Migration researcher Jan van de Beek: ‘Our asylum system is hypocritical and inhumane’

Now that the asylum debate is once again under high tension, mathematician and anthropologist Jan van de Beek visits Studio Sedee. They extensively discuss the failed asylum laws in the Senate, and the unrest in Loosdrecht, for example, about the arrival of emergency shelters for asylum seekers. How to take the pressure off and tackle the asylum challenges? The interview podcast also discusses Van de Beek’s much-discussed book: Migration Magnet Netherlands. In it he extensively mapped the migration flows to our country. It led to appreciation and also criticism. In Studio Sedee he looks back on that period and indicates which new research he may do. Studio Sedee can also be listened to via Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
