Labour Market Status, Insecurity and Health

University College London, UK

Workplace closure results in unselective unemployment. This unique feature has enabled studies of workplace closure to make a significant contribution to knowledge about the effect of unemployment on health. A review of recent longitudinal, controlled studies of workplace closure documents their contribution to this knowledge. It also identifies a number of methodological problems and the scarcity of data on white- collar workers and gender differences. Results are presented from a study of the health effects of job insecurity, change and loss among white- collar men and women which was able to address some of the methodological disadvantages of previous studies.

Key Words: health • job insecurity, unemployment • white-collar work • workplace closure
