Earnings losses in young‐onset dementia: Population‐based study with admin data
Working-age persons experience job loss at least 21 years before dementia identification. Job loss is linked to 59% (€16,643) earnings drop 16 years before dementia identification. Losses in earning were not fully compensated by social insurance. A generous social insurance system eases the financial impact of young-onset dementia. Attention is needed in the work environment and on disability benefit decisions.
