The EMN Country Factsheets Structured Dataset

Description

Each year, the European Migration Network (EMN) country factsheets deliver an overview of key migration and international protection developments within all EMN Member States and observer countries. The factsheets include both a textual component and a visual component. In this paper, we introduce a curated dataset of the textual component of these reports over 35 countries and 13 years (2012-2024.) The dataset was created to facilitate European-level research on migration, and promote the use of reliable sources about migration in data science and media research, particularly at a time when the spread of online misinformation about migration constitutes a serious issue. The dataset transforms the original document texts into a tabular format, with columns corresponding to country, year, section, subsection, content, and harmonized title section.
