Abstract in brief

  • This study explores how ADHD affects employment, income, and wealth later in life in the U.S., and it examines whether education level plays a role in this relationship.
  • Researchers used the polygenic risk score (PRS) for ADHD to avoid bias from diagnosis and treatment issues, finding that higher PRS is linked to lower employment and income, and higher reliance on social benefits.
  • The findings suggest that education significantly mediates these effects, meaning that improving educational attainment could help mitigate the negative labor market outcomes associated with ADHD.]
