Abstract: The aim of this paper is to assess to what extent the work activity in the host country labor market can impact the immigrants' health. Based on the construction of original indicators for several forms of working drudgery, our results show that, on average, immigrant workers are more resilient to painful working conditions, both physical and psychological, than natives. However, the over-concentration of immigrants in hard, harmful and hazardous jobs partly offsets effect of this greater resistance and could explains two major phenomena: a faster average deterioration of health of immigrant workers and an overtime persistence of health disparities between immigrant and native workers.
