Health and work in the family : evidence from spouses' cancer diagnoses / by Sung-Hee Jeon and R. Vincent Pohl. : CS11-0019/381E-PDF
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.
