A: In the 1990s and 2000s, detained migrants were generally adult men from Mexico who could be easily deported after a short stay in holding facilities.
The report says that skilled migrants are generally paid more than their British counterparts, but the analysis also found that in "some occupations – primarily in the public sector – migrants are often paid significantly less than similar UK workers, sometimes due to financial pressures".
Migrants are generally younger and more active in the labour market; hence, when computed on the labour force, their share is close to 9percentnt (in 2010).
Several previous studies have attempted to account for whether migrants are generally a self-selected group (e.g., Axelsson and Westerlund 1998; Yankow 2003; Boheim and Taylor 2007; Blackburn 2010).
Most studies found that CEE migrants are generally concentrated in elementary occupations, particularly in the Dutch horticulture, but also in construction, cleaning, catering and in private households (Dagevos, J. (red)., 2011; Gijsberts & Lubbers, 2013).9 Engbersen et al. (2011, 2013) indicate that the majority of their respondents (62%) were either unskilled manual or agricultural workers.
This means that insured migrants are generally unable to utilise local health services.
Irregular migrants are generally not included in migration statistics, as they are especially difficult to measure (for obvious reasons).
Fourth, previous studies show migrants are generally healthier than their local counterparts and attribute this result to the positive selection of migrants on health.
Migrants are generally less skilled and minimally educated, and hence tend to have lower incomes than their local counterparts, leading to poorer access to health care [ 7].
In Europe as well as in the U.S., migrants are generally characterized by low socio-economic status (SES) and working in unhealthy jobs.
