The following section provides a general overview of undocumented migrants' fulfillment of basic social rights in countries throughout Europe as well as in the United States. It should be noted that in many of the countries listed below, undocumented migrants do not even have the minimum of protection of their basic social rights. This is due to several factors, including laws which do not include undocumented migrants as beneficiaries of certain public services or the inability of undocumented migrants to access certain services even when they are stipulated in the legislation. The present overview is thus meant to give an overview of the fulfillment of basic social rights in theory as well as in practice.

Updating of information

Please note that where PICUM does not have any information concerning a particular basic social right in a particular country, there is an indication of "No information provided". In addition, supplementary information can always be added to the various categories in each country. If you have any information concerning a particular basic social right, feel free to send it to the PICUM secretariat (michele.levoy@picum.org).  PICUM will then put it on the website to ensure that the information provided is as complete and up-to-date as possible.
