title: Life Expectancy Inequalities between Natives and Migrants in the Netherlands – Effects of Mortality Differentials and Selection
creator: Poerschke, Björn
description: 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.
