Abstract: The purpose of this paper is also to analyze the importance of unemployment and other social factors as risk factors for impaired mental health. It departs from previous studies in that we make use of information about first admissions to a psychiatric hospital or ward as our measure of mental illness. The data base for our analyses has been constructed by merging two large Danish longitudinal data sets.
