Abstract
This paper aims to explore how health influences migrants’ entrepreneurial behaviour. Interview data collected from twenty migrant entrepreneurs in the United Kingdom was analysed using the social determinants of health theory. Based on the different characteristics and conditions of the migrants, three main themes emerged from the data: Health as the normal lifestyle of an entrepreneur, Health crisis to entrepreneurial opportunity, Entrepreneurship reality and health. Findings illustrate that health is a critical turning point for migrant entrepreneurial behaviour. Furthermore, the study reveals the double-edged effect of entrepreneurship on migrants' health, illustrating the contextual dynamics of entrepreneurship setting in health and wellbeing research.
