Refugee and asylum policies
Last updated:
The Dataset of World Refugee and Asylum Policies (DWRAP) offers a complete dataset of de jure asylum and refugee policies for all 193 countries for the 70 years from 1951-2022. Explore what policies are in place and how these policies have shifted over the past seven decades. The DWRAP index aggregates policies from 5 fields: Access; Services; Livelihoods; Movement, and Citizenship and Participation; with values ranging from 0 to 1, where values closer to 1 indicate more liberal policies.
DWRAP was developed by Blair, Grossman and Weinstein (2022) and has been updated in collaboration with the World Bank – UNHCR Joint Data Center on Forced Displacement.
