Labour market effects of activating sick-listed workers

Bénédicte Rouland (CSDA research fellow 2016-2018) and her co-authors use data from a large-scale randomized controlled trial conducted in Danish job centres to investigate the effects of activating sick-listed workers on subsequent labour market outcomes. Comparing treated and controls, the authors find an overall unfavourable effect on subsequent labour market outcomes.
