mmigrant populations have been shown to display a disproportionately high mortality burden during the Covid-19 epidemic in some high-income countries. Individual civil registration data from Spain, one of the countries with the highest Covid-19 mortality in Europe, was used in order to characterize mortality during the Covid-19 for different immigrant groups. Individuals born in South America, Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa are shown to have suffered higher mortality impact than the native-born, particularly at working ages (40-59 years old), which could be due to higher proportions of immigrants
from these regions among key workers. However, this disproportionate impact is not as high as found in other European countries, like France or Sweden. On the other hand, immigrants born in Europe show almost no mortality increment due to the epidemic. In turn, evidence is shown, for the first time, of a generalized strong migrant mortality advantage for all non-European immigrant groups in Spain, that reduces or even tilts for some groups in 2020.
