights of non-EU nationals as well as the degree of institutional control that they are subjected to upon entry and during residence and/or circulation within the EU.
- There are critical qualitative, quantitative and temporal gaps in the implementation of these policies.
