This paper analyzes the relationship between body mass index (BMI) and employment status and wages. The analysis uses a unique data set from a Danish panel survey from 1995 and 2000, combined with administrative registers, covering 8000 individuals. Results show a negative effect of BMI on employment for women and an inverted u-shaped effect for men. Results further indicate that in the private sector BMI has a negative effect on wages for women but an inverted u-shaped effect on wages for men, whereas results from the public sector show that BMI has no influence on wages for either men or women.
本文分析了体重指数（BMI）与就业状况及工资之间的关系。该分析使用了1995年至2000年丹麦一项面板调查的独特数据集，并结合行政登记册，涵盖了8000个人。结果显示，BMI对女性就业有负面影响，对男性就业有倒U形影响。结果还表明，在私营部门，BMI对女性工资有负面影响，对男性工资有倒U形影响，而公共部门的结果显示，BMI对男性和女性的工资均无影响。
