Research Programme
MIGRATION.
According to most reputable studies, migrants contribute greatly to economic growth and social development. Yet migration continues to be highly a politicised and divisive topic in Europe. There has been little systematic effort by policy makers to engage in the technical detail of migration policy, to address both the needs of migrants and the concerns of citizens. The 89 Initiative Migration programmes seek to fill this gap.
This programme seeks to address the effect of COVID-19 on migrant housing access across Europe. It examines the implementation of housing policies for asylum seekers and refugees, and investigates how national housing policies for migrants changed due to the pandemic.
