abstract = {In this paper we investigate to what extent alcohol dependent individuals fare worse in the Finnish labour market, using data from a large Finnish health survey. We used the ICD-10 criteria for alcohol dependence assessed by a structured diagnostic interview (CIDI). We find that there are substantial disadvantages for alcohol dependent men and women in the labour market, in the sense that they have lower employment probabilities. Treating alcohol dependence as an exogenous variable, we find that alcohol dependence is associated with a decrease in the probability of full time work of around 15% for men and 13% for women. However, accounting for endogeneity increases the negative effect to some 20-25% for men and to some 40-50% for women. \textendash{} Alcohol ; alcoholism ; employment ; Finland --  -- Tutkimus tarkastelee alkoholiriippuvaisten henkil\"{o}iden asemaa suomalaisilla ty\"{o}markkinoilla hy\"{o}dynt\"{a}en suurta terveyskyselyaineistoa. Alkoholiriippuvuutta  mitataan strukturoidun kyselymenetelm\"{a}n (CIDI) avulla rakennetulla ICD-mitalla. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin, ett\"{a} alkoholiriippuvaisilla miehill\"{a} ja naisilla on huomattavasti ei-alkoholiriippuvaisia miehi\"{a} ja naisia alhaisempi todenn\"{a}k\"{o}isyys olla kokop\"{a}iv\"{a}ty\"{o}ss\"{a}. K\"{a}sitelt\"{a}ess\"{a} alkoholiriippuvuutta eksogeenisena muuttujana, havaittiin ett\"{a} alkoholiriippuvaisilla miehill\"{a} on 15% ja alkoholiriippuvaisilla naisilla on 13% alhaisempi todenn\"{a}k\"{o}isyys olla kokop\"{a}iv\"{a}ty\"{o}ss\"{a}. Huomioiden ilmeinen alkoholiriippuvuuden endogeenisuus, havaittiin ett\"{a} miehill\"{a} on 20-25% ja naisilla 40-50% alhaisempi todenn\"{a}k\"{o}isyys olla kokop\"{a}iv\"{a}ty\"{o}ss\"{a}.},
