Resumo(s)
Full access to healthcare is an important driver of immigrant integration. Existing literature
shows that there are multiple de facto barriers for migrants to access healthcare even when they
are legally entitled to them. This paper examines how time since arrival impacts immigrants’
access to healthcare, a novel research question adding to the existing literature on migrant
assimilation. We use survey data collected from about 800 Cape Verdean immigrants in the
Lisbon Metropolitan Area. The findings show that immigrants do assimilate in terms of access
to healthcare. These results are robust when controlling for sample selection.
