Register data sources on migrant stocks
Description (eng)
Key points
• Analysing irregular migrant stocks using register or other administrative data can prove
challenging given the usually undocumented nature of the phenomenon; yet, some recent
efforts highlight the potential of register data.
• The German Central Register of Foreigners (AZR) provides longitudinal data on non-
Germans staying or having previously stayed in the country, including subsets of irregularly
staying migrants, allowing for in-depth analyses of various research questions.
• Throughout, the chapter provides real-life examples of how register data has been used in
irregular migration research across different countries.
