About this document
Health Impacts of Unemployment and Underemployment by Amna Altammar is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document reviews the relationship between health and unemployment. It finds that poor health can lead to job loss, but unemployment can also negatively impact physical and mental health. Studies show unemployment is associated with increased rates of suicide, depression, and substance abuse. Few interventions have aimed to prevent or reduce the health effects of job loss. Underemployment, like involuntary part-time work, can also negatively impact health but has been less studied.
