Job Loss and Employment Patterns of Older Workers
利用健康与退休研究数据，分析50岁以上工人非自愿失业后10年的就业模式，发现失业对就业概率有持续影响，55岁失业4年后就业率仍比未失业者低20个百分点。
This article uses data from the Health and Retirement Study to examine the employment patterns of workers aged 50 and above who have experienced an involuntary job loss. Hazard Models for returning to work and for exiting post displacement employment are estimated and used to examine work patterns for 10 years following a job loss. Our findings show that a job loss results in large and lasting effects on future employment probabilities. Four years after job losses at age 55, the employment rate of displaced workers remains 20 percentage points below the employment rate of similar nondisplaced workers.
