Displaced or depressed? Working in automatable jobs and mental health
利用法国个人调查数据，通过倾向得分匹配发现，从事可自动化工作使患心理障碍的概率增加3个百分点，恐惧失业、技能变化和职业流动是主要机制。
Abstract Automation may destroy jobs and change the labor demand structure, thereby potentially impacting workers' mental health. Implementing propensity score matching on French individual survey data, we find that working in an automatable job is associated with a 3 pp increase in the probability of suffering from mental disorders. Fear of automation through fear of job loss, expectation of a required change in skills, and fear of unwanted job mobility seem to be relevant channels to explain the findings.
