This study aims to examine the degree of long-term change in household incomes due to active TB by gender. We created data for the TB and control groups by linking the Korean National Tuberculosis Surveillance System (KNTSS) and National Health Information Database (NHID) and covariate-adjusted propensity score matching (PSM). We created longitudinal panel data from two years before TB diagnosis (t) to two years after TB diagnosis and analyzed the changes in household income deciles by gender and group using a difference in differences (DID) model. In men, there was a clear trend of declining income since time t in the TB group (DID coefficient\u2009=\u2009\u22120.131 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.132\u2009~\u2009\u22120.129), but there was no marked change in women. Subgroup analyses on the working-age population (20\u201365 years) (DID coefficient\u2009=\u2009\u22120.053, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.096\u2009~\u2009\u22120.010) and employee population (DID coefficient\u2009=\u2009\u22120.072, 95% CI\u2009=\u2009\u22120.110\u2009~\u2009\u22120.034) showed a trend of declining income in the female TB group. This study showed that there is a marked trend of declining income due to the diagnosis and treatment of active TB in men but not in women. This discrepancy may be attributable to the differences in gender roles in a patriarchal society and higher possibility of women moving out of the labor market after disease. There is a pressing need for comprehensive and universal implementation of health and social protection policies to alleviate the trend of social suffering caused by disease.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0334961","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,12]],"date-time":"2025-11-12T18:22:17Z","timestamp":1762971737000},"page":"e0334961","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Impact of active tuberculosis on social mobility and its gender differences: Difference in differences using nationwide tuberculosis surveillance data and national health insurance data"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Daseul","family":"Moon","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6260-0277","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Dawoon","family":"Jeong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Young Ae","family":"Kang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Gyeong In","family":"Lee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8853-7061","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hongjo","family":"Choi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,12]]},"reference":[{"issue":"12","key":"pone.0334961.ref001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2513","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2005.04.045","article-title":"Intragenerational mobility and mortality in Oslo: social selection versus social causation","volume":"61","author":"B Claussen","year":"2005","journal-title":"Soc Sci Med"},{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0334961.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"373","DOI":"10.1016\/0277-9536(91)90338-D","article-title":"Rethinking the health selection explanation for health inequalities","volume":"32","author":"P West","year":"1991","journal-title":"Soc Sci Med"},{"issue":"11","key":"pone.0334961.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2058","DOI":"10.2105\/AJPH.2006.100974","article-title":"Health selection among new immigrants","volume":"98","author":"IR Akresh","year":"2008","journal-title":"Am J Public Health"},{"key":"pone.0334961.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"153","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2017.11.026","article-title":"Adolescent mental health and behavioural problems, and intergenerational social mobility: A decomposition of health selection effects","volume":"197","author":"LR Anderson","year":"2018","journal-title":"Soc Sci Med"},{"issue":"4","key":"pone.0334961.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"339","DOI":"10.1177\/002214650604700403","article-title":"Health selection and the process of social stratification: the effect of childhood health on socioeconomic attainment","volume":"47","author":"SA Haas","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Health Soc Behav"},{"issue":"11","key":"pone.0334961.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2217","DOI":"10.1016\/S0277-9536(03)00097-2","article-title":"Health selection: the role of inter- and intra-generational mobility on social inequalities in health","volume":"57","author":"O Manor","year":"2003","journal-title":"Soc Sci Med"},{"issue":"10","key":"pone.0334961.ref007","first-page":"2090","article-title":"Effect of Health Shocks on Poverty Status in South Korea: Exploring the Mechanism of Medical Impoverishment","volume":"11","author":"C-O Kim","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int J Health Policy Manag"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0334961.ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"232","DOI":"10.1186\/s12889-022-12647-6","article-title":"Who loses more?
