This chapter studies the utilization of health services and the health-related expenditures of immigrants aged fifty or older among residents of Europe. The results suggest that immigrants’ health-related behaviour differ with respect to that of locals. Specifically, the two groups do not have the same capacity to afford health-related expenditures, even when demographic controls and healthcare needs are considered.

Abstract

This chapter studies the utilization of health services and the health-related expenditures of immigrants aged fifty or older among residents of Europe. The results suggest that immigrants’ health-related behaviour differ with respect to that of locals. Specifically, the two groups do not have the same capacity to afford health-related expenditures, even when demographic controls and healthcare needs are considered.
