Child health shocks can generate substantial family-level costs, especially when treatment requires considerable parental involvement. This paper studies the effect of adolescent eating disorders on parents’ work absences, health, and labor-market outcomes, using linked Swedish registry data. Eating disorders are common, increasingly diagnosed, and treatment often requires substantial parental involvement. To study the short-run effects among families which face an eating disorder diagnosis, I use a stacked difference-in-differences design that exploits monthly variation in age at diagnosis. Both parents increase care-related leave, with increases twice as large for mothers as for fathers during the month of diagnosis and the following six months. During this period, mothers are 13.5% more likely to take extended sick leave and 7.5% more likely to receive mental health-related prescriptions in a given month. In contrast, no significant health-related effects are observed for fathers in the full sample. To study longer-run labor-market effects and corroborate the within-diagnosed findings, I also match treated families to otherwise comparable families without any eating disorder diagnoses. Maternal wage income falls by about 3.7% in the year of diagnosis and the following year, but the decline does not persist beyond this period. I find no evidence of overall paternal earnings losses. Patterns in the heterogeneity analyses are less consistent with household specialization based on relative earnings than with gendered household preferences. The findings reveal sizable and unequal parental costs of adolescent eating disorders, but no evidence of persistent labor market scarring or health effects.
