Migration,
Poverty &
Social Exclusion

EU Poverty Watch consultancy

A multidisciplinary enquiry into how migration status shapes exposure to poverty and access to protection from it.

Eufonía.02

The brief as we understand it

Not migration policy
in the abstract.

The report must show how migration status interacts with socio-economic systems to produce, deepen or prevent poverty.

≈20 national Poverty WatchesOne comparative European advocacy report

The enquiry

01Work & incomePrecarity, in-work poverty and employer-dependent residence.
02Protection & servicesHousing, health, education, social protection and income support.
03Rights & non-take-upLegal, administrative, economic and discriminatory barriers.

What Poverty Watch requires

National knowledgeContext remains visible.
Lived expertisePeople experiencing poverty are knowledge-holders.
Advocacy utilityEvidence becomes demands.

A civil-society evidence product with a political purpose.

Eufonía.03

What makes this team different

Two questions applied
to the same evidence.

MA
Systems
+ civil society

Which institutional rules, relationships and distributions of power reproduce exclusion, and what can be changed?

Mahmoud · structures and organisational response
NA
Rights
+ legal status

What protections and entitlements exist, who can exercise them, and how do migration status, gender and discrimination condition effective access?

Noor · international law, gender and rights
STATUS-SENSITIVE COMPARATIVE METHODVariables → pathways → mechanisms → recommendations

One matrix connects structures, rights and lived narratives across national contexts.

Structural and legal analysis

A right on paper is not yet
a right in practice.

Effective-rights pathway

02ScopeWhich statuses are covered?
03ConditionsResidence, work, contribution, proof.
04AccessCost, language, digital barriers, delay.

Lived experience + narrative analysis

Not a quotation layer.
A causal pathway.

Each testimony is interpreted in context, then linked to the relevant rule, institution and policy demand.

01VoiceWhose account is recognised or absent?
02EncounterWhat happened, where and in what sequence?
03MechanismWhich rule, condition or discretion produced it?
04ConsequenceHow did poverty, fear or exclusion accumulate?

Comparative synthesis + advocacy

Compare mechanisms.
Name the route to change.

National realities remain visible while recurring structural mechanisms become actionable European findings.
