中文摘要
我们估计父母健康对成年子女劳动力市场结果的影响。我们关注会突然增加照护依赖的健康冲击。我们的估计策略利用了处理组家庭之间冲击发生时间的差异。基于行政数据的实证结果表明，健康冲击对子女的劳动力市场活动具有显著的负面影响。该效应对女儿以及居住在父母附近的子女更为明显。非正式照护是最可能的作用机制。在正式照护市场自由化后，该效应显著减弱；此次自由化大幅增加了外籍照护工作者的供给。
Abstract
We estimate the impact of parental health on adult children’s labor market outcomes. We focus on health shocks that increase care dependency abruptly. Our estimation strategy exploits the variation in the timing of shocks across treated families. Empirical results based on administrative data show a significant negative impact on the labor market activities of children. This effect is more pronounced for daughters and for children who live close to their parents. Informal caregiving is the most likely mechanism. The effect is significantly muted after a liberalization of the formal care market, which sharply increased the supply of foreign care workers.
