I-CLAIM investigates the living and working conditions of migrant households with precarious legal status in Europe.

The project combines the need to advance scientific knowledge and theorisation on migrants’ irregularity, its drivers and consequences and the urgency to develop policy options and public interventions aimed at improving the conditions of undocumented migrants and their families.

Our research focuses on the situation in Finland, Germany, Italy, Poland, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. We work closely with a wide range of European and national stakeholders, including labour unions and migrant rights organizations, to develop recommendations on how to improve the living and working conditions of migrants with precarious legal status in Europe.

A recent article in The Guardian describes the difficult and sometimes unsafe conditions experienced by food-delivery workers, including long hours, low and unstable pay, and instances of harassment from customers. It also refers to the new research done by our team at the University of Birmingham, which documents the exploitation of migrant workers in delivery and domestic work.

We are pleased to share the release of the article that presents findings from a large-scale discourse analysis that examines how ‘irregular migration’ and the figure of the ‘irregular migrant’ are constructed across political and media discourse.
