Description
Lucinda Hiam and co-authors published this 2024 study on COVID-19 deaths among migrants in England and Wales. Migrants make up seventeen percent of the UK population. They often show lower death rates overall, yet higher rates for some infections. The team used national statistics to compare COVID-19 mortality by birth region across 2020 and 2021.
Migrants from seventeen of nineteen regions died at higher rates than people born in England and Wales. The highest rates fell on people born in Bangladesh, then Pakistan and the Caribbean. Men born in Bangladesh died at over four times the reference rate. Only a few groups, such as those born in Oceania, fared better. The study gives planners hard numbers on an unequal burden.
