Abstract: Using Finnish data this paper examines to what extent the share of all nurses in unemployment,health care employment and being out of the labour market after the exam of a cohort have affectedthe long-run outcomes of the cohort. The shares are calculated for all cohorts and years and stan-dardised in each year by dividing the cohort specific rate with the average rate for all nurses. Thesestandardised variables are used as dependent variables. The long-term effects are significant at leastfor the unemployment and the depression have according to the estimates raised the long-run unem-ployment by more than 2 percentage points for the nurses graduating then. For the employment inthe health care industry the effects may be even larger but the estimates are more uncertain.
