Question

What are some of the physical and psychological effects of unemployment?

According to researchers Backhans & Hemmingsson, unemployment is related to physical problems (such as heart attack and stroke), mental problems (such as depression and anxiety), marital difficulties, and homicide. A 15-year longitudinal study of more than 24,000 adults conducted by Lucas & others in 2004 found that life satisfaction dropped considerably following unemployment and increased after becoming reemployed, but did not completely return to the life satisfaction level previous to being unemployed. A recent research review conducted by Roelfs & others in 2011 concluded that unemployment was associated with an increased mortality risk for individuals in the early and middle stages of their careers, but the increase was less pronounced for those who became unemployed late in their careers.
