Abstract:
:One year after the closure of a furniture factory the health consequences of long-term unemployment were studied among the 215 former employees and an interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to measure psychological health, self-perceived physical health and health service use. Those remaining unemployed 12 months after the closure were found to be 8 times more likely to report poor psychological health than were the re-employed (Odds ratio (OR): 8.5; 95% CI: 4.2-17.0). Self-reported physical ill-health was generally thought be respondents to be due to former work (56 percent of all disorders were related by subjects to former work history) and was also found to be associated with current employment status (OR 5.6; 95% CI: 2.7-11.5). Health services were over-utilized by the unemployed (OR 2.2; 95% CI: 1.2-4.1) and this differential was demonstrated to be even greater for the older and those reporting more diseases. Given the increasing proportion of long term unemployed in many Western countries this health service over-utilization will impose a substantial burden on public health expenditures unless other means of psychological and social support are provided.
