Recessions and the Costs of Job Loss (2011, neutral): “The available evidence indicates that job displacement also raises mortality rates in countries with universal public health insurance systems and generous social welfare systems, such as Sweden (Eliason and Storrie 2009) and Norway (Rege, Telle, and Votruba 2009).”
Why are the unemployed in worse health? The causal effect of unemployment on health (2011, background): “There are also studies that do find strong effects of involuntary job loss on subsequent mortality (e.g., Sullivan and von Wachter, 2009; Eliason and Storrie, 2009).”
Explaining Social Policy Preferences: Evidence from the Great Recession (2013, background): “Moreover, the literature offers evidence that in addition to sizable losses in income, unemployment spells are also associated with serious stress-related health issues (e.g., Burgard, Brand, and House 2007; Eliason and Storrie 2009; Sullivan and von Wachter 2009).”
The Relationship Between Workplace Stressors and Mortality and Health Costs in the United States (2016, methodology): “Evidence suggests that the adverse health effects of job loss persist even after people find new jobs (Eliason and Storrie 2009, Strully 2009).”
Effects of Economic Uncertainty on Mental Health in the COVID-19 Pandemic Context: Social Identity Disturbance, Job Uncertainty and Psychological Well-Being Model (2020, methodology): “…logical that disasters such as COVID-19 characterized by economic uncertainty will bring about a job uncertainty, and prompt general depression, an increase in suicidal tendencies (Eliason and Storrie, 2009), and mental disorders that can be measured using General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12).”
Feeling useless: the effect of unemployment on mental health in the Great Recession (2018, background): “Further, there is evidence that job displacement increases the likelihood of reporting poor health, suicide attempts, hospitalization, mental illness, and substance abuse (Eliason and Storrie 2009b; Browning and Heinesen 2012; Black et al. 2015; Schaller and Stevens 2015).”
