Abstract

This paper's aim is to contribute to the literature on elderly employment barriers by exploring the role of mental health relative to that of physical health, and the complementarity between the two. The paper uses European SHARE data. It considers the distinction between the extensive and the intensive margin of work (employment rate and hours) as well as wages/productivity. Results point at the limited role of mental health in determining employment (extensive margin) and hours (the extensive margin) in comparison to physical health. Also, men's employment or hours respond more to health problems, singularly mental ones. Another result is that ill health (be it physical or mental) has no impact on wages. Finally, results suggest moderate complementarity between mental health and physical ill health in degrading people's capacity to stay in paid employment.

精神疾病对50岁以后继续工作的影响相当有限
本文的目的是通过探讨心理健康相对于身体健康的作用,以及两者之间的互补性,为老年人就业障碍的文献做出贡献。本文使用欧洲的SHARE数据。它考虑了广泛和密集工作边际(就业率和工时)以及工资/生产率之间的区别。结果表明,与身体健康相比,心理健康在决定就业(大范围)和工作时间(大范围)方面的作用有限。此外,男性的就业或工作时间更多地反映了健康问题,尤其是精神问题。另一个结果是不健康(无论是身体上的还是精神上的)对工资没有影响。最后,研究结果表明,心理健康和身体健康不良在降低人们从事有偿就业的能力方面存在适度的互补性。
