DignityFIRM goes beyond the state of the art by presenting a holistic investigation of regulatory infrastructures governing conditions and vulnerabilities of irregular migrants. We expect to generate insights into the functioning of policies on EU free movement of persons, regular migration, on sanctioning exploitative employers and on how these interact with policies on the EU Pillar of Social Rights, the EU Farm2Fork Strategy and EU Corporate Social Responsibility and human rights.(M15, M36)
