Sarah Spencer explains why cities in Europe, like their North American counterparts, are increasingly exploring ways to enable irregular (‘undocumented’) migrants to have access to essential services, and tells us some of the creative ways that they have found to do so
Why are cities taking this step and increasingly wanting to learn from others how to navigate this difficult policy arena?. It is rarely acknowledged by European governments that they have themselves recognized a need to permit irregular migrants a minimal level of inclusion in essential services
Mapping national provisions on health care for instance reveals that all EU states allow access to emergency care and a minority of states allow irregular migrants to have access to some primary and secondary health services
