Hur påverkas ungas respektive personer i medelålderns hälsa av arbetslöshet? : En systematisk forskningsöversikt

Sammanfattning: Unemployment is a growing concern in todays modern society for both young and middle aged people. Previous studies have discussed the correlation between health and unemployment and multiple factors decide its long term effects. The intention of this study is to compare how young and middle aged people are effected by unemployment. The purpose of the comparative method is to clarify the extent of the different age groups social problems. This literary study is based on literary research that has been analyzed and summarized in a telling, reasonable and valued fashion. I have chosen Durkheims theory of society. I have used the different theories and empiricism to find a correlation and answer the intent of the paper. The result show that both young and middle aged people experience negative effects of unemployment. Young people experience both psychological and somatic effects through reduced wellbeing, increased risk of anxiety, dangerous behavior, substance abuse and premature death. Older people are effected by increased risk of psychological issues and substance abuse that can lead to somatic health problems. Support that strengthen the individual financially and socially seems to generate the best result to reduce negative effects on the individual. When comparing unemployment in young and middle aged people, it seems that socio-economical background and the possibility of social support are the most important factors. Age is a poor indicator to decide how unemployment affect the individual psychologically and somatically.
