The long-term effects of the depression on the labour market outcomes for nurses
Abstract
Using Finnish data this paper examines to what extent the share of all nurses in unemployment, health care employment and being out of the labour market after the exam of a cohort have affected the long-run outcomes of the cohort. The shares are calculated for all cohorts and years and standardised in each year by dividing the cohort specific rate with the average rate for all nurses. These standardised variables are used as dependent variables. The long-term effects are significant at least for the unemployment and the depression have according to the estimates raised the long-run unemployment by more than 2 percentage points for the nurses graduating then. For the employment in the health care industry the effects may be even larger but the estimates are more uncertain.
