National Life Expectancy Lags Behind Benchmark Progress and the Role of Smoking: An International Comparison
Countries with low mortality show uneven success in improving longevity. Smoking—still a dominant health risk—is a major determinant of these divergent trajectories. Our study aims to determine: a) the continuing influence of smoking on national mortality trends, and b) the extent to which other factors are preventing countries from realizing their health potential. Using mortality data from 20 low-mortality countries (1950–2019), we quantify lif…
Citizenship by Choice, Not Necessity: Political and Emotional Drivers of Naturalisation Intentions Among Migrants From High Income Countries
In the growing body of research on immigrant naturalisation, migrants from high income countries have received scant attention in their own right because of their relatively low baseline citizenship acquisition rates. Established theories predominantly explain why they would not naturalise, yet in absolute terms, many do. To better understand those exceptional cases, this article focuses specially on determinants of naturalisation of migrants fro…
Naturalisation and mobility in the migrant life course: A longitudinal analysis of the Netherlands
Rescaling citizenship: Revisiting Debates on Territory, Rights, and Membership
At the turn of the twentieth century, processes of globalisation gave rise to debates about the continued relevance of citizenship as a legal status that assigns individuals to states. While new concepts reflecting emerging forms of citizenship were introduced, as well as counterarguments emphasising the resilience of national citizenship, these insights have not been explicitly linked to contemporary developments in citizenship. This introductio…
Heterogeneous Naturalization Effects of Dual Citizenship Reform in Migrant Destinations: Quasi-Experimental Evidence from Europe
Does dual citizenship acceptance increase immigrants’ propensity to naturalize and, if so, for whom does this matter most? We exploit exogenous variation in citizenship legislation in 200 migrant-origin countries to identify the effect of destination country policy reform. We hypothesize that the value of the origin country citizenship moderates the reform effect. We test our identification strategy in two West European countries with contrasting…
The Impact of Social Capital on Organ Donation: Evidence from the Netherlands
Long-Term Heterogeneity in Immigrant Naturalization: The Conditional Relevance of Civic Integration and Dual Citizenship
What are the long-term differences in the propensity of immigrants to acquire destination country citizenship under different institutional contexts and how do these vary between migrant groups? This article draws on micro-level longitudinal data from administrative registers in Denmark, the Netherlands, and Sweden-three countries with widely different and changing requirements for the acquisition of citizenship-to track the naturalization propen…
Naturalization and the transition to homeownership: An analysis of signalling in the Dutch housing market
This article pioneers in investigating a citizenship premium for homeownership of first-generation immigrants, using Dutch register data from Statistics Netherlands (N 1⁄4 106,187). I hypothesize that naturalization favourably influences the risk-calculation of lenders through positive signalling among employed migrants, who are likely to meet the basic financial criteria for credit. Results confirm that, all else constant, employed immigrants wh…
Naturalisation and Immigrant Earnings: Why and to Whom Citizenship Matters
The notion that naturalisation matters for the economic integration of immigrants is well established in the literature, but why and to whom that is, remains surprisingly ambiguous. The citizenship premium is traditionally assumed to result from increased labour market access and positive signalling towards employers, but these mechanisms fail to explain increased earnings derived from paid employment, which has been the predominant focus in most…
Anticipating the citizenship premium: Before and After Effects of Immigrant Naturalisation on Employment
Can citizenship improve the economic integration of immigrants, and if so, how? Scholars traditionally understand a citizenship premium in the labour market, besides access to restricted jobs, as the result of a positive signal of naturalisation towards employers. While we do not discard these mechanisms, we argue that explanations should also take into account that migrants anticipate rewards and opportunities of naturalisation by investing in t…
Contribution of smoking to socioeconomic inequalities in mortality: A study of 14 European countries, 1990–2004
In many European countries, smoking has become less important as a determinant of socioeconomic inequalities in mortality among men, but not among women. Inequalities in smoking remain one of the most important entry points for reducing inequalities in mortality
Does the Impact of the Tobacco Epidemic Explain Structural Changes in the Decline of Mortality
Since 1950, most developed countries have exhibited structural changes in mortality decline. This complicates extrapolative forecasts, such as the commonly used Lee-Carter model, that require the presence of a steady long-term trend. This study tests whether the impact of the tobacco epidemic explains the structural changes in mortality decline, as it is presumed in earlier studies. For this purpose, the time index of the Lee-Carter model in male…
Forecasting differences in life expectancy by education
Forecasts of life expectancy (LE) have fuelled debates about the sustainability and dependability of pension and healthcare systems. Of relevance to these debates are inequalities in LE by education. In this paper, we present a method of forecasting LE for different educational groups within a population. As a basic framework we use the Li-Lee model that was developed to forecast mortality coherently for different groups. We adapted this model to…
The ecology of immigrant naturalisation: A Life Course Approach in the Context of Institutional Conditions
Traditionally, immigrants’ propensity to naturalize is attributed to individual characteristics and the origin country. Recently scholars increasingly recognise that naturalisation decisions do not take place in a vacuum: they are conditioned both by the individual life course of immigrants, such as the age at migration and family situation, as well as the opportunity structure set by citizenship policies of the destination country. Yet it is les…
Quantifying the contribution of changes in healthcare expenditures and smoking to the reversal of the trend in life expectancy in the Netherlands
This study suggests that changes in Dutch HCE, and not in smoking, made an important contribution to the reversal of the trend in LE; these findings support the view that investments in healthcare are increasingly important for further progress in life expectancy
A closer look at the role of healthcare in the recent mortality decline in the Netherlands: Results of a record linkage study
BACKGROUND: Since 2002, Dutch mortality rates decreased rapidly after decades of stagnation. On the basis of indirect evidence, previous research has suggested that this decline was due to a sudden expansion of healthcare. We tested two corollaries of this hypothesis--first, that the decline was concentrated among those with ill-health and second, that the decline can be statistically accounted for by increases in healthcare utilisation. METHODS:…
Too Low or Too High? On Birthweight Differentials of Immigrants in Germany
Our paper compares the birth outcomes of international migrant women in Germany to those of non-migrant women. In Germany, about one-third of all newborns are born to migrant mothers. Since immigrant status and socio-economic disadvantages are highly correlated, the health of migrant children and their mothers has received increasing attention in the international literature. When investigating perinatal outcomes, the evidence on the effect of th…
Monitoring of German Fertility: Estimation of Monthly and Yearly Total Fertility Rates on the Basis of Preliminary Monthly Data
This paper introduces a set of methods for estimating fertility indicators in the absence of recent and short-term birth statistics. For Germany, we propose a set of straightforward methods that allow for the computation of monthly and yearly total fertility rates (mTFR) on the basis of preliminary monthly data, including a confidence interval. The method for estimating most current fertility rates can be applied when no information on the age st…
Order-Specific Fertility Rates for GermanyEstimates from Perinatal Statistics for the Period 2001-2008
Until 2008, Germany's vital statistics did not include information on the biological order of each birth. This resulted in a dearth of important demographic indicators, such as the mean age at first birth and the level of childlessness. Researchers have tried to fill this gap by generating order-specific birth rates from survey data, and by combining survey data with vital statistics. This paper takes a different approach by using Perinatal Stati…
