| Abstract: | This study examines the impact of immigration on the self-perceived health of natives in 16 European countries from 2006 to 2018. Utilizing data from the European Union Statistics on Income and Living Conditions (EU-SILC) and the European Union Labor Force Survey (EU-LFS), we focus on two health outcomes: natives’ self-perceived health and health-related limitations in daily activities. Contrary to concerns, our findings indicate a positive influence of immigration on natives’ health perception and a reduction in health-related limitations. Noteworthy variations by gender and age emerge, with more pronounced benefits in countries with lower human capital. These results underscore the potential health advantages of immigration, emphasizing the necessity for nuanced immigration policies that consider societal impact and call for a comprehensive evaluation of immigration’s effects. |

The authors do not have permission to share data. Highlights: • Increasing immigration has raised concerns about its impact on well-being of natives. • We analyzed migration effects on native health in 16 European countries (2006-2018). • In low human capital nations, more immigration improves native health perceptions. • Older individuals tend to experience greater health benefits from immigration. • Claims that immigration harms natives’ health are unfounded according to our results.
