Whereas a large literature has shown the importance of early life health for adult socioeconomic outcomes, there is little evidence on the importance of adolescent health. We contribute to the literature by studying the impact of adolescent health status on adult labor market outcomes using a unique and large-scale dataset covering almost the entire population of Swedish males. We show that most types of major conditions have long-run effects on future outcomes, and that the strongest effects result from mental conditions. Including sibling fixed effects or twin pair fixed effects reduces the magnitudes of the estimates, but they remain substantial.
虽然大量文献表明早期健康状况对成年人社会经济成果具有重要意义，但关于青少年健康的重要性却几乎没有证据。我们通过使用一个独特的大规模数据集来研究青少年健康状况对成年劳动力市场成果的影响，该数据集涵盖了几乎所有瑞典男性人口，从而为这一文献做出了贡献。我们发现，大多数主要疾病类型对未来成果都有长期影响，其中精神疾病的影响最为强烈。纳入兄弟姐妹固定效应或双胞胎固定效应会降低估计值的幅度，但这些影响仍然很大。
