Does Job Loss Shorten Life?
Open accessAbstract
This paper examines the causal effect of job loss on overall and cause-specific mortality.Using linked employer-employee register data, we identified the job losses due to all establishment closures in Sweden in 1987 and 1988.Hence, we have extended the case study approach, which has dominated the plant closure literature, and also been able to remedy most weaknesses associated with previous studies.We found that the overall mortality risk for men was increased by 44 percent during the first four years following job loss.For women and in the longer run we found no effects.The short-run excess mortality was mainly attributed to increased risk of suicides and alcohol-related causes of death.For both sexes, the increase in suicides was about twofold for both men and women, while the increase in alcohol-related causes of death was somewhat less.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
