Using register data from France, @jharrison37.bsky.social & H. Kulu, together with I. Delaporte & A. Pailhé, find that immigrants from North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa & their descendants are less likely to own a home & instead more likely to move to social renting compared to the native group.
Another study led by @jharrison37.bsky.social finds persistent gaps in residential mobility and homeownership between the native population and immigrants + their descendants. @jmikolai.bsky.social @ischiathere.bsky.social @maryabedalahad.bsky.social

Results for women
Results for men
Overall, we contribute to ever growing literature that some migrant groups are living longer with worse health. Further the groups that do show vulnerabilities to relative ill health make up some of the largest groups in England and Wales. Meaning tailored policy interventions are still required.
Some groups, such as Indian immigrants, show an improvement in these health metrics over time. Whilst some show a deterioration, in particular Pakistani and Bangladeshi groups whose life expectancy has fallen most recently (possibly a covid effect and not permanent).
We also find that those from other countries within the common travel area are consistently found to be living shorter lives and have higher disability.
We establish that most groups show higher LE and DFLE supporting the traditional healthy immigrant effect hypothesis. However, some groups notably Turkish, Afghanistan and Somalia born show that they are living longer lives with more disability.
In this paper we compute Life expectancy and Disability free life expectancies at lowest level immigrant group in England and Wales across three time points (2001,2011 and 2021)
My first working paper from the @para-mor-ukri.bsky.social project is now available. Co-authored with PI @mjwdemography.bsky.social

Great to see @para-mor-ukri.bsky.social colleague Courtney Franklin do the first presentation of research coming out of our project at #BSPS2025
@jharrison37.bsky.social is next presenting his work on #births, #partnerships & residential #mobility of #immigrants & #descendants in #France! He shows that African immigrants exhibit higher event intensity, some fertility convergence across generations & that residential barriers persist.
Congrats!
It’s the former btw!
Happy BSPS week to all those who celebrate. My office for the afternoon is a table seat on the Transport to Wales service en route to Swansea.
Looking forward to catching up with everyone there!
What does a reviewer mean when they say “the results section is too descriptive”?
I’m at a bit of a loss about what else should be in a results section if not a description of the results
Graduation ✔️

Excited to be a part of this team, and involved in a really interesting project!
Thanks @popassocamerica.bsky.social for a phenomenal (IYKYK) time at #PAA2025. My two sessions were great and both my discussants gave great insight! Great to be here alongside my @migrantlife.bsky.social and @phrg-standrews.bsky.social colleagues.
Until next time!
Final day at #PAA2025! I’m presenting on the migrant mortality advantage in England and Wales compared to Norway at 9am in the Magnolia room on the mezzanine.
Start your Sunday out right by listening to me!
Our team is busy busy busy today!
Busy day at #PAA2025 for me!
Catch me in session 36 in the cherry blossom room at 9:30 talking about @migrantlife.bsky.social work!
And also in Poster session 4!
Thanks. I’m a Bluesky newbie. I didn’t know if hashtags were a thing on here.
PAA 2025 is off to a great start; as I find myself with not one, but two rows to myself on my Icelandair flight!
