尽管包括药物滥用障碍在内的几种精神疾病与劳动力市场结果不佳有关，但目前还没有研究能够检查儿童注意力缺陷/多动障碍（ADHD）的影响。由于ADHD已成为最普遍的儿童精神疾病之一，了解这种疾病的全部后果是有用的。本文使用了纵向国家样本，包括兄弟姐妹对，以显示ADHD的重要劳动力市场结果的后果。就业率下降了10至14个百分点，收入下降了约33%，社会援助增加了15个百分点，这些数字大于许多估计的黑人/白色收入差距和性别收入差距。这种联系的一小部分是由教育程度和共病的健康状况和行为解释的。研究结果还显示，家庭背景和发病年龄对劳动力市场的影响存在重要差异。这些发现，沿着类似的研究表明，多动症与不良的教育成果和成人犯罪有关，这表明治疗儿童多动症以培养人力资本的重要性。版权所有（c）2013约翰威利父子有限公司
Although several types of mental illness, including substance abuse disorders, have been linked with poor labor market outcomes, no current research has been able to examine the effects of childhood attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Because ADHD has become one of the most prevalent childhood mental conditions, it is useful to understand the full set of consequences of the illness. This article uses a longitudinal national sample, including sibling pairs, to show the important labor market outcome consequences of ADHD. The employment reduction is between 10 and 14 percentage points, the earnings reduction is approximately 33%, and the increase in social assistance is 15 points, figures that are larger than many estimates of the Black people/White people earnings gap and the gender earnings gap. A small share of the link is explained by educational attainments and co-morbid health conditions and behaviors. The results also show important differences in labor market consequences by family background and age of onset. These findings, along with similar research showing that ADHD is linked with poor education outcomes and adult crime, suggest the importance of treating childhood ADHD to foster human capital.
