Summary
Income instability is a defining aspect of the lives of the poor, who also disproportionately suffer from poor mental and physical health. Our research is the first to assess the causal effects of predictable and unpredictable income instability on the psychological and physical health of the poor. It will advance the scientific knowledge on the effects of economic instability as well as our understanding of health disparities.
