The immigrant condition is characterised precisely by differences compared to the native-born population. The objective of policy is to ensure that over time, these differences are reduced and that social and economic outcomes of immigrants are similar to those observed for the non-immigrant population. Children of immigrants, however, are not necessarily immigrants themselves, and even those born abroad may have arrived at an early age. Still, the immigrant experience clearly has an effect on them, even when they have been fully educated in the host country. 2, record 1, English, - immigrant%20condition

Of the Health Policy Working Paper Series, by Ilene Hyman, 2001, vii, 89 pages. The purpose of this report is to review research on the health determinants of health of Canadian immigrants and to discuss the implications of this research for policy makers. Specific attention is placed on reviewing evidence of the healthy immigrant effect. The healthy immigrant effect refers to the observation that immigrants are often in superior health to the native-born population when they first arrive in a new country, by lose this health advantage over time. 1, record 6, English, - Immigration%20and%20Health

De la Série de documents de travail sur les politiques de santé, par Ilene Hyman, 2001, viii, 101 pages. L'objectif du présent rapport est de passer en revue les recherches effectuées sur la santé et les déterminants de la santé chez les immigrants canadiens et d'examiner les répercussions de ces travaux pour les décideurs. Une attention particulière est apportée aux éléments de preuve corroborant l'hypothèse de l'«effet de l'immigrant en bonne santé». La notion d'effet de l'immigrant en bonne santé découle de l'observation selon laquelle les immigrants à leur arrivée dans leur pays d'accueil sont souvent en meilleure santé que les natifs de celui-ci, mais perdent cet avantage avec le temps. 1, record 6, French, - Immigration%20et%20sant%C3%A9
