?:abstract
  • Based on new administrative data the paper investigates the role played by the length of sick leave-under severe health conditions-on the subsequent risk of leaving the job. Sickness absence is costly. Although it is an instrument designed by policymakers to prevent the potential income losses related to bad health, it is also a channel through which the employer receive negative signals in terms of productivity. When studying the link between health deterioration and labour market activity many institutional factors come into play. Hence, the Italian institutional setting-traditionally characterised by high levels of employment protection legislation (EPL), especially for open-ended contracts-is a good framework for this type of analysis. Results point out a significant, and negative, relationship between sick leave duration and the likelihood of a job-interruption: an additional week at home increases the risk of exit of about 1.6% each time. Surprisingly, age-related differences and firm dimension do not change the effect of extended sick leave. Overall, our findings question the effectiveness of employmentsupport and protection measures, especially when chronic conditions strongly discourage individuals’ working activity. (xsd:string)
