内容説明

Publications in this field have, in general, been based predominantly on the experiences of individual national settings. Migration, Health and Survival offers a comparative approach, bringing together leading international scholars to provide original works from the United States, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, England and Wales, Norway, Belgium, and Italy. Variations in physical and mental health and mortality among migrants in relation to their host populations are examined and analyzed in detail, with specific discussion of: the immigrant health and mortality advantage; the healthy migrant hypothesis; migrants as vulnerable populations; the long-term effects of acculturation on health; fast epidemiological transition among migrants; and the intergenerational transmission of mortality risk. The contributions in this volume enhance the reader's understanding of immigrant health and mortality conditions across these leading countries of immigration in the western world. This is an important reference for researchers of migrant studies as well as teachers of graduate level courses in population studies and allied disciplines. Practitioners involved in the provision of health care to immigrants and refugees will further benefit from the insightful analyses. Contributors include: O. Anikeeva, P. Bi, N. Biddle, P. Brzoska, G. Caselli, P. Deboosere, M. Guillot, M. Khlat, L. Liu, S. Loi, D. Manuel, K.B. Newbold, E. Ng, B. Oppedal, D. Ponka, O. Razum, C. Sanmartin, G.K. Singh, S. Strozza, F. Trovato, J. Tu, H. Vandenheede, M. Wallace, S.G. Weldeegzie, L. Wilkinson
