Misery loves company? A meta-regression examining aggregate unemployment rates and the unemployment-mortality association
2015, Annals of EpidemiologyCitation Excerpt :However, some scholars have suggested that this relationship may be moderated by the aggregate unemployment rates in a given place. More specifically, scholars have proposed that (when compared to their employed contemporaries) persons who become unemployed when the unemployment rate is high will have a lower relative risk for adverse health outcomes than persons who become unemployed when the unemployment rate is low [6–15]. In other words, the economic context in which a person becomes unemployed may influence the severity of the effects of being unemployed.
Do local unemployment rates modify the effect of individual labour market status on psychological distress?
2013, Health and PlaceCitation Excerpt :This study is concerned with investigating the extent to which the unemployment rate of the area in which an individual lives affects their level of psychological distress, and the extent to which this is dependent on their own labour market status. Ecological and cross-sectional studies have predominantly found a strong association between joblessness and psychological distress (Jackson and Warr, 1984; Warr and Jackson, 1987; Bartley et al., 2005; Novo et al., 2000; Theodossiou, 1998). Longitudinal studies have generally found that transitions from employment to unemployment are associated with an increase in psychological distress, whereas transitions from unemployment to employment predict improvement (Thomas et al., 2005; Montgomery et al., 1999; Wadsworth et al., 1999; Weich and Lewis, 1998).
