Paper

Abstract

Foreign-born residents in high-income countries often outlive the native-born population, but it remains unclear how this advantage varies across countries and socioeconomic groups. We aimed to assess socioeconomic inequalities in the life expectancy advantage of foreign-born populations across 10 European countries.

Research summary

The paper claims that socioeconomic inequalities affect the life expectancy advantage of foreign-born populations compared to native-born populations across 10 European countries. This research is relevant as it explores factors influencing life expectancy, which is a critical aspect of longevity studies.
