Arbeitslos – Gesundheit los – chancenlos?
Gesundheitlich eingeschränkte Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmer tragen ein höheres Risiko, entlassen zu werden, und sie bleiben überdurchschnittlich lange arbeitslos. Zudem kann Arbeitslosigkeit gesundheitliche Probleme auslösen oder verstärken. Auch die wahrgenommene Unsicherheit des eigenen Arbeitsplatzes hat bereits deutlich negative Auswirkungen auf die Gesundheit.
Dieses Themendossier bietet Informationen zum Zusammenhang von Arbeitslosigkeit und Gesundheit. Im Filter „Autorenschaft“ können Sie auf IAB-(Mit-)Autorenschaft eingrenzen.

Abstract
"The cross-sectional association between pain and unemployment is well-established. But the absence of panel data containing data on pain and labor market status has meant less is known about the direction of any causal linkage. Those longitudinal studies that do examine the link between pain and subsequent labor market transitions suggest results are sensitive to the measurement of pain and model specification We contribute to this literature using large-scale panel data from the German Socio-Economic Panel (GSOEP) for the period 2002 to 2018. We show that pain leads to job loss. Workers suffering pain are more likely than others to leave their job for unemployment or economic inactivity. This probability rises with the frequency of the pain suffered in the previous month. The effect persists having accounted for fixed unobserved differences across workers, is apparent among those who otherwise report good general health and is robust to the inclusion of controls for mental health, life satisfaction and the employee’s occupation."

Raftopoulou, Athina & Nicholas Giannakopoulos (2021): Unemployment and health: a panel event study. (GLO discussion paper / Global Labor Organization 981), Essen, 13 S.
Abstract
"Adopting a panel event study framework, we estimate the effect of unemployment on health outcomes by exploiting the variation in the timing of entering unemployment using longitudinal data for Greece. We find, that in the periods ahead of an unemployment event, health outcomes decline and unmet needs for medical care increase. These findings are valid only for men and are robust to alternative definitions of health outcomes, unemployment events and model specifications." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Der Beitrag untersucht die Auswirkungen der Covid-19-Pandemie und zweier Lockdowns auf die psychische Gesundheit und das subjektive Wohlbefinden von Beschäftigten in Deutschland. Hierzu wird mit Daten eines monatlichen Panels von Individualdaten von Dezember 2018 bis Dezember 2020 ein Event-Study-Design mit individualspezifischen Fixeffekten geschätzt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die erste und die zweite Welle der Pandemie die psychische Gesundheit von Arbeitnehmerinnen und Arbeitnehmern erheblich reduziert hat. Auch das momentane Glücksempfinden und die Lebenszufriedenheit nehmen als Reaktion auf Covid-19 ab, jedoch in geringerem Maße. Dabei ist zwischen den Wellen der Pandemie Adaption zu beobachten. Dies gilt in geringerem Maße für Indikatoren des Wohlbefindens in bestimmten Lebensbereichen, wie die Zufriedenheit mit der Arbeit und mit der Freizeit, die ebenfalls negativ beeinflusst werden. Frauen scheinen keine größeren Verluste an Wohlbefinden zu erleiden als Männer. Beschäftigte in Kurzarbeit sind jedoch besonders stark betroffen. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass größere Sorgen in Bezug auf die Zukunft und eingeschränkte persönliche Freiheiten zu den Treibern für die Auswirkungen der Pandemie auf das Wohlbefinden gehören."

Abstract
"Using individual monthly panel data from December 2018 to December 2020, we estimate the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic and two lockdowns on the mental health and subjective well-being of German workers. Employing an event-study design using individual-specific fixed effects, we find that the first and the second wave of the pandemic reduced workers’ mental health substantially. Momentary happiness and life satisfaction also decline in response to Covid-19, but to a smaller extent. We observe adaptation in our study outcomes between waves of the pandemic. This applies to a lesser extent to indicators of well-being in certain areas of life, such as satisfaction with the job and with leisure, which are negatively affected, too. Women do not seem to suffer greater well-being losses than men. However, workers in the German short-time work scheme are particularly negatively affected. Our results imply that increased anxiety about the future and restricted personal freedoms are among the drivers of the well-being impact of the pandemic." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Die Bedeutung von Beschäftigungsfähigkeit für die arbeitsmarktintegrative Gesundheitsförderung (2021)

Seiler, Kai (2021): Die Bedeutung von Beschäftigungsfähigkeit für die arbeitsmarktintegrative Gesundheitsförderung. In: A. Hollederer (Hrsg.) (2021): Gesundheitsförderung bei Arbeitslosen, S. 58-76.
Abstract
"Der Erhalt und die Förderung von Beschäftigungsfähigkeit ist im Zusammenhang mit arbeitsmarktbezogenen Konzepten in den letzten Jahren ein prominenter, aber auch äußerst facettenreicher Begriff geworden. Vielfach wird dabei ein funktionales Verständnis im Sinne der optimalen Anpassung von erwerbsfähigen Personen an Rahmenbedingungen des Arbeitsmarktes zugrunde gelegt. Diese Betrachtung wird dem komplexen Geschehen jedoch nicht gerecht - vor allem vor dem Hintergrund der Dynamik in Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft sowie teils damit verbundenen Brüchen in Berufsbildung- und Erwerbsbiografien. Die Förderung von Gesundheit sowie der Zugang zu Versorgungsstrukturen des Gesundheitswesens sind dabei eine basale Voraussetzung für ein dauerhaftes Tätigsein-Können im Beruf sowie für Integrationsprozesse in den Arbeitsmarkt. Bei etwaigen Maßnahmen hierzu sollte deswegen ein umfassender Begriff von Beschäftigungsfähigkeit herangezogen werden. Die Förderung und der Erhalt der Beschäftigungsfähigkeit ist sowohl eine gesellschaftliche, unternehmensbezogene als auch eine individuelle Aufgabe und als solche prinzipiell gestaltbar. Beschäftigungsfähigkeit im hier verstandenen Sinne dürfte ein hilfreicherer und nachhaltigerer Indikator für den Erfolg arbeitsmarktintegrativer Maßnahmen sein, als die reine Erfassung des Gesundheitsstatus oder der Vermittlungsquote."

Abstract
"Reducing social assistance dependency is high on the political agenda; labour market and social exclusion of youth, in particular, has been considered worrisome. With these policy objectives and societal considerations in mind we set to study the association between health problems, with a specific focus on mental health, and the duration of social assistance receipt among young adults in Finland. Our analyses are based on rich register data encompassing the total population in the metropolitan area of Finland from 2005 to 2016. We follow a cohort of new social assistance recipients (n=36,728) aged 18–34 for a maximum of 60 months using Cox proportional hazard model. The results show a strong association between mental health problems and duration of social assistance receipt. The association was the strongest among those aged 18–24. Some differences in the strength of the association were found for different psychiatric diagnoses. On the other hand, somatic diagnoses were only weakly associated with duration of social assistance receipt. Mental health problems appear to be an important obstacle for exiting social assistance and this should be taken into account when governments aim to decrease welfare dependency and reform the last-resort financial aid."

Abstract
"Active Labour Market Programmes (ALMPs), which form important components of employment support policies around the world, have been found to improve mental health and wellbeing of participants. However, it remains unclear how these health effects compare with the effects of different types of employment for men and women. Using 1991?2019 panel data in the UK, we find that unemployed women derive similar mental health benefits from ALMPs compared with employment. Unemployed men also benefit from ALMPs but obtain significantly more health benefits from formal employment. Such benefits are particularly pronounced in full-time, permanent and upper/middle-status jobs. Further analyses reveal that programmes that deliver human capital training have larger mental health benefits than employment assistance ALMPs. These findings provide a more nuanced understanding of the mental health impacts of ALMPs compared with different types of employment, and highlight the need for a more gender-sensitive design in labour market interventions."

Abstract
"International social security systems increasingly place work-related conditions on individuals claiming out-of-work benefits, and enforce requirements through the use of benefit sanctions. The literature on the impacts of benefit sanctions considers both labour market and wider social effects, which this study contributes to through a focus on mental health. It considers the period of Coalition government (2010–15) in the UK, which imposed a comparatively high number of benefit sanctions and increased their severity through the Welfare Reform Act 2012. A longitudinal dataset is constructed using quarterly local authority-level data on Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) sanctions and antidepressant prescriptions in England. Results from fixed effects analyses indicate that, in the post-reform period, every 10 additional sanctions are associated with 4.57 additional antidepressant prescribing items (95% CI: 2.14 to 6.99), which translates to approximately one additional person receiving treatment. Importantly, this finding indicates that sanctions are associated with both adverse mental health impacts and wider public expenditure implications, which motivates further investigation at the individual-level. In addition, punitive sanctions form a core part of the new Universal Credit (UC) and so the results suggest the need to reassess the use of sanctions within the contemporary social security system."

Abstract
"Internationally, policymakers assume that sanctioning claimants of unemployment benefits will engender both improved employment outcomes and wider positive effects. A growing evidence-base challenges these expectations, though additional insight is needed from large-scale longitudinal research. This article contributes by conducting a quantitative investigation into the mental health impacts of benefit sanctions. To do so, it focuses on a recent period in UK sanctions policy in which rates of sanctions varied markedly and their length was substantially increased. Using quarterly panel data for local authorities in England (Q3 2010-Q4 2014) and fixed effects models that control for important confounders, the analysis provides robust evidence that Jobseeker's Allowance (JSA) sanctions lead to increases in self-reported anxiety and depression. Evidence of this adverse impact is particularly clear following the increase in the length of sanctions in October 2012. The results have important implications for contemporary social security policy, which is underpinned by a similarly punitive sanctions regime. Whilst additional individual-level research is needed to fully consider the causal relationships in operation, the findings support a precautionary approach that should seek to minimise the harm associated with sanctions. This implies taking steps to reduce both the severity and frequency of applied sanctions." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku, Published by arrangement with John Wiley & Sons) ((en))

Unemployment Disrupts Sleep (2020)

Abstract
"Although there is a substantial literature indicating that unemployment and joblessness have profound adverse impacts on individuals' health and wellbeing, there is relatively little evidence of their impact on sleep. Using data for over 3.5 million individuals in the United States over the period 2006-2019 from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) survey series we show sleep disruption patterns that vary by labor market status. We look at sleep measured by hours in a day and days in a month and whether sleep is disturbed over a fortnight, as indicated by problems falling or staying asleep or staying asleep too much. We find the short-term unemployed suffer more short and long sleep than the employed and are more likely to suffer from disturbed sleep. These problems are greater still for the long-term unemployed and for the jobless who say they are unable to work." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"This report introduces the German Job Search Panel, a longitudinal survey that follows people who register as job seeking over the course of up to two years. The focus of the survey is on job seekers’ well-being and health. An innovative survey app is used to allow for frequent measurement every month and for conducting the experience sampling method. The collected data may be linked to administrative records of the Federal Employment Agency, provided that people give their consent. A subsample of surveyed job seekers took part in hair sampling to measure their cortisol levels. In this report, we describe the sampling procedure, adjustments over the recruitment period and the collected data. We moreover examine selective participation in the panel. It turns out that high-skilled workers, young individuals and women were more likely to sign up. Age increases the probability to take part in the hair sampling. People working in East Germany were more likely to consent to the linkage of survey data and administrative records." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Social integration is considered crucially important for understanding the adverse effect of unemployment on mental health. Social integration is assumed to either bring about the health effects of unemployment (causal pathway hypothesis) or shield the unemployed from such effects (buffering hypothesis). However, there is scarce empirical evidence, especially based on panel data, regarding these two hypotheses. In our analysis, we use up to ten waves of the 'Labour Market and Social Security' (PASS) German panel study and apply fixed effects panel regressions to account for unobserved confounders. We test several indicators that cover different aspects of social integration (numbers of strong and weak ties, conflict in the household, employed friends, general and job search-specific social support). We find no empirical support for the causal pathway hypothesis and only very limited support for the buffering hypothesis." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))

Abstract
"Since the 1990s, most European countries have implemented activation policies targeting the unemployed. During the past decade, the target group for activation policies expanded and currently also includes persons with limitations in their ability to work due to long-term or chronic illness and disabilities. The argument underlying these policies is that labour-market exclusion is the main cause for social marginalization because participation in paid work provides important social and psychological functions that cannot be found elsewhere. Based on an extensive set of quantitative data that combines register data and survey data, and using structural equation modelling, this paper analyses the relationship between chronic illness and social marginalization, and in particular which role labour-market exclusion plays in this relationship. Is labour-market exclusion a crucial factor in explaining why individuals with chronic illnesses face a higher risk of social marginalization if factors such as income and education are also taken into account? From the statistical results, the paper states that individuals with chronic illnesses face a far higher risk of social marginalization, but that this risk is caused by their health limitations and not by their lack of labour-market participation. Contrary to the policies' logic and the theoretical argument of psycho-social theories originating from the deprivation perspective, no direct, indirect or mediating effects of labour-market exclusion on social marginalization were identified."

Abstract
"Ziel
Die Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA) und die Gesetzliche Krankenversicherung (GKV) haben die Verzahnung von Arbeits- und Gesundheitsförderung erprobt, um durch ein gemeinsames Vorgehen Erwerbslose mit Präventionsangeboten zu erreichen und ihre Beschäftigungsfähigkeit zu erhalten bzw. zu verbessern.
Methodik
Die Erwerbslosen wurden in motivierenden Gesundheitsgesprächen für ihre Gesundheit sensibilisiert und auf freiwilliger Basis zu Gesundheitsförderungsangeboten der Krankenkassen vermittelt. Erprobt wurden im Rahmen des Settingansatzes Kommune 3 Ansprache-Varianten, bei denen die Beratung durch die Integrationsfachkräfte der Jobcenter, beauftragte Bildungsträger oder die BA-eigenen Fachdienste erfolgte. Dreh- und Angelpunkt waren die Steuerungsgruppen an den 6 Modellstandorten aus Vertretern des Jobcenters und der Krankenkassen sowie weiteren kommunalen Akteuren.
Ergebnisse
Die 3 Ansprachevarianten sowie die durchgeführten Angebote waren durchweg erfolgreich: Die Erwerbslosen nahmen das Beratungsangebot der Jobcenter an; die spezifisch auf Erwerbslose ausgerichteten Präventionsangebote der Krankenkassen haben deutliche Erfolge vor allem bei der Stressreduktion und damit auch beim Erhalt der Beschäftigungsfähigkeit gezeigt.
Schlussfolgerung
Durch die Aufnahme wesentlicher Elemente dieses Ansatzes in die Bundesrahmenempfehlungen der Nationalen Präventionskonferenz vom 19.02.2016 ist die Basis für eine Weiterentwicklung und Verbreitung geschaffen." (Autorenreferat, IAB-Doku) -

Abstract
"Despite active aging discourses and labor force integration goals, unemployment and dependency on welfare institutions among older workers still prevails, especially among vulnerable groups like immigrants or women. However, little is known about how older immigrants understand or cope with unemployment. The present study investigates the interplay between age, gender and immigrant status in making sense of unemployment and reemployment barriers. Episodic interviews were conducted with 12 Russian-speaking and 12 Turkish unemployed immigrants living in Germany. Older unemployed immigrants perceived age as an important barrier for reemployment and used old age to make sense of their unemployment, setting the stage for the internalization of negative age stereotypes. Gender norms may be less important than age perceptions in the context of unemployment. Different intervention alternatives are discussed in relation to the immigrant unemployed aging groups studied." (Author's abstract, © Springer-Verlag) ((en))

Abstract
"This article provides new evidence on the relationship between benefit conditionality and mental health. Using data on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families policies (TANF) - the main form of poverty relief in the United States - it explores whether the mental health of low-educated single mothers varies according to the stringency of conditionality requirements attached to receipt of benefit. Specifically, the article combines state-level data on sanctioning practices, work requirements and welfare-to-work spending with health data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System and evaluates the impact of conditionality on mental health over a fifteen-year period (2000 to 2015). It finds that states that have harsher sanctions, stricter job search requirements and higher expenditure on welfare-to-work policies, have worse mental health among low-educated single mothers. There is also evidence that between-wave increases in the stringency of conditionality requirements are associated with deteriorations in mental health among the recipient population. It is suggested that these findings may reflect an overall effect of 'intensive conditionality', rather than of the individual variables per se. The article ends by considering the wider implications for policy and research." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
