Labour market implications of thyroid dysfunctions
研究甲状腺疾病对劳动力市场的影响，发现未确诊的甲状腺功能减退症会降低女性工资并扩大性别工资差距，但确诊后女性工资和就业概率提高。
This paper aims to shed some light on the labour market implications of thyroid disease. Undetected hypothyroidism has adverse effects on wages for female workers,thus widening the existing gender wage gap. However, once female individuals are diagnosed (and therefore assumed to be treated) with hypothyroidism, they experience wage gains and have a higher employment probability. In relation to other labour market outcomes, thyroid disease does not appear to play a significant role on individuals' labour force participation decision and their working hours. Results suggest that productivity gains may drive the improvement in wages.
