摘要
不可预期的疾病是45岁以上中老年劳动者经常面临的健康风险冲击。个体的健康风险冲击将会对配偶的劳动供给行为带来两个方面的影响,一是配偶为了照护患病个体将会减少劳动供给;二是因患病消费增加,收入减少,配偶将会增加劳动供给。本文采用中国健康和养老追踪调查2011-2018纵向调查数据实证检验这两方面的效应。本文研究发现当女性遭受健康风险冲击后导致丈夫的劳动供给和收入均出现减少,说明为了照料患病个体配偶放弃了市场劳动,照料效应是影响丈夫劳动供给的主导机制。本文的研究为配偶劳动供给决策提出了理论和实证的机制解释,为研究夫妻之间的劳动供给行为提供了新的证据和见解。
Unexpected disease is the common health risk facing the workers over 45 years old and the health risk of the couple can result in significant effects of their spouse’ labor supply in two way: reduction of labor supply to take care of the patient, and the increase of labor supply because the economic pressure. Based on the panel data of the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey(2011-2018), this paper analyzes the changes of labor supply caused by the elderly suffering from stomach disease or other digestive system diseases as exogenous health risk. It finds that when wife has health suffering, the husband’s labor supply and income decreased in the same time, which indicates that the husband gave up some market labor to take care of sick wife and the caring effect is the dominant effect on spouse’s labor supply. The findings can provide theoretical and empirical mechanism explanation for spouse labor supply decision-making and a new evidence and causation of labor supply interaction between husband and wife.
