Abstract

This Handbook demonstrates that migrant regularisation is not an exceptional measure but a core policy tool of migration governance. It examines policy designs, actors, and implementation challenges, highlighting impacts on labour markets, rights and social cohesion. Drawing on evidence from Europe and other world regions, it equips policymakers with practical options to address the presence of irregular migrants effectively and sustainably.
