Indikator kesehatan fisik tidak sepenting indikator kesehatan mental untuk memprediksi hasil masa depan anak-anak. Sayangnya, studi yang menyimpulkan kesimpulan kausal mengenai kondisi ekonomi pada kesehatan mental anak-anak langka dan umumnya diabaikan. Studi ini menjelaskan dampak transmisi antargenerasi pengangguran orang tua pada kebahagiaan anak-anak. Kami menemukan heterogenitas membedakan hasil kebahagiaan anak-anak ketika mereka terpapar pengangguran orang tua. Oleh karena itu, kepuasan hidup beberapa anak diuntungkan, sementara yang lain tidak.

Physical health indicators are not as important as mental health indicators when explaining children�s future outcomes. Sadly, studies concluding causal inferences concerning economic conditions on children's mental health are scarce and generally overlooked. This study shed light on the intergenerational transmission of parental unemployment on children's happiness. We found heterogeneities differentiated children's happiness outcome when they are exposed to parental unemployment. Therefore, some children's life satisfaction benefited, while the others do not.
