Why are immigrants ageing in poorer health compared to non-immigrants? The Research Group on Migration and Health Inequalities seeks to answer this pressing question focusing on three overarching objectives: quantify the gaps in healthy ageing trajectories between immigrants and non-immigrants by age, gender, and socioeconomic status, and their interactions; identify the critical events and circumstances in immigrants’ lives that put them on a different healthy ageing trajectory from non-immigrants; study the impact of family composition and family ties in mitigating health inequalities by migration background.
