英文文献摘要:
Causal estimates of the effects of child health shocks on parental labor market outcomes are important for making efficient child disability insurance policy. We leverage the onset of type 1 diabetes (T1D) in childhood to investigate the link between child’s health and parental labor supply. We argue that T1D hits children as-if randomly because the exact cause is unknown, and it has low inheritability. T1D is characterized by a sudden, unpredictable onset, and receiving treatment is crucial to even short-term survival. Using Danish administrative registry data with quasi-experimental methods we show that mothers adjust their labor supply on the intensive margin and experience a 4-5% decrease in wage income that extends at least ten years after diagnosis. This reduction in wage income is similar in magnitude and duration to the motherhood penalty in Denmark. Maternal wage income and labor supply effects are smaller than previous estimates using disabilities that qualify for welfare, emphasizing the importance of not confounding welfare with child health. Fathers do not experience any long-term reduction in wage income.
儿童健康冲击对父母劳动市场结果影响的因果估计对于制定有效的儿童残疾保险政策非常重要。我们利用儿童期1型糖尿病(T1D)的发病来研究儿童健康与父母劳动供给之间的关系。我们认为T1D打孩子似乎是随机的,因为确切的原因是未知的,而且它的遗传性很低。T1D的特点是突然,不可预测的发作,接受治疗是至关重要的,甚至短期生存。利用丹麦的行政登记数据和准实验方法,我们表明,母亲调整了密集的劳动力供应,工资收入减少了4-5%,并在确诊后至少十年持续减少。这种工资收入的减少在幅度和时间上与丹麦的孕产处罚相似。孕产妇工资收入和劳动力供应的影响小于以前对符合福利条件的残疾的估计,这强调了不将福利与儿童健康混淆的重要性。父亲的工资收入不会长期减少。
