Payroll: Public enemy No. 1
A recent study by the American economist William Evans, reveals a strange correlation between mortality and paydays. According to the specialist at the University of Notre Dame, mortality tends to be the most important days of receipt of the pay slip.
In reaching this conclusion, the economist has peeled for three years, several million death certificates from four distinct demographic groups: older people receiving pensions, military families have benefited from a premium tax in 2001 and beneficiaries of a fund in Alaska.The results are final. For each of these groups, whatever the marital status of individuals, their income or age, the mortality rate recorded a jump in the week following receipt of payment. A significant increase as William Evans says as follows: "There is always an increase in economic activity, following pay day, and with them the leading causes of death, such as car accidents that follow in the transferred bars, and heart attacks.
