Switzerland: new findings on Geneva 2018 regularisation
In a new study released this February on the impact of the 2018 Geneva regularisation on people’s lives, the University of Geneva found that the regularisation has a positive impact on the mental and physical health of migrants, by reducing stress factors and improving living conditions. However, the work situation remains challenging for those who have been regularised, with low hourly wages and difficulties in finding employment that matches their skills. The study also finds that regularisation allows children to develop their potential in terms of education and training.
Spain: parliament to debate regularisation proposal
On 22 February, activists of the Spanish RegularizaciónYa platform presented a citizens’ initiative for a country-wide regularisation in the federal parliament. Since 2021, RegularizaciónYa has been campaigning to regularise hundreds of thousands of people living undocumented in the country. After gathering more than 700.000 signatures - the fifth most successful of this kind in the country - the Spanish Congress admitted the proposal, which will be debated in the coming weeks.
