“…Among other factors, gender determines who migrates and which migration-related risks and opportunities emerge in all phases of the migration trajectory. Simultaneously, migration influences the individual as well as social definition and perception of gender roles [32,33]. For example, women may experience their role differently when emigrating for economic reasons and going from principally caring for their family to the labour market.…”

Background Gender as a social construct contributes to determine who migrates and which migration-related risks and opportunities emerge in all phases of the migration trajectory. Simultaneously, migration influences the individual as well as societal definition and perception of gender roles. An explicit gender perspective in migration-related epidemiological research can contribute to adequately analyse and interpret the health of migrants. This systematic review gives a comprehensive overview on how gender has been conceptualised, operationalised and measured in social epidemiologic studies aiming to assess the influence of gender on health among migrants. Methods We searched PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, EconLit and PsycINFO and conducted backward reference searching. Reviewers independently selected studies, extracted data and conducted the quality assessment. Eligible studies actively aimed to understand, identify or explain the influence of gender on migrants’ health, whereby the role of gender can encompass a variety of mechanisms, processes or states of differentiation, discrimination and/or inequality. Results Almost all of the 43 studies were cross-sectional and focussed on health outcomes in the post-migration phase. The most common theme of research was the health of male migrants in the US, and in particular of men who have sex with men (MSM). All studies treated gender as a binary variable (men vs. women), without discussing additional types of gender identities. A minority of studies differentiated clearly between sex and gender. Gender was mostly operationalised through attitudes toward gender roles and gender-based discrimination, experienced at the individual level. Community and societal level gender measures capturing structural gender determinants were underrepresented. Conclusions The intersections of migration and gender suggested synergistic effects on health that only become visible when considering those two social determinants together. Future research needs to embrace a multilevel and non-binary understanding of gender and reflect on the influence of gender in the different phases of the migration journey.

“…However, studies show that a transcultural identity involves a hybrid form of identity from several cultural contexts. Instead of excluding certain aspects of the Polish cultural context and involving only those of the Austrian or German contexts, a mixing of cultures due to the hybridization of individual cultures occurs (Welsch 1994, Kannengießer 2012). This conceptualization of identity forming goes beyond the national-territorial determinism and cultural representation but highlights a third space (in-betweeness) and on the thereon based hybridization due to migration experiences (Bhabha 2000: 341).…”

“…Based on data analysis, it cannot be asserted that there is a stronger expression of the identity in one of the two groups. (Welsch 1994, Kannengießer 2012). Hypothesis 5 has been verified as among the Austrian-Polish immigrant grownups, 88% feel to be Polish or at least "in-between Polish" and 92% feel to be Austrian or at least "in-between Austrian".…”

“…In the present research, it was assumed that second generation Polish immigrants in Austria and Germany have a transcultural identity, characterized as a hybrid form of identity from at least two cultural contexts. Instead of excluding certain aspects of the Polish cultural context and including only those of the Austrian or German one, a mixing of the two cultures due to a hybridization process takes place (Welsch 1994, Kannengießer 2012. Hypothesis 5 was verified as among the Austrian-Polish immigrant grownups, as 88% feel "Polish" or at least "in-between Polish" and 92% feel "Austrian" or at least "in-between Austrian".…”

“…Based on previous studies and theoretical discussion about identity construction, it was assumed that while the identity of their parent generation was monocultural due to their strong sense of belonging to their native Poland, the identity of second generation of Polish immigrants in Austria and Germany is transcultural (hypothesis 4). It was likewise assumed that this transcultural identity had developed as a hybrid form of identity shaped by at least two cultural contexts (Welsch 1994, Kannengießer 2012. Hypothesis 4 has been verified as among the Austrian-Polish immigrant grownups, 88% identify as Polish or at least "inbetween Polish" and 92% as Austrian or at least "in-between Austrian".…”
