Project B04 (2026-29)
Immigrant Social Rights—How Inclusion and Exclusion Shape Migrants’ Life Chances and Lived Experiences
B04 explores the implementation and effects of immigrant social rights (ISR) policies. It first re-examines the “welfare magnet” hypothesis, assessing how social protection in origin and destination countries shape migration. Next, through social media text analyses and case studies, the project investigates how immigrants navigate systems of social protection. Third, it examines how de jure and de facto ISR influence socioeconomic outcomes. Finally, B04 continues to extend the Immigrant Social Rights (ImmigSR) dataset, the first to comparatively assess ISR for a global sample of countries.
