Linguistic Mortality Gradients in Quebec and the Role of Migrant Composition
|
| Abstract |
Anglophones and Allophones in Quebec have lower mortality than Francophones, despite being linguistic minorities. The authors assess whether language is a risk factor for mortality after accounting for migrant composition, and whether interprovincial migrants differ in mortality with respect to Quebec-born individuals. The authors analyzed death records between 2004 and 2008 from Quebec (all-cause and main causes) and population data from the 2006 census to estimate age-adjusted mortality rates according to language and migrant status. They found that Francophone Quebec-borns had the highest mortality. Among Quebec-borns, Anglophones and Allophones had lower mortality relative to Francophones. Interprovincial migrants had lower mortality relative to Francophone Quebec-borns. Among immigrants, mortality was lower for Francophones and Allophones, but not Anglophones, relative to Francophone Quebec-borns. The authors conclude that in Quebec, linguistic disparities in mortality remain after accounting for migrant status, and both Francophone and Anglophone interprovincial migrants in Quebec had lower mortality than Quebec-born Francophones.
