Health and work in the family [electronic resource] : evidence from spouses' cancer diagnoses / by Sung-Hee Jeon and R. Vincent Pohl. [Ottawa] : Statistics Canada, c2016. 50 p. Analytical Studies Branch research paper series, 1205-9153 ; no. 381 Issued also in French under title: Santé et travail dans la famille : les données probantes liées au diagnostic de cancer d’un conjoint. "Release date: July 22, 2016.” Includes bibliographical references. Using Canadian administrative data from multiple sources, this study provides the first nationally representative estimates of the effect of individuals’ cancer diagnoses on the employment and earnings of their spouses and on total family income. This effect is theoretically ambiguous, but clear evidence for a reduction in employment and earnings among men and women is found. These results are interpreted as individuals taking time off work in order to care for their sick spouse (caregiver effect). In order to give a causal interpretation of the results, a combination of matching and individual fixed effects are employed. gccst Cancer gccst Employment gccst Household income gccst Statistics Pohl, R.
