This paper examines the relationship between health endowment and later-life outcomes in the labour market. The analysis is based on reduced-form models in which labour market outcomes are regressed on genetic variants related to the increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. We use linked Finnish data that have many strengths. Genetic risk scores constitute exogenous measures for health endowment, and accurate administrative tax records on earnings, employment and social income transfers provide a comprehensive account of an individual’s long-term performance in the labour market. The results show that although the direction of an effect is generally consistent with theoretical reasoning, the effects of health endowment on outcomes are statistically weak, and the hypothesis of no effect can be rejected only in one case: genetic endowment related to obesity influences male earnings and employment in prime age. Due to the sample size (N = 1651), the results should be interpreted with caution and should be confirmed in larger samples and in other institutional settings.

If you drink, don't smoke : Joint associations between risky health behaviors and labor market outcomes
Böckerman, Petri; Hyytinen, Ari; Kaprio, Jaakko; Maczulskij, Terhi (Pergamon Press, 2018)This paper examines the links between risky health behaviors and labor market success. We provide new evidence on the joint relationships between the most prominent forms of risky health behavior − alcohol consumption, ... -
The effect of weight on labor market outcomes : An application of genetic instrumental variables
Böckerman, Petri; Cawley, John; Viinikainen, Jutta; Lehtimäki, Terho; Rovio, Suvi; Seppälä, Ilkka; Pehkonen, Jaakko; Raitakari, Olli (Wiley, 2019)This paper contributes to the literature on the labor market consequences of obesity by using a novel instrument: genetic risk score, which reflects the predisposition to higher body mass index (BMI) across many genetic ... -
Displacement effects of active labour market policies
Hirvonen, Antti (2021)Tutkielma käsittelee aktiivisen työvoimapolitiikan (ATP) syrjäytysvaikutuksia. Syrjäytysvaikutukset ovat ATP:n epäsuoria sivuvaikutuksia, jotka vaikuttavat työllisyyteen negatiivisesti muiden kuin ohjelmiin osallistuvien ... -
Schizophrenia polygenic risk score and long-term success in the labour market : A cohort study
Viinikainen, Jutta; Böckerman, Petri; Hakulinen, Christian; Kari, Jaana, T.; Lehtimäki, Terho; Raitakari, Olli, T.; Pehkonen, Jaakko (Elsevier, 2022)Employment is rare among people with a schizophrenia diagnosis. Meanwhile, a genetic liability for schizophrenia may hinder labour market performance. We studied how the polygenic risk score (PGS) for schizophrenia related ... -
Labour market reforms, institutions, and the quality of employment : should we all follow German Hartz model in reforming labour markets?
Mähönen, Erno (2015)Underemployment and aging population are major threats for several European economies. This study asks, whether partial labour market reforms, similar to German Hartz reforms, were good choices for other European countries, ...
