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.
