abstract: 'This paper introduces a framework for modelling the impact that diabetes

  has on employment status and wages, improving the existing literature by

  controlling for diabetes-related complications. Using the last wave of

  the Spanish National Health Survey, we find that 1710 adults out of the

  original sample of 36,087 have diabetes, reporting higher rates of

  unemployment. Our empirical results suggest that persons with diabetes,

  compared with non-diabetic persons, have poorer labor outcomes in terms

  of length of unemployment and lower income. However, diabetes is not

  significantly associated with unemployment probabilities, suggesting

  that the burden of diabetes on employment is mediated by lifestyle

  factors and clinical and functional complications. In addition, there

  are mixed outcomes to this econometric approach, depending on age and

  gender, among other factors. This interesting finding has several

  implications for research and policy on strategies to get lower health

  inequalities. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.'
