Family structure and mental child health Mette Verner Trygfonden’s Centre for Child Research and KORA Kick off workshop AU Network of Public Mental Child Heath, December 2014

Economics of the family We estimate effects of family structure on economic outcomes of parents and their children Examples: Earnings= F(marital status, #children, X, ….) Years of schooling =F(lone parent, family income, parental education, X, Y, Z…..)

Identification of causal effects RCT not possible … Natural experiments, using variations in institutional settings like e.g. divorce laws

Mental health and divorce Economic consequences of divorce on children’s – school performance – completed education – labour market outcomes How do we interpret the causal effects estimated? What are the underlying mechanisms?

Mental health and divorce Various processes: Before : Conflicts between parents The decision to divorce: Communication to children The separation process: Parents physically split up After divorce: Conflicts and loyality problems

Mental health data Research in mental health gives understanding of who, when and how the divorce affects the most Mental health data combined with family structure makes it possible to investigate the underlying processes This makes it possible to develop and implement interventions, institutions and policies to help the children and families.
