BackgroundMigrant and ethnic minority groups are often assumed to have poor health relative to the majority population. Few countries have the capacity to study a key indicator, mortality, by ethnicity and country of birth. We hypothesized at least 10% differences in mortality by ethnic group in Scotland that would not be wholly attenuated by adjustment for socio-economic factors or country of birth.Methods and findingsWe linked the Scottish 2001 Census to mortality data (2001–2013) in 4.62 million people (91% of estimated population), calculating age-adjusted mortality rate ratios (RRs; multiplied by 100 as percentages) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for 13 ethnic groups, with the White Scottish group as reference (ethnic group classification follows the Scottish 2001 Census). The Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation, education status, and household tenure were socio-economic status (SES) confounding variables and born in the UK or Republic of Ireland (UK/RoI) an interacting and confounding variable. Smoking and diabetes data were from a primary care sub-sample (about 53,000 people). Males and females in most minority groups had lower age-adjusted mortality RRs than the White Scottish group. The 95% CIs provided good evidence that the RR was more than 10% lower in the following ethnic groups: Other White British (72.3 [95% CI 64.2, 81.3] in males and 75.2 [68.0, 83.2] in females); Other White (80.8 [72.8, 89.8] in males and 76.2 [68.6, 84.7] in females); Indian (62.6 [51.6, 76.0] in males and 60.7 [50.4, 73.1] in females); Pakistani (66.1 [57.4, 76.2] in males and 73.8 [63.7, 85.5] in females); Bangladeshi males (50.7 [32.5, 79.1]); Caribbean females (57.5 [38.5, 85.9]); and Chinese (52.2 [43.7, 62.5] in males and 65.8 [55.3, 78.2] in females). The differences were diminished but not eliminated after adjusting for UK/RoI birth and SES variables. A mortality advantage was evident in all 12 minority groups for those born abroad, but in only 6/12 male groups and 5/12 female groups of those born in the UK/RoI. In the primary care sub-sample, after adjustment for age, UK/RoI born, SES, smoking, and diabetes, the RR was not lower in Indian males (114.7 [95% CI 78.3, 167.9]) and Pakistani females (103.9 [73.9, 145.9]) than in White Scottish males and females, respectively. The main limitations were the inability to include deaths abroad and the small number of deaths in some ethnic minority groups, especially for people born in the UK/RoI.ConclusionsThere was relatively low mortality for many ethnic minority groups compared to the White Scottish majority. The mortality advantage was less clear in UK/RoI-born minority group offspring than in immigrants. These differences need explaining, and health-related behaviours seem important. Similar analyses are required internationally to fulfil agreed goals for monitoring, understanding, and improving health in ethnically diverse societies and to apply to health policy, especially on health inequalities and inequities.
The International Social Survey Program (ISSP) is an ongoing program of crossnational collaboration. Formed in 1983, the group develops topical modules dealing with important areas of social science as supplements to regular national surveys. This collection, which focuses on national identity, contains data from Australia, Austria, Bulgaria, Canada, the Czech Republic, Germany, Great Britain, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, the Philippines, Poland, Russia, the Slovakian Republic, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and the United States. Respondents were asked to comment on various topics regarding national identity, such as how "close" they felt to their respective countries, national pride, their nations' relations with other countries, and their nations' treatment of immigrants and minority groups. Those queried were asked to describe the pride they felt towards their countries' accomplishments in the following areas: political influence, economics, social security, science and technology, sports, the arts, armed forces, history, and treatment of others. A series of questions probed for respondents' views regarding international relations, including foreign trade restrictions, international problem-solving attempts, foreign language education, the purchase of land by foreigners, the nationality of television programs and movies, and the benefits of membership in regional international organizations. Respondents were also asked to assess their countries' treatment of minority groups and immigrants. Topics covered the preservation of minority traditions, the impact of immigrant groups on crime, the economy, the job market, cultural openness, special provisions for political refugees, and the citizenship process. Demographic variables include age, sex, education, marital status, personal and family income, employment status, household size and composition, occupation, religion, social class, union membership, political party, political orientation, race, ethnicity, language fluency, demographics of community, and citizenship.

This data harmonizes waves 2, 4, and 5 from the European Social Survey, waves 5 and 6 from the World Values Survey, and wave 4 from the European Values Study. The aim of the study was to analyze gender attitudes using the statement "Men should have more right to a job than women when jobs are scarce". For information on those people who stayed in the sending countries data from WVS6 for the following countries was chosen: Algeria, Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile, China, Colombia, Cyprus, Ecuador, Estonia, Ghana, Hong Kong, India, Iraq, Japan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lebanon, Mexico, Morocco, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, Rwanda, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, Tunisia, Turkey, Ukraine, the United States, Uruguay, and Zimbabwe.
I also employ data for several countries from Wave 5 for those societies that were not covered during the last wave: Bulgaria, Canada, Egypt, Finland, Hungary, Indonesia, Italy, Iran, Moldova, Norway, Vietnam, Serbia and Montenegro, and Zambia.
I add European societies that have not been covered by the WVS by using the European Values Study 2008: Albania, Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Greece, Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Slovak Republic, and Slovenia. This gives 65 sending societies in total. As people could have migrated from the European countries of the main focus, namely, Belgium, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK, I add those as well, with a final total of 73 sending countries.
Such variables as age, gender, migration status, religiosity measured by self-attribution (How religious are you?), Importance of God, and church attendance as well as denomination are added. Education is binarized for higher o higher. Employment is measured by 6 categories, marital status - by 5 categories. Those who refused to answer were coded into a separate category "refused".
Country-level variables: Human Development Index (HDI), GDP per capita, Polity IV, Freedom House Civil Liberties Index, Gender Inequality Index (by UNDP), unemployment ratio of women to men; percentage of women in the labor market, percentage of women in parliaments, percentage of Islamic population in the country, Islamic majority in the country (binary), level of religiosity in the country (country average for ``How important is God in your life?"), post-communism, Cultural zones from Inglehart's cultural map (8 groups).

In 2024, there were ****** births in the Republic of Ireland, compared with ****** in the previous year. Between 1987 and 2022, the year with the highest number of births was 2010, when there were ******.
As recorded by the source, Moroccans ranked as the foreign nationality with more residents in Spain in 2023, closely followed by Romanians. After years of losing its foreign population, Spain’s immigration figures started to pick up in 2015, with the number of people that moved to the Mediterranean country surpassing the number of foreigners that decided to leave.
A matter of balance The net migration rate of Spain changed its course mainly due to the great inflow of foreigners that move to reside in the Mediterranean country. Spain’s immigration flow slowed down after the 2008 financial crisis, albeit the number of foreigners that opted to change their residence saw a significant growth in the last years. In 2022, Colombians ranked first as the foreign nationality that most relocated to Spain, distantly followed by Moroccans and Ukranians.
Spain does not have the highest number of immigrants in Europe In recent years, the European Union confronted a rising number of refugees arriving from the Middle East. Migration figures show that Germany accommodated approximately 15 million foreign-born citizens, ranking it as the country that most hosted immigrants in Europe in 2022. By comparison, Spain’s foreign population stood slightly over seven million, positioning the Western Mediterranean country third on the European list of foreign-born population. Unfortunately, thousands of persons have died ore gone missing trying to reach Spanish territory, as more and more irregular migrants opt to use dangerous maritime routes to arrive at Southern Europe from Africa's coasts.
