Disaggregating Middle Eastern and North African Populations in Mortality Records to Better Understand Covid-19 Inequalities in Virginia
Many ethno-racial minority populations had disproportionately high rates of COVID-19 infection and mortality during the initial years of the pandemic, but it is currently unclear whether Middle Eastern and North African populations in the USA experienced similar inequalities. This study disaggregates the MENA population in Virginia death records using a long short-term memory machine learning model that can probabilistically identify ethnically-u…
How Education Shapes Indigenous Health Inequalities in the USA and Mexico
Indigenous peoples around the world face significant health disparities relative to the dominant groups in their countries, yet the magnitude and patterns of health disparities vary across countries. We use data from the National Health Interview Survey and Mexican Family Life Survey to examine the health of Indigenous peoples in Mexico and American Indians and Alaska Natives in the USA and to evaluate how they fare relative to the majority popul…
The Immigrant Mortality Advantage Among Over-65 Middle Eastern and North African Immigrants to the United States
Immigrants to the United States often have longer life expectancies than their U.S.-born counterparts, however it is unclear whether a similar "immigrant advantage" exists for immigrants from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). This study uses a novel machine-learning name classifier to offer one of the first national-level examinations of MENA mortality patterns by nativity in the United States. A recurrent neural network model was develope…
European Immigration and Patterns of Intra- and Interracial Mortality Inequality in the United States, 1900 to 1960
European immigrants to the United States in the early twentieth century occupied a “middle tier” in the ethnoracial hierarchy. The author uses mortality data disaggregated by nativity (1900–1960) and parental nativity (1900–1920) to examine intraracial and interracial mortality inequalities during this period. The findings suggest that variation within the white population mirrored the ethnoracial hierarchy: the U.S.-born white population with U.…
The Missing Mortality Advantage for European Immigrants to the United States in the Early Twentieth Century
Immigrant populations typically have lower mortality rates and longer life expectancies than their nonimmigrant counterparts. This immigrant mortality advantage has been a recurrent finding in demographic and population health research focused on contemporary waves of immigration. However, historical data suggest that European immigrants to the United States in the early twentieth century had worse health and higher rates of mortality, yet it rem…
Diminished Returns in Europe: Socioeconomic Status and Ethno-Racial Health Disparities Across 30 Countries in the European Social Survey
Changing Boundaries of Whiteness? Demographic and Social Determinants of Middle Eastern and North African Marriage Trends in the United States
Intermarriage is an important indicator of immigrant integration trajectories and the rigidity of ethnoracial boundaries. Although questions of Middle Eastern and North African (MENA) integration and social exclusion occupy a central place in public discourse, little is known about their marriage patterns. The authors use the 2017 American Community Survey to estimate patterns of coethnic, panethnic, and intergroup marriages for MENA populations.…
Immigrant health trajectories in historical context: Insights from European immigrant childhood mortality in 1910
Recent studies of immigrant health have focused on an apparent paradox in which some new immigrants arrive healthier than expected but exhibit poorer health outcomes with duration of residence. Although a variety of explanations have been put forth for this epidemiological pattern, questions remain about the socio-historical generalizability of the empirical findings and accompanying theoretical explanations. By examining childhood mortality patt…
Institutions, Incorporation, and Inequality: The Case of Minority Health Inequalities in Europe
Scholars interested in the relationship between social context and health have recently turned attention further “upstream” to understand how political, social, and economic institutions shape the distribution of life chances across contexts. We compare minority health inequalities across 22 European countries ( N = 199,981) to investigate how two such arrangements—welfare state effort and immigrant incorporation policies—influence the distributi…
Neoliberalism and Symbolic Boundaries in Europe: Global Diffusion, Local Context, Regional Variation
Studies suggest that the rise of neoliberalism accompanies a foregrounding of individual responsibility and a weakening of community. The authors provide a theoretical agenda for studying the interactions between the global diffusion of neoliberal policies and ideologies, on the one side, and cultural repertoires and boundary configurations, on the other, in the context of local, national, and regional variation. Exploiting variation in the rate …
Public or private? The role of the state and civil society in health and health inequalities across nations
Health Inequalities in Global Context
The existence of social inequalities in health is well established. One strand of research focuses on inequalities in health within a single country. A separate and newer strand of research focuses on the relationship between inequality and average population health across countries. Despite the theorization of (presumably variable) social conditions as "fundamental causes" of disease and health, the cross-national literature has focused on avera…
