Estimating the effect of satisfaction with working conditions on employee health

The study investigates the effect of satisfaction with working conditions on health of the Russian working population, disaggregated by gender and age groups. The author uses a copula-based recursive system of binary equations. It allows to account for the endogeneity of working conditions satisfaction and to consider different partial distributions of random errors and their dependence structure as separate tasks. The findings indicate that satisfaction with working conditions plays a protective role in maintaining employee health, with age differentiation in effect size, particularly among male individuals.
