(Forced) migration is a major issue all over Europe. To assess requirements and needs of refugees, self-reports such as surveys are a relevant data collection method. Nevertheless, most measurement instruments are developed and validated in Western contexts. Due to i.e. cultural and language differences, comparability cannot be taken for granted. With the help of multi-group confirmatory analyses and ...

After arrival, asylum seekers are often housed in reception centers. The type, quality and duration of stay in such centers varies considerably across or within countries. 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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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. ...

Ethnic minorities are often underrepresented in survey research, due to the challenges many researchers face in including these populations. Respondent-driven sampling (RDS) was developed in the late 1990s in order to investigate populations otherwise “hidden” from researchers due to a lack of extant sampling frames. RDS relies on individuals who recruit their fellow population members, allowing samples ...

Lateral entry into the VET system can be considered a highly promising prospect for the socio-economic integration of young refugees in Germany. With this in mind, multiple active labor market programs (ALMPs) for refugees have been launched and expanded, the best known being the ESF-BAMF program and various measures provided by the Federal Employment Agency (FEA). Using data from the IAB-BAMF-SOEP ...

The article examines the extent to which gender roles as well as the human capital resources acquired in the country of origin are associated with refugee women’s chances of taking up vocational education and training (VET) in Germany. It follows the assumption that traditional gender roles, which assign women to the domestic sphere, can affect refugee women’s behavior either directly or through social ...
