Harmonised database of indicators

Identification of key migration policy indicators and weighting/aggregation These tests will also contribute to the identification of the most reliable key indicators for measuring as many relevant migration policies as possible. Key indicators are those that capture the policies with the most significant effects on migration dynamics. The results of this project’s work packages on drivers, infrastructures, flows and policies will indicate the degree of statistical significance and certainty between these policies and migration drivers, infrastructures and flows. These indicators can then be aggregated together into a conceptually and statistically reliable index to measure aggregate policies (e.g. the relative openness or restrictiveness of all immigration channels or the relative inclusive or exclusionary nature of integration policies in all key areas of life).
