Migrant access to social security and healthcare : policies and practice

The overall objective of the study is to map the policies and administrative practices that shape third-country nationals’ access to social security, including healthcare. There is substantial variation in how third-country nationals experience the social security system in EU Member States, as complex administrative rules and practices related to nationality, periods of employment, contributions, residency or transferability shape the pattern of take up of social security, including healthcare among migrant groups.
