Illegally resident third-country nationals in Germany: Policy approaches, profile and social situation ,
The study provides a detailed stocktake of what is currently known on the group of topics related to "illegal residence" in Germany. It deals with the question of "how" to deal with third-state nationals who are illegally resident in Germany, whilst also not neglecting the question of "why".
The narrative concentrates on the legal framework and the State’s approach towards this group of individuals. Additionally, it deals with the available data, the social and economic situation of persons who are illegally resident, as well as the economic impact of illegal migration.
Additionally, the study contains an annex which lists both authorities and institutions, as well as associations, NGOs and networks, whose work (also) relates to people with no residence status.
The study came about as a German contribution within the European Migration network (EMN).
Annette Sinn, Dr. Axel Kreienbrink, Hans Dietrich von Loeffelholz with the collaboration from Michael Wolf
