Brekke, Idunn & Reisel, Liza (2017). The impact of birthweight and adolescent health on educational attainment. Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research. 61(1), s 60- 75 . doi: 10.1080/00313831.2015.1066442 Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Show summary
This article examines the relationship between birthweight, adolescent health (general health and psychological distress) and high school completion in Norway, using survey data linked to longitudinal registry data (n = 5,354). The findings show that the positive association between birthweight and high school completion can be attributed to socioeconomic status. General adolescent health is explained by socioeconomic status combined with risk- and protective behavior. Psychological distress is mediated by having a close relationship with family and friends among the most affluent students, but not among the lower-income students. Among the lower-income students it was, instead, absence from school and feeling comfortable in class that mediated the association between psychological distress and high school completion, net of other factors.
Finseraas, Henning; Jakobsson, Niklas & Svensson, Mikael (2017). Do knowledge gains from public information campaigns persist over time? Results from a survey experiment on the Norwegian pension reform. Journal of Pension Economics and Finance. 16(1), s 108- 117 . doi: 10.1017/S1474747215000098 Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Show summary
Government authorities use resources on information campaigns in order to inform citizens about relevant policy changes. The motivation is usually that individuals sometimes are ill-informed about the public policies relevant for their choices. In a survey experiment where the treatment group was provided with public information material on the social security system, we assess the short- and medium-term knowledge effects. We show that the short run effects of the information on knowledge disappear completely within 4 months. The findings illustrate the limits of public information campaigns to improve knowledge about relevant policy reforms.
Brekke, Idunn & Nadim, Marjan (2017). Gendered effects of intensified care burdens: Employment and sickness absence in families with chronically sick or disabled children in Norway. Work, Employment and Society. 31(3), s 391- 408 . doi: 10.1177/0950017015625616 Fulltekst i vitenarkiv Show summary
Using longitudinal register data from Norway, the article examines the impact of having a child with intensified care needs on maternal and paternal employment, within a gender equality promoting welfare state. The hypothesis is that parents with a chronically sick or disabled child will have lower employment probabilities, lower labour earnings and higher sickness absence than parents with a healthy child, and that mothers are more affected than fathers when having a child with extra care needs. A quasi-experimental difference-in-difference regression model shows that the employment probabilities of parents with a sick or disabled child are comparable to those of parents with a healthy child, both for mothers and fathers. The analyses further reveal that having a chronically sick or disabled child reduces labour earnings and increases long-term sickness absence among mothers, while fathers’ labour earnings and sickness absence are less affected.
