The researchers found there were between 2.6 and 3.2 million irregular migrants living in 12 European countries, including the UK, between 2016 and 2023, representing less than 1% of the total population of these countries.
Migration researchers from 18 of the world's leading universities and research organisations...have released the public database as part of the MIrreM project, which measures irregular migration.
The estimated number of irregular migrants in the UK including asylum seekers, trafficking victims and undocumented migrants, is between 594,000 and 745,000 according to the report.
The new data challenges those perceptions [around irregular migration] and significantly updates previous assessments of the irregular migrant population in Europe.
