本文考察了失业对总体死亡率和特定原因死亡率的影响。使用关联的雇主-雇员数据，我们确定了由于1987年和1988年瑞典所有企业关闭而流离失所的工人。因此，我们扩展了案例研究方法，这种方法在植物关闭文献中占主导地位。在失业后的头四年里，男性的总体死亡风险增加了44%，而对女性的总体死亡率或长期死亡率都没有影响。然而，对于两性来说，自杀和与酒精有关的死亡率在短期内都增加了两倍。
This paper examines the impact of job loss on overall and cause-specific mortality. Using linked employer-employee data, we identified the workers displaced 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. The overall mortality risk among men increased by 44 percent during the first four years following job loss, while there was no impact on either female overall mortality or in the longer run. For both sexes, however, there was an about twofold short-run increase in suicides and alcohol-related mortality.
