Abstract

The field of international migration and health is a growing research area. International discussions have underlined the need for theoretical discussions relating to the use of the terminology of race, ethnicity, culture, socio-economics and other factors related to a person's place of birth. This article argues for further studies and discussions in a Danish context, where the research is still scarce.
