EMN Inform: Practical Measures to Reduce Irregular Migration ,
The EMN Study on Practical Measures to Reduce Irregular Migration provides an overview of existing approaches, mechanisms and measures to reduce irregular migration to the EU and Norway.
It is structured according to measures taken prior to a migrant's entry in the EU (preentry); on entry (i.e. at the border), during stay (i.e. to reduce overstay and irregular employment) and in providing pathways out of irregularity.
The Study identifies practical measures that have proved effective and proportionate in addressing the issue of irregular migration within the overall EU migration policy framework and thus serves to inform policymakers’ understanding of possible ways forward in reducing irregular migration. Statistics on irregular migration populations can demonstrate the effectiveness of policies and practices and give some indication of the scale and scope of the issue.
