@phdthesis{theses_frw345, year = {2019}, title = {Life Expectancy Inequalities between Natives and Migrants in the Netherlands ? Effects of Mortality Differentials and Selection}, author = {Bj{\"o}rn Poerschke}, abstract = {The results suggest that the healthy migrant effect is viable mostly for Moroccans. Additionally, Turkish individuals show mortality advantages throughout adult age-groups, but not in total life expectancy and older ages. The Surinamese population is found to be almost uniformly disadvantaged. There is also a large data effect: when changing the population from residentially restricted to non-restricted, Dutch natives enjoy the most favorable mortality patterns and highest life expectancy. The results of the salmon bias analysis suggest that moving and health are related for Turkish immigrants; however, not in the direction that the salmon bias suggests. Conclusively, migrant health in the Netherlands is less paradoxical as expected and a considerable bias due to unhealthy re-migration seems unlikely.}, url = {https://frw.studenttheses.ub.rug.nl/345/} }
