Methodology

The project's ethical guidelines are available here
UWT Ethical guidelines

Review of existing data
Each partner has prepared a country report summarising the framework for migration and reviewing existing literature on undocumented migrant workers.

Stakeholder interviews
Interviews with around 70 experts, including social partners and migrant community organisations, will provide an overview of migration policies and their impacts in each country, as well as the European and international context.

Migrant worker interviews
In-depth interviews will be held with 210 migrant workers who are, or have been, undocumented (30 in each country). These will include a range of sectors, including hospitality, construction and domestic work.

Undocumented migration estimates
It is very difficult to identify reliable data on undocumented migration. The project will collate existing sources of data in each partner country and, where data is available, provide more reliable estimates using statistical techniques.
