Mental illnesses - such as schizophrenia, affective disorders, and
personality disorders - are associated with heavy economic and
non-economic burdens. This study paper examines the relationship
between socioeconomic status in early childhood and the probability
of developing schizophrenia, affective disorders, and personality
disorders. The study looks at Danish men born in 1981 and have
control for family factors one year before the birth of the child.
The results show that men born in low-income families are more
likely to be hospitalized with affective disorders. Men born in
families where the father was not employed at the child's birth are
more likely to be hospitalized with schizophrenia or personality
disorder, compared with men born in families where the father was
employed as wage-earner. In general, few people in the population
have a severe mental illness and, consequently, the probability of
developing a severe mental illness is low. However, the relative
differences in the predicted probability of developing a mental
illness are large when comparing children who grew up families with
average characteristics with children who grew up in families with
low socioeconomic status - i.e., household income is low, parental
education is basic, and parental occupational status is not
employed.
