Abstract

Free mobility within the EU has made it easier for EU citizens to migrate to a country of their preference. Previous studies looking into the relationship between migration and welfare often looked at whether generous welfare systems are an incentive for migration. But little is known about how mobile EU citizens view their support system after migration and who are providers of support. This study has therefore explored how mobile EU citizens from different welfare regimes view the role of formal and informal support in the country of destination and who they mention as sources of informal support. A secondary data analysis was performed which consisted of 28 in-depth interviews that were conducted with Polish, Spanish and British EU citizens residing in the Netherlands. The analysis focused on the role of formal, kin and non- kin support in three welfare domains: healthcare, unemployment and childcare.
