The Impact of Psychiatric Disorders on Labor Market Outcomes
基于美国全国共病调查数据,研究精神障碍对就业、工作时间和收入的影响,发现其显著降低男女就业率,并减少男性工作时间和男女收入。
Analyzing data on 2,225 men and 2,401 women from the National Comorbidity Survey, the authors examine the impact of psychiatric disorders on employment and, among those employed, work hours and income. They find that psychiatric disorders significantly reduced employment among both men and women. They also find evidence of small reductions in the conditional work hours of men and a substantial drop in the conditional income of men and women, although these findings are somewhat sensitive to the estimation methods and specification of the model.
