Scar on my heart: effects of unemployment experiences on coronary heart disease

Abstract: Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study the impact of unemployment on coronary heart diseases (CHD) in Italy on a sample of male manual workers in the private sector. Design/methodology/approach The authors investigate the association between CHD and different unemployment experiences (ever unemployed; short, mid and long cumulative unemployment), exploiting a large Italian administrative database on careers and health. The study design is based on the balancing of individuals' characteristics during a… Show more

“…In accordance with these theoretical predictions, empirical studies find a negative association between periods spent in unemployment and self-rated physical health and psychological wellbeing (Drydakis 2015;Huber, Lechner, and Wunsch 2011;Schaller and Huff Stevens 2015;Strully 2009). These findings are consistent with those based on more objective measures of health (Michaud, Crimmins, and Hurd 2016;Ardito et al 2017) and mortality (Sullivan and Von Wachter 2009).…”

“…In the long run, youth unemployment has scarring effects on mental health (Strandh et al 2014) and mortality (Sullivan and Von Wachter 2009). These results are robust to different identification strategies -layoffs as an exogenous source of job loss (Sullivan and Von Wachter 2009;Strully 2009), matching methods (Ardito et al 2017), or instrumenting for job loss (Farré, Fasani, and Mueller 2018).…”

“…Because we are interested in studying the possible effects of rising statutory pension age on the health of workers, we focus on transitions from work into regular retirement (old age and seniority retirement) excluding transitions occurring through disability or early retirement options (generally used by firms as alternatives to long‐term unemployment benefits (Contini and Leombruni 2006)). We do so in order to distinguish between forced retirement, due to health reason or involuntary job loss, and statutory retirement—as the end of the working career—because they might entail different health effects (Ardito et al 2017; van der Heide et al 2013), and because we are ultimately interested in the possible consequences of public policies on rising statutory pension age. We restricted the sample to retirees born in the years 1937–1944, as for them pension rules were constant over the period and they were in their sixties when the hospitalization data are available (2001–2014).…”
