Using large samples, disability pensions among foreign-born and native-born women and men living in Sweden is studied here for the period 1981-1999. The results show foreign-born individuals having higher rates of disability pension. The risk of being on disability pension is very low for newly arrived immigrants, but increases rapidly on a yearly basis after immigration. Higher rates of disability pension are reported for persons born in Greece, Yugoslavia, Turkey and Finland. Results from multivariate analysis indicate that factors such as education, country of residence and marital status cannot fully explain the high rates of disability pension observed among many immigrant groups. Future research needs to address which possible causes are most important for policies to address.
本文利用大量样本，对1981年至1999年期间居住在瑞典的外国出生和本国出生的女性及男性的残疾抚恤金情况进行了研究。结果显示，外国出生的人领取残疾抚恤金的比例更高。新抵达的移民领取残疾抚恤金的风险很低，但移民后每年都会迅速上升。据报告，出生在希腊、南斯拉夫、土耳其和芬兰的人领取残疾抚恤金的比例较高。多变量分析结果表明，教育、居住国和婚姻状况等因素不能完全解释许多移民群体中观察到的高残疾抚恤金率。未来的研究需要探讨哪些可能的原因对政策应对最为重要。
