摘要

现有研究表明,经济危机会对生命早期的短期健康产生不利影响,然而,对遭受经济危机影响的儿童和青少年的长期健康影响的研究仍然不足。我们研究了 20 世纪 90 年代初东德在婴儿期、儿童期和青少年期经历统一后经济危机对早期成人健康的影响。我们利用德国社会经济小组(SOEP)的数据及其与德国养老金记录(SOEP-RV)的联系,采用熵平衡和条件量子回归的方法,评估了来自东西德的 2,337 名年轻成年人(17-30 岁)在生命早期(0-17 岁)经历经济危机与身心健康影响(SF-12 总分)之间的关系。我们的研究结果表明,东德经济危机对受访者的身体健康没有明显影响,但对他们的心理健康有明显的负面影响,尤其是对心理健康水平一般或较好的年轻女性。父母失业是影响年轻女性心理健康的另一个风险因素。因此,我们认为,早年经历过经济危机的女性在成年早期受到不良心理健康影响的风险就会增加。因此,有必要在经济危机时期为家庭提供支持,并为面临经济困境的婴儿、儿童和青少年提供早期预防。

Scarred for Life? Early-Life Experience of the Post-Reunification Economic Crisis in East Germany and Physical and Mental Health Outcomes in Early Adulthood
Existing research suggests adverse short-term health effects of economic crises during early life, yet, the long-term health effects for children and adolescents exposed to economic crises are still understudied. We investigated the early-adult health implications of experiencing the post-reunification economic crisis in East Germany in the early 1990s during infancy, childhood and adolescence. Using data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (SOEP) and its linkage with German pension records (SOEP-RV), we applied entropy balancing and conditional quantile regression to assess the relationship between the experience of the economic crisis during early life (ages 0-17) and physical and mental health effects (SF-12 summary scores) in N = 2,337 young adults (aged 17-30) from East and West Germany. Our results indicate mainly no significant physical health effects, yet, significant adverse mental health effects for respondents exposed to the economic crisis in East Germany, especially in young women of average and better mental health. Parental unemployment was an additional risk factor for young women’s mental health. Thus, we suggest women who experienced economic crises during early life are at increased risk of adverse mental health effects already early in their adulthood. Support for families in times of economic crisis and early prevention for infants, children and adolescents exposed to economic adversities is warranted.
