Beschreibung
Undocumented migrants gain increasing attention in the EU as a vulnerable group exposed to high health risks. From the viewpoint of migration policy undocumented migration is a most unwanted way of population movement. Nevertheless, it is part of a European present, fuelled by black labour markets and the recent economic crisis, with an estimated share of 7-13 % of the foreign population residing in the EU in 2008. While all EU member states ratified the human right to health care, heterogeneous national public health policies open up different frameworks for health care provision which in many cases severely restrict entitlements for UDM to access health care. Accordingly, practice models how to ensure the human right to health follow different logics. The book “Health Care in NowHereLand” provides the first compilation of policies and regulations in EU 27 and Switzerland along with a database compiling examples for related practices, and gives insights into “life stories” of undocumented migrants in their struggle to get access to fundamental rights.
