Is Job Loss Always Bad for Health? Evidence from National Health Screening
研究了韩国失业对死亡率、住院、生物标志物和健康行为的影响，发现影响因结果严重程度和性别而异，男性自杀死亡增加但其他指标改善，女性癌症相关死亡和住院增加。
Abstract We examine the effect of job displacement on mortality, hospitalization, biomarkers, and health behaviors in South Korea. We find that the impact on health differs between severe and less severe outcomes and also by gender. Men experience little impact on mortality and hospitalization except for an increase in suicide deaths, whereas their biomarkers and health behaviors improve. Women experience an increase in mortality and hospitalization due to cancer, but no significant effects on biomarkers or health behaviors. The study emphasizes the need to consider a comprehensive range of outcomes to accurately evaluate the effect of job loss on health.
