Die gesundheitliche Ungleichheit stieg zwischen den Erwerbsstatusgruppen jedoch an. 65,2% der Befragten im Alter ab 16 Jahren berichteten eine sehr gute oder gute Gesundheit trotz zunehmender Alterung der Bevölkerung in 2014 (vs. Die Erhebung umfasste in Deutschland im EU-SILC 2014 eine Zufallsstichprobe von 22 695 Personen ab 16 Jahren (darunter 860 Erwerbslose und 11 390 Erwerbstätige).Įrgebnisse Nach den EU-SILC-Surveys 2005–2014 verbesserte sich die subjektive Gesundheit in der Bevölkerung in Deutschland. Methodik Der EU-SILC-Survey wird als Haushaltsbefragung seit dem Jahr 2005 in Deutschland jährlich durchgeführt.

Consequently, health promotion approaches for the unemployed should especially target social support and time structure. In summary, our results show - besides health problems and a deteriorated financial situation in unemployment - the great importance of social support and time structure for maintaining mental health in unemployment. In connection with social role demands, a rudimentary time structure was reported by the participants The common reported coping strategy in unemployment is seeking for social support. Furhter, our respondents mentioned their health problems as a barrier for re-integration into the labour market.

They emphasized the importance of social support by their families, but reported also stressful psychosocial demands due their family members.

The respondents expressed their financial situation as a major strain in unemployment.

The study identified that five themes were particularly relevant in coping with unemployment: (1) the financial situation, (2) social support and psychosocial strains due family obligations, (3) health problems, (4) time structure and (5) coping strategies. For the analysis of the interviews, we followed the qualitative content analysis. We conducted problem-centered guideline interviews with 21 unemployed people. Hence, this study aims at generating a deeper understanding of coping with unemployment and maintaining health. A research gap exists regarding salutogenic factors and successful coping strategies to master involuntary job loss and unemployment with the least damage to health. They also refer to a need for prevention regarding healthcare and employment.Ī variety of empirical studies have shown the negative effects of unemployment on health. The analyses show substantial health disparities to the detriment of the unemployed. The most influential determinants of bad self-rated health are self-rated health status in the year before, while job loss and re-employment tend to influence the occurrence of bad self-rated health. Lower self-rated health is associated with a higher unemployment risk for employed persons as well as a lower probability of reintegration for unemployed persons. Multivariate, longitudinal, logistic regression models demonstrate strong health-related selection effects on labour market transitions. In spite of that, unemployed persons do less exercise. employed women: 12.2 %) and more contacts with physicians. employed men: 9.9 % unemployed women: 19.6 % vs. They also more often report at least one hospital stay in the previous 12 months (unemployed men: 16.3 % vs. For the unemployed, the proportion with an officially certified severe disability as well as another severe health impairment is much higher. employed men: 7.2 % unemployed women: 20.4 % vs. employed women: 21.7 %) and feel being rather or much impaired by mental problems (unemployed men: 21.9 % vs. employed men: 14.0 % unemployed women: 37.7 % vs. Unemployed persons more often report worse or bad self-rated health (unemployed men: 31.0 % vs. The employed and unemployed differ substantially in terms of socio-demographic and health-related characteristics. A total of 12,570 persons (aged 15 to 64 years) from 8,392 households were interviewed in wave 7 (2013) of PASS. This study is based on data from the German Labour Market and Social Security (PASS) panel study comprising a sample of beneficiaries of the Federal Employment Agency and their household members as well as a representative household sample. This secondary data analysis aims to study the interdependencies between unemployment and health. The causal relationship is not yet fully understood. According to existing research, unemployment is related to health problems.
