In the context of the so-called “EU refugee crisis” in 2014-2016, reports emerged that some asylum seekers and refugees remained in reception centers for several years due to limited capacity of municipalities, lengthy asylum procedures ...

Welche Bildung bringen Zuwanderer mit? Eine Einordnung vor dem Hintergrund der Bildungsverteilungen im Herkunftsland [What education do immigrants bring with them? A classification based on educational distributions in the country of origin]

Die Bildung von Zuwanderern wird in der Regel anhand der mitgebrachten Abschlüsse charakterisiert. Weniger Beachtung findet dagegen die Wertigkeit, welche den erzielten Qualifikationen im Kontext des Herkunftslandes zukommt. Einerseits lässt sich zeigen, dass Geflüchtete im Vergleich zu den meisten anderen gegenwärtigen Zuwanderergruppen über eine im Schnitt geringere formale Bildung verfügen. Andererseits ...

Inequalities in Disability-Free and Disabling Multimorbid Life Expectancy in Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States

To better understand variations in multimorbidity severity over time, we estimate disability-free and disabling multimorbid life expectancy (MMLE), comparing Costa Rica, Mexico, and the United States (US). We also assess MMLE inequalities by sex and education.Data come from the Costa Rican Study on Longevity and Healthy Aging (2005–2009), the Mexican Health and Aging Study (2012–2018), and the Health ...

Working longer despite poorer health? Inequalities in working and health expectancies at older ages in South Korea

Alongside increasing life expectancy comes the opportunity to extend working life, but whether those extra years are spent with or without multimorbidity is unclear. Existing studies estimated healthy and unhealthy working life expectancy (WLE), defined using binary health indicators, until retirement age and used data from Western countries. However, countries with the greatest burden of population ...

Disease accumulation across birth cohorts in South Korea

When someone is born dictates the environment, society, and historic events that they will experience and share with other members of their birth cohort as they age. The age at which an individual experiences an adverse event, combined with their early and later-life characteristics, are important determinants of their health and mortality at older ages. South Korea has undergone several major shocks ...

Multimorbid life expectancy across race, socio-economic status, and sex in South Africa

Multimorbidity is increasing globally as populations age. However, it is unclear how long individuals live with multimorbidity and how it varies by social and economic factors. We investigate this in South Africa, whose apartheid history further complicates race, socio-economic, and sex inequalities. We introduce the term ?multimorbid life expectancy? (MMLE) to describe the years lived with multimorbidity. ...
