Rosa Urbanos-Garrido and Beatriz Lopez-Valcarcel ()

The European Journal of Health Economics, 2015, vol. 16, issue 2, 175-184

Abstract: Anxiety and stress about the future associated with unemployment could have a large impact on individuals’ health. It may be necessary to prevent health deterioration in vulnerable groups such as the unemployed, and also to monitor specific health risks that arise in recessions, such as psychological problems.
