How Immigration affects the Health and Subjective Well-being: Evidence from Destination Countries

Abstract

This research finds the effect of immigration on health and subjective well-being and how immigrants combined effects on health, life satisfaction, and happiness in Destination Countries from 2000 to 2018. We employ two models for health and well-being. The data of variables have been taken from WHO and OECD datasets. We examined the panel and cross-section analysis to estimate the association among immigration, health, and subjective well-being and confirmed that immigration has positively and significantly related to health, life satisfaction, and happiness. This study suggested that policies for better employment opportunities should be provided. Employment opportunities would increase peoples' earnings as well as their happiness, life satisfaction, and health conditions.
