In December 2010 Health Insurance in Uruguay was extended to the partners of workers in the formal labor market. This extension may have modified the incentives to participate in the formal and informal labor markets, potentially reducing overall participation or the share of individuals in the form...

| description |
In December 2010 Health Insurance in Uruguay was extended to the partners of workers in the formal labor market. This extension may have modified the incentives to participate in the formal and informal labor markets, potentially reducing overall participation or the share of individuals in the formal labor market whose partners were formally employed. Using a difference-in-differences methodology, effects of the Health Insurance expansion are estimated by comparing individuals affected by the policy over time with similar but unaffected individuals. We find negative and statistically significant effects: the policy extension reduces the share of the economically-active population in the formal labor market by 0.95 percentage points and women in formal employment in the private sector by 2.13 percentage points. In addition to these effects, we find significant heterogeneous effects by age, educational level, and the formality conditions of the partners. We also find an effect of the policy on occupation, though of smaller magnitude and not always statistically-significant. |

Esta extensión pudo haber modificado los incentivos laborales, estimulando una menor ocupación y formalidad de aquellos individuos que tuviesen una pareja con empleo formal. Mediante una metodología de diferencias en diferencias, se estiman los efectos de la expansión del seguro de salud comparando en el tiempo a las personas afectadas por la política con aquellas semejantes pero no afectadas. Se observa un efecto negativo y significativo de 0.95 puntos porcentuales de la expansión de la política sobre la formalidad para el total de la población económicamente activa, y un efecto negativo y significa- tivo de 2.13 puntos porcentuales cuando se observa únicamente a las mujeres asalariadas privadas. Además de diferencias según sexo, se encuentran efectos heterogéneos de acuerdo a la edad de las personas, nivel educativo y condición de formalidad de la pareja. También se encuentran efectos sobre la ocupación, aunque estos fueron de menor magnitud y no siempre significativos.application/pdfengUniversidad EAFIThttp://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ecos-economia/article/view/4182http://publicaciones.eafit.edu.co/index.php/ecos-economia/article/view/4182Copyright (c) 2016 Cecilia ParadaAcceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2instname:Universidad EAFITreponame:Repositorio Institucional Universidad EAFITEcos de Economía: A Latin American Journal of Applied Economics; Vol 20, No 43 (2016)Ecos de Economía: A Latin American Journal of Applied Economics; Vol 20, No 43 (2016)J21O17J16Labor supplyWork incentivesHealth insuranceIntra-household allocationsLabor supplyWork incentivesHealth insuranceIntra-household allocationsThe labor-supply effects of extending health insurance to workers’ partners: The experience of UruguayEfectos sobre la oferta de trabajo de la extensión del seguro de salud a cónyuges.
