Abstract

Ensuring a basic social infrastructure, encompassing welfare, healthcare, education, housing, and employment, is crucial for upholding human rights. In the context of migration, access to social infrastructures is tied to national migration and residence regulations. Undocumented migrants (UDM) often are excluded even from such basic provisions. Lacking a legal residence status, they live in a NowHereland and are subject to various forms of exploitation. The Center for Health and Migration initiated a stock-taking of legal frameworks concerning entitlements to basic social infrastructures for UDM as its Social Responsibility Project 2020. National experts provided evidence on entitlements for UDM to social welfare, healthcare, compulsory education, housing, and work, using a validated template for data collection. The chapter will present the country cases of Austria and Israel, which represent the prevailing neglect of human rights within national policies.
