We find that cohorts coming of age duri ng the deep recession of the early 1980s suffer increases in mortality tha t appear in their late 30s and further strengthen through age 50. We show these mortality impacts are driven by disease-related causes such as heart disease\, lung cancer\, and liver disease\, as well as drug overdoses. At the same time\, unlucky middle-aged labor market entrants earn less and w ork more while receiving less welfare support. They are also less likely t o be married\, more likely to be divorced\, and experience higher rates of childlessness. Our findings demonstrate that temporary disadvantages in t he labor market during young adulthood can have substantial impacts on lif etime outcomes\, can affect life and death in middle age\, and go beyond t he transitory initial career effects typically studied.\n DTSTART:20210224T190000Z DTEND:20210224T200000Z SUMMARY:Till von Wachter (UCLA)\, 'Socioeconomic Decline and Death: Midlife Impacts of Graduating in a Recession' URL:/economics/channels/event/till-von-wachter-ucla-so cioeconomic-decline-and-death-midlife-impacts-graduating-recession-328553 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
