How does mortality compare between different countries/regions of birth for the population of England and Wales, 2007 to 2021? A descriptive, observational study

Despite lacking data on individual-level factors (e.g. duration of residence, socio-economic status and co-morbidities), this national-level study demonstrates important trends in migrant mortality. The findings highlight the urgent need for improved data to capture migration-related variables and enable a deeper understanding of the drivers behind observed trends. The decline in migrant mortality advantage over time for some groups highlights the importance of monitoring structural health inequalities and can inform targeted public health policies and more granular future research.
