What is the real state of migration? Prof. Dr. Hein de Haas conducted more than 30 years of research and, in the lecture and book, How Migration Really Works, dispenses with both left-wing and right-wing migration myths. Are the horror stories about human smugglers and the harsh conditions in the application center Ter Apel true? Does migration cost the state treasury billions of euros or is it not all that bad? And how many migrants are there actually and where do they come from?
Prof. Dr. Hein de Haas is Professor of Sociology at the University of Amsterdam and author of the book Hoe migratie echt werkt (2023, Spectrum). He has been a leading international expert on migration for many years. He worked as a researcher and, to date, still serves as director for the International Migration Institute (IMI) at the University of Oxford, which he co-founded. He is also Endowed Professor of Migration and Development at Maastricht University.
