| Popis: | Health of migrants is a widely studied topic. It has been argued that migrant health may deteriorate over time. Though migrants are a &ldquo hard to reach&rdquo population in survey data, this paper builds on a unique dataset provided by Mé decins du Monde from five countries. We study self-perceived health (SPH) in connection with socio-economic and demographic factors and length of stay. Results differ for men and women. Compared to other documented migrants, asylum seekers have a 50&ndash 70% greater chance of having worse health. Migrants with better living conditions have a 57&ndash 78% chance of being in better health. Male migrants with a job have between a 82&ndash 116% chance of being in good health. The probability for women from poorer countries to have a better physical SPH after three months of residing in the host country is six-fold that of women from richer countries. This paper contributes widely to the knowledge of health of migrants. Contrary to other evidence, health of women migrants from poorer countries tends to improve with length of stay. |
