Chronic illness impacts earning capacity, says research -GS Mudur

Study by researchers at International Institute of Population Sciences finds that health reasons account for 7 per cent of 3,213 people who stopped work for a year or longer

New Delhi: Chronic health disorders accounted for 30 per cent of decisions by a sample of middle-aged and elderly people in India to stop or curtail paid work, the country’s first-ever population-based study to estimate how chronic diseases impact productivity has found.

The study by researchers at the International Institute of Population Sciences (IIPS), Mumbai, found that health reasons accounted for 7 per cent of 3,213 people who stopped work for a year or longer and 23 per cent of 6,300 people who limited their work.

Their analysis has also shown that the proportion of people between 45 and 64 years who had stopped or curtailed their work was the highest (21 per cent) among victims of stroke, followed by neurological or psychiatric disorders (18 per cent), and chronic heart disease (13 per cent).

While multiple earlier studies have shown how health disorders can disrupt finances and lower the living standards of households, there has been a lack of adequate data on how chronic disorders can impact work productivity.
