Existing studies on contextual health effects struggle to account for compositional bias, limiting causal interpretation. We use refugee dispersal in Germany as a natural experiment to study the effect of area-level socioeconomic deprivation on mental and physical health, while considering the potential mediating role of neighbourhood characteristics. Refugees subject to dispersal (n = 1466) are selected ...

Drei Studien auf Basis der IAB-BAMF-SOEP-Befragung von Geflüchteten – Durch Änderung des Asylbewerberleistungsgesetzes dürfte sich Wartezeit auf reguläre Gesundheitsversorgung für Geflüchtete auf zwei Jahre verdoppeln – Inanspruchnahme von Hilfen zur Integration bei Geflüchteten ungleich verteilt – Zentrale Mittelmeerroute weltweit der tödlichste Fluchtweg
Ende Februar wurde das Asylbewerberleistungsgesetz ...
Bis zum Abschluss ihres Asylverfahrens haben Geflüchtete nur einen eingeschränkten Anspruch auf Gesundheitsleistungen. Ende Februar 2024 wurde die maximale Dauer dieser Einschränkung von 18 auf 36 Monate verlängert. Diese Änderung dürfte die tatsächliche Wartezeit, die – wie Daten des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen – derzeit bei über einem Jahr liegt, verdoppeln. Besonders betroffen sind ...

This average effect hides considerable heterogeneity, reflecting gender-role asymmetries: lower life satisfaction is found only for unmarried ...
