What is the VLM?
The VLM is intended as a research tool for scholars using individual-level data in quantitative or qualitative studies in the field of international migration. It will provide the infrastructure for the dissemination of newly available data archives on international migration.
Besides data sets and links to online statistics, the VLM will help sharing up-to-date information of methodologies used in collecting migration data and the efforts to harmonise disparate data sources.
