Housing Situation Eastern European Working Migrants in The Hague: An Eightfold Path Policy Review

Bachelor thesis | Urban Studies (BA)

Eastern European working migrants have become an essential part of the Dutch economy. With the current labor crisis in The Netherlands, they play a vital role in many sectors. Often employed through employment agencies who also take care of their accommodation. There are however many problems with this system and Eastern European working migrants have to deal with far from ideal living situations. This problem is especially true in The Hague, a city that houses over 20.000 working migrants. To tackle this problem, the eightfold path for effective policy making has been used to make a policy recommendation for the municipality of The Hague that can be used to create a better understanding of the housing situation which can be tested to learn if it creates more affordable housing, especially for Eastern European working migrants.
