abstract: 'This paper utilizes a rich longitudinal data set-the Women Employment
|
||||
|
||||
Study (WES)-to investigate whether obesity, which is common among women
|
||||
|
||||
of low socioeconomic status, is a barrier to employment and earnings for
|
||||
|
||||
current and former welfare recipients. We find that former welfare
|
||||
|
||||
recipients who are both White and morbidly obese have been less
|
||||
|
||||
successful in transitioning from welfare to work. These women are less
|
||||
|
||||
likely to work at any survey wave, spend a greater percentage of months
|
||||
|
||||
between waves receiving cash welfare, and have lower monthly earnings at
|
||||
|
||||
each wave. The magnitude of the difference in labor market outcomes
|
||||
|
||||
between the morbidly obese and those who are less heavy is in some cases
|
||||
|
||||
similar in magnitude to the differences in these labor market outcomes
|
||||
|
||||
between high school dropouts and graduates. In contrast, we find no such
|
||||
|
||||
labor market differences associated with morbid obesity for
|
||||
|
||||
African-American respondents.
|
||||
|
||||
This paper documents the relationship between weight and labor market
|
||||
|
||||
outcomes for the first time among the welfare population. In addition,
|
||||
|
||||
it investigates whether the correlation for White females is due to
|
||||
|
||||
unobserved heterogeneity. We find that after controlling for individual
|
||||
|
||||
fixed effects, the point estimate of the correlation of morbid obesity
|
||||
|
||||
and each of the labor market outcomes falls considerably and is no
|
||||
|
||||
longer statistically significant. These results are consistent with
|
||||
|
||||
unobserved heterogeneity causing the correlation between morbid obesity
|
||||
|
||||
and labor market outcomes. Findings are similar after controlling for
|
||||
|
||||
the respondent''s mental and physical health. (c) 2005 by the Association
