The Effect Of Health Insurance On Young Adults' Labor Market Outcomes: Evidence From The Affordable Care Act's Dependent Coverage Expansion, Quazi Hassan

Theses and Dissertations

The Affordable Care Act’s dependent coverage mandate extended young adults’ parental coverage to age 26. I study the expansion’s impact on young adults’ labor market outcomes using a control function method. Following the expansion, I find dependent coverage lowered labor force participation, lowered incomes, and mixed evidence regarding labor supply.

The Effect Of Health Insurance On Workers' Compensation Filing: Evidence From The Affordable Care Act's Age-Based Threshold For Dependent Coverage, Marcus O. Dillender

Upjohn Institute Working Papers

This paper identifies the effect of health insurance on workers' compensation (WC) filing for young adults by implementing a regression discontinuity design using WC medical claims data from Texas. The results suggest health insurance factors into the decision to have WC pay for discretionary care. The implied instrumental variables estimates suggest a 10 percentage point decrease in health insurance coverage increases WC bills by 15.3 percent. Despite the large impact of health insurance on the number of WC bills, the additional cost to WC at age 26 appears to be small as most of the increase comes from small bills.

Ishwar Khatiwada

During the past few years, the Center for Labor Market Studies of Northeastern University has been engaged in a diverse array of research activities focused on changing labor market conditions for the teens of the nation and young adults (those 16-24 years old) from the late 1980s to the present. Employment rates for teens fell considerably from 2000 through 2004 and remained at low levels for most of the past two years despite relatively strong overall job growth. The annual average employment rates for teens in 2004 and 2005 were the lowest in the last 57 years. Among the objectives …

The Continued Collapse Of The Nation's Teen Job Market And The Dismal Outlook For The 2008 Summer Labor Market For Teens : Does Anybody Care?, Andrew Sum, Joseph Mclaughlin, Ishwar Khatiwada

Ishwar Khatiwada

The deterioration of national labor market conditions has accelerated the collapse of the teen job market across the country. Teen employment rates have been declining sharply since the fall of 2006, well before the national job market began to deteriorate, and the drop has accelerated in recent months.

The Collapse Of The National Teen Job Market And The Case For An Immediate Summer And Year Round Youth Jobs Creation Program, Andrew Sum, Ishwar Khatiwada, Joseph Mclaughlin

Ishwar Khatiwada

Deteriorating teen employment rates during a growing national labor market is unprecedented. Declines in teen employment rates over the past seven years (2000-2007) have been widespread across age, gender, race-ethnic, educational attainment, household income, and geographic subgroups.

This research report examines the outcomes of the summer 2006 job market for the teenagers of the nation utilizing newly released CPS survey public use files and published data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The report will begin by examining the summer 2006 employment rate for all teens (16-19), compare the summer 2006 employment rates of teens with those of previous summers over the past two decades, and analyze variations in teen employment rates across gender, race-ethnic, and household income groups. The final two sections of the paper will provide estimates of the number of unutilized and underutilized …

The Projected Summer 2007 Teen Job Outlook For The Nation's Teens And The Case For A Federally-Funded Summer Jobs Creation Program, Andrew Sum, Robert Taggart, Joseph Mclaughlin

Andrew Sum

Following the end of the 1990s national labor market boom in early 2001, the labor market for the teens of the nation deteriorated considerably over the next four years. Employment opportunities fell far more sharply for teens than for any other age group, and they have not improved to any substantive degree over the past three years (2004-2006) despite renewed wage and salary job growth across the country. The overall teen employment rate (36.6%) in the past three years (2004-2006) was the lowest in the past 60 years.

The Summer Teen Job Market In 2005 And The Predicted Outlook For 2006: Implications Of Summer Employment For Jobs For America’S Graduate's Programs, Joseph Mclaughlin, Andrew Sum, Neeta Fogg

Andrew Sum

The paper will begin with a brief review of the employment concepts and measures underlying all of the employment estimates appearing in this paper and the data sources used to generate these teen employment rate estimates. Trends in the employment rates of the teens of the nation from the summer of 1979 through the summer of 2005 will be presented and analyzed. We will show that the summer 2005 employment rate for teens tied the summer of 2004 as the lowest on record since 1948 when the national, CPS historical employment data series for teens begins. We will supplement findings …

National Teen Summer Employment Rate Drops To New Low, Summer 2007 Lowest June-July Employment Rate For Teens In Post-World War Ii History, Black And Low Income Teens Face Bleakest Job Prospects, Andrew Sum, Joseph Mclaughlin

Andrew Sum

The labor market for the teens of the nation weakened considerably during the first six months of this year despite continued employment growth for older working age adults. The seasonally adjusted teen employment rate during the January-June period of 2007 was nearly two full percentage points below its value during the same six month period in 2006. Based on the weakening job prospects for teens, earlier this year, the Center for Labor Market Studies of Northeastern University projected that the summer job market (June-August) for the teens of the nation would likely be tied for the post-World War II historical …

Multiethnic Labor Markets And Socioeconomic Mobility : A Career Trajectory Perspective, Jeremy F. Pais

Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)

In the United States, high rates of immigration have once again raised important questions concerning the effect of ethnic diversity on patterns of socioeconomic mobility and levels of inequality between racial and ethnic groups. However, despite the potential effect of immigration and ethnic diversity on racial and ethnic stratification within multiethnic societies, research has yet to provide an examination of the impact of these factors on patterns of social mobility over the life course. While prior research focuses extensively on metropolitan area characteristics related to contemporaneous race and ethnic labor market disparities, the primary contribution of this research is to …

Dynamics Of The Australian Youth Labour Market : The 1975 Cohort, 1996-2000, Gary Marks, Kylie Hillman, Adrian Beavis

LSAY Research Reports

Over the last three decades, the transition from full-time education to full-time work has been characterised as problematic for a significant proportion of young adults. It is often argued that a high proportion of young people continually move between unemployment, part-time work, low status full-time work and withdrawal from the labour force. Young people are viewed as ‘significant losers’ from changes in the labour force that have occurred over recent decades (Spierings, 1999).

This report focuses on labour market dynamics between the ages of 20 and 25 for a cohort of young people born in 1975. The early 20s is …
