This article presents a longitudinal study of employment, unemployment and health of migrant workers in Germany. The analyses were conducted with longitudinal samples of the waves 1-6 (1984-1989) and the waves 6-9 (1989-1992) of the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP). German and migrant workers did not respect to their health satisfaction but unemployed foreign workers were quite less satisfied with their health than unemployed Germans. This corresponded with a high percentage of foreign unemployed (30-50%) who felt chronically ill. A further examination of two (dichotomously formulated) principal investigation hypotheses could not show that the data support the explanation that the poorer health of unemployed migrants was caused by the unemployment situation. The results are interpreted in the way that the unemployed migrants' poorer health can be explained with (health) selection processes in the labour market.
本文介绍了一项关于德国移民工人就业、失业与健康的纵向研究。分析采用了德国社会经济面板（GSOEP）第1 - 6波（1984 - 1989年）和第6 - 9波（1989 - 1992年）的纵向样本。德国工人和移民工人在健康满意度方面并无差异，但失业的外国工人对自身健康的满意度远低于失业的德国工人。这与高比例（30% - 50%）感觉患有慢性病的外国失业者相符。对两个（二分法表述的）主要研究假设的进一步检验未能表明数据支持以下解释，即失业移民健康状况较差是由失业状况导致的。研究结果的解读是，失业移民较差的健康状况可以用劳动力市场中的（健康）选择过程来解释。
