Family reunification and mental health
利用丹麦1995-2019年登记数据分析家庭团聚对非西方成年移民心理健康的影响,发现低收入的非西方男性移民心理健康改善,但对女性影响短暂。
This paper analyses the connection between migration policy and mental health, specifically how family reunification impacts adult immigrants’ mental health. Using Danish register data from 1995–2019, the study focuses on non-Western immigrants and the purchase of prescription medication for mental health issues. Results indicate that family reunification improves the mental health of low-income non-Western male immigrants, especially those unemployed before reunification. The positive impact is temporary for non-Western women.
