Healthy aging in comparative perspective: A study of the health of older migrants and non-migrants across Europe

Migration, ageing and health are on the political agenda of all European countries, however with little attention devoted to ageing and health among migrants in Europe. This project will investigate the differences in health and health trajectories reflecting the ageing process among older migrants and non-migrants in Europe, and the determinants of these, using a variety of data among which harmonized survey data. The results will point at vulnerable population groups, identify the most favourable health trajectories and provide information to determine the future healthcare needs in European societies that encounter increasing diversity owing to migration.
