Impact of Poor Health on the Work Status of Women Presented: Morgantown, WV, West Virginia University, Conference on Women and Health, 1982 Cohort(s): Mature Women, Older Men Publisher: International Council For Small Business (ICSB) Keyword(s): Benefits, Disability; Earnings; Health/Health Status/SF-12 Scale; Vocational Rehabilitation; Welfare Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. This paper documents the effect of declining health on the labor market earnings of women. The magnitude of this effect is then compared to a similar estimate for men. The NLS of Older Men reinterviewed in 1976 (ages 55-69) and Mature Women reinterviewed in 1977 (ages 40-54) provide the data base for these analyses. The findings provide convincing evidence that poor health exacts a heavy toll from the economic status of women by reducing the likelihood they will work at all, by reducing the number of hours if they continue to work, and by reducing their wages. These reductions are generally larger for women than men. |
