Freedom of Movement & Migration

This dimension measures how freely you think people should be able to move: entering a country, leaving it, working or settling elsewhere. It also covers how the state should treat newcomers: requirements, quotas, asylum and deportations.

Toward more freedom

Open or nearly open borders, minimal paperwork and the freedom to work wherever you want.

Toward more control

Strict border control, quotas, demanding requirements and priority for citizens.

Debates it touches

Immigration quotas and work visas
Right to asylum and refuge
Regularizing undocumented people
