Alleenstaande minderjarige asielzoekers in Nederland (projectnummer 99.090)

This dataset contains the main results of a study report entitled Alleenstaande minderjarige asielzoekers in Nederland (solitary underage asylum seekers in the Netherlands). An ama (an acronym for Alleenstaande Minderjarige Asielzoeker; solitary underage asylum seeker) is someone that comes at an age of 17 years or younger to the Netherlands as an asylum seeker, without guidance of a legally adult representative. This project involves an inventory research of the situation preceding the implementation of the new ama policy of January 2001. The consequences of this new ama policy will not be analysed in this survey.
