BACKGROUNDEnhancing the employment prospects of the long-term unemployed is a widely shared objective of many welfare reforms.However, welfare reforms may have unintended consequences for family dynamics.Previous guaranteed income experiments in North America led to a debate on their negative impact on marital outcomes.This question has not yet been tested in a Nordic welfare state. OBJECTIVEThis study evaluates the Finnish Basic Income Experimen…
A family affair? Long-term economic and mental health effects of spousal cancer
Research on the family spillover effects of health shocks, which has focused mainly on labor market outcomes, has yielded inconclusive results, with limited insight into long-term consequences or underlying mechanisms. We analyze the short- and long-term impacts of cancer on the unaffected spouse’s labor supply and mental health as well as marital stability, considering gender and relative income status within the households. Using population-bas…
Gender Inequality Reinforced
This article employs a couple-level framework to examine how a child's severe illness affects within-family gender inequality. We study parental labor market responses to a child's cancer diagnosis by exploiting an event-study methodology and rich individual-level administrative data on hospitalizations and labor market variables for the total population in Finland. We find that a child's cancer negatively affects the mother's and the father's la…
Did the Finnish depression of the early 1990s have a silver lining? The effect of unemployment on long-term physical activity

The study sample comprised residents of Northern Finland. The unemployed individuals were 23-26 years old during the downturn. Physical activity, measured by MET minutes and meeting WHO guidelines, was higher 15 years later among those people who exper…
