An Investigation into the Effect of Type I and Type II Diabetes Duration on Employment and Wages Economics and Human Biology 11,4 (December 2013): 534-544. Also: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1570677X13000397 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Elsevier Keyword(s): Employment; Gender Differences; Health, Chronic Conditions; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Labor Force Participation; Wage Penalty/Career Penalty; Wage Rates; Wages Using data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth 1979, the current study examines the effect of type I and type II diabetes on employment status and wages. The results suggest that both the probability of employment and wages are negatively related to the number of years since the initial diagnosis of diabetes. Moreover, the effect of diabetes duration on the probability of employment appears to be nonlinear, peaking around 16 years for females and 10 years for males. A similar negative effect on wages is found only in male diabetics. Finally, the results suggest that failure to distinguish between type I and type II diabetics may lead to some counterintuitive results. |
