Here, we aim to understand whether and how the mortality of international migrants affect the estimation and comparison of national life expectancy in four Nordic countries. Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden are all high-income countries in the latest stage of health transition. They have a long tradition of collaboration with shared features of social policy and universal welfare (Knudsen et al., 2019). Despite this, health inequality gaps remain large in the region relative to countries with less developed welfare systems (Mackenbach et al., 2016). International migration has been the major driving force behind population growth in the Nordic region in the past few decades. All four countries have experienced large increases in their absolute and relative numbers of migrants, alongside a transformation in migrant inflows from principally intra-Nordic flows to flows from all over the world (Karlsdottir et al., 2018). In recent years, life expectancy gains have slowed within the region; national life expectancies have also converged, although men and women in Denmark and men in Finland continue to lag some way behind Norway and Sweden (Knudsen et al., 2019).
