Abstract

A rubella infection in early pregnancy poses a significant risk of damage to the foetus. In this paper, we examine the later-life impact of a rubella outbreak that occurred in Ireland in 1956. Matching the outcomes of individuals born in 1954–1957 in the 2016 Irish Census of Population to the county-level rubella incidence rate that was prevailing when respondents were in utero in early pregnancy, we find that one extra rubella case per 10,000 population is associated with between 0.4% and 1.2% point increases in the probability of having lower levels of educational attainment, being in poor health and having a disability in later life.

子宫内风疹暴露的长期影响

妊娠早期风疹感染会对胎儿造成严重损害。在本文中，我们研究了1956年发生在爱尔兰的风疹爆发的后期生活影响。将2016年爱尔兰人口普查中1954-1957年出生的个体的结果与受访者在妊娠早期子宫内时普遍存在的县级风疹发病率相匹配，我们发现，每10,000人中多一例风疹病例，受教育程度较低、健康状况不佳和晚年残疾的可能性增加0.4%至1.2%。

期刊介绍： Whilst the Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics publishes papers in all areas of applied economics, emphasis is placed on the practical importance, theoretical interest and policy-relevance of their substantive results, as well as on the methodology and technical competence of the research. Contributions on the topical issues of economic policy and the testing of currently controversial economic theories are encouraged, as well as more empirical research on both developed and developing countries.
