Health disparities between native and foreign-born older population in India: Does migration status matter in later life?
This cross-sectional study suggests that persons with internal and foreign-born migrant status were more vulnerable to poor health outcomes than non-migrants in their later life. This study predicts that migrants need separate health policies as they are in poorer health conditions than non-migrants. Policymakers should initiate equal access to healthcare services for older internal and foreign-born migrants in India.
