I've been looking into the different approaches to undocumented labor across Europe. It seems we have two very different worlds:
– Spain: Taking a pragmatic route by simplifying rules to address labor shortages in agriculture and construction.
– Switzerland: Staying very strict, with case-by-case decisions based on years of residence and perfect integration.
One side sees an economic necessity, the other sees a legal principle.
What is the reality in your country? Is there a debate about regularization or is the workforce mostly "invisible"? I'm curious to hear about the situation in places like Italy, Germany or Poland.
