Evidence on the relationship between unemployment and health

Abstract

"In this chapter we review recent studies on the impact of unemployment on individual health and well-being. We start the discussion with an overview of the theoretical background of the relationship between unemployment and well-being. Next, we summarize recent empirical studies with the objective to provide a basis for scholars who want to contribute to the literature in this field." (Author's abstract, IAB-Doku) ((en))
