Abstract
AbstractThis study aims to estimate the causal impact of detrimental working conditions on the self‐reported disabilities in France. Using a retrospective lifelong panel, we implement a mixed econometric strategy that relies on difference‐in‐differences and matching methods to take into account for selection biases as well as unobserved heterogeneity. Deleterious effects from exposure on disability are found, depending on the nature and magnitude of the strains. These results provide insights into the debate on legal retirement age postponement and justify policies being enacted early in individuals' careers, but also schemes that are more focused on psychosocial risk factors.
