Immigrant-native health disparities in ageing societies: an intersectional approach
Immigrants arrive to receiving countries in excellent health. Yet compared to natives their health deteriorates more rapidly. Why this is the case remains poorly understood due to the scarce availability of large longitudinal datasets useful to explain the dynamic of immigrants’ health over the life-course. In the near future, the immigrant-native health gap is likely to be further exacerbated by population ageing. In order to formulate effective policies to reduce immigrant-native health gaps, we need a deeper understanding of the causes of the unhealthy ageing of immigrants. MigHealthGaps undertakes the most comprehensive analysis to date into the study of immigrant-native health…
