Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is one of the leading causes of death from an infectious disease, but its micro‐economic impacts on labour market participation remain poorly understood. We analyse the relationship between TB and employment outcomes in South Africa, one of the countries with the highest TB disease burden worldwide, using individual‐level panel data from 2008 to 2017. Applying a coarsened exact matching methodology, we find that contracting TB entails a 5% lower probability of entering the formal labour market. Moreover, TB and its associated employment changes go hand in hand with corresponding reductions in individual income but not in household income and expenditure.

结核病与劳动力市场参与：南非的证据

结核病（TB）是传染病致死的主要原因之一，但人们对其对劳动力市场参与的微观经济影响仍然知之甚少。南非是全球结核病负担最重的国家之一，我们利用 2008 年至 2017 年的个人层面面板数据分析了结核病与就业结果之间的关系。应用粗略的精确匹配方法，我们发现，感染肺结核会导致进入正规劳动力市场的概率降低 5%。此外，肺结核及其相关的就业变化与个人收入的相应减少同步，但与家庭收入和支出的减少无关。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
