Implication

Observational analysis uncovers links between income and health in working-age populations, suggesting both employment selection and material resources shape outcomes.

Key Points

To examine the interrelationship between income, employment status, and health, evaluating the roles of health selection and material circumstances.
Evaluated the association between household income and self-perceived general health across varying employment states.
Controlled for employment status and long-term disability to differentiate health-based workforce selection from direct income effects, stratifying by sex.
The income-health association is substantially driven by the concentration of long-term disabled individuals in lower income strata due to employment exclusion.
Income remains positively associated with perceived general health even after adjusting for employment status, demonstrating an effect that persists most strongly among women.
