RegMig database: Characterizing Regularization Programs in OECD Countries

Resumen

Este artículo recopila y analiza ocho décadas de programas de regularización para inmigrantes indocumentados en los países de la OCDE utilizando una nueva base de datos, RegMig, que documenta de manera sistemática las características clave de estos programas de políticas públicas. RegMig identifica 159 programas implementados entre 1945 y 2024, que han beneficiado al menos a 17,93 millones de migrantes indocumentados. El artículo contribuye a la literatura al ofrecer la primera visión general integral y comparativa sobre el diseño, el alcance y la evolución de los programas de regularización en los países de la OCDE. Un caso de estudio centrado en España ilustra, además, la trayectoria histórica y las dinámicas políticas que subyacen a los esfuerzos de regularización.
