Abstract: This paper analyzes the impacts of job displacement on earnings and mental health in Taiwan. Findings reveal an immediate 67%–68% earnings loss after displacement, with incomplete recovery after a decade. Mental health suffers in the long term, with 15%–16% more outpatient visits and 57%–62% higher medical costs.
