About the VLM

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.
