DEMIG-QuantMig Migration Policy Database

The DEMIG-QuantMig Migration Policy Database tracks more than 7'600 migration policy changes enacted by 31 European (EU and non-EU) countries for the period 1990 to 2020. This database extendeds and updates the DEMIG POLICY database (https://www.migrationinstitute.org/data/demig-data/demig-policy) and follows the same methodology. The policy measures are coded according to the policy area and migrant group targeted, as well as the change in restrictiveness they introduce in the existing legal system. The database allows for both quantitative and qualitative research on the long-term evolution and effectiveness of migration policies
