The Probability of Receiving Benefits at Different Hours of Work Working Paper, Easton PA: Department of Economics, Lafayette College, 1995 Cohort(s): NLSY79 Publisher: Department of Economics, Lafayette College Keyword(s): Benefits; Benefits, Fringe; Benefits, Insurance; Insurance, Health; Retirement/Retirement Planning; Work Hours/Schedule Permission to reprint the abstract has not been received from the publisher. Workers' probability of being offered medical, retirement, and life insurance benefits is estimating using a sample from the 1991 NLSY. Exogeneity of workers' wages and hours of work is rejected and thus instrumented out of the benefits equations. We find that the predicted probability of being offered each of these benefits is less than 50 percent for those traditionally defined as full-time employed (working 35 hours per week). This finding has important implications for the success of welfare reform and the impact of health care reform. We also find that for our sample of young workers, women are more likely to be offered each benefit at any given hours. |
