Migrant mortality differences in the 2000s in Belgium: interaction with gender and the role of socioeconomic position

Many studies that have assessed this, observed a migrant mortality advantage. This study will extend the knowledge by probing into the interaction between migrant mortality and gender, and to assess the role of socioeconomic position indicators in this paradox.
