abstract: 'Background: One important component of social inclusion is the
|
||
|
|
||
|
improvement of well-being through encouraging participation in
|
||
|
|
||
|
employment and work life. However, the ways that employment contributes
|
||
|
|
||
|
to wellbeing are complex. This study investigates how poor health status
|
||
|
|
||
|
might act as a barrier to gaining good quality work, and how good
|
||
|
|
||
|
quality work is an important pre-requisite for positive health outcomes.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Methods: This study uses data from the PATH Through Life Project,
|
||
|
|
||
|
analysing baseline and follow-up data on employment status, psychosocial
|
||
|
|
||
|
job quality, and mental and physical health status from 4261 people in
|
||
|
|
||
|
the Canberra and Queanbeyan region of south-eastern Australia.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Longitudinal analyses conducted across the two time points investigated
|
||
|
|
||
|
patterns of change in employment circumstances and associated changes in
|
||
|
|
||
|
physical and mental health status.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Results: Those who were unemployed and those in poor quality jobs
|
||
|
|
||
|
(characterised by insecurity, low marketability and job strain) were
|
||
|
|
||
|
more likely to remain in these circumstances than to move to better
|
||
|
|
||
|
working conditions. Poor quality jobs were associated with poorer
|
||
|
|
||
|
physical and mental health status than better quality work, with the
|
||
|
|
||
|
health of those in the poorest quality jobs comparable to that of the
|
||
|
|
||
|
unemployed. For those who were unemployed at baseline, pre-existing
|
||
|
|
||
|
health status predicted employment transition. Those respondents who
|
||
|
|
||
|
moved from unemployment into poor quality work experienced an increase
|
||
|
|
||
|
in depressive symptoms compared to those who moved into good quality
|
||
|
|
||
|
work.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Conclusions: This evidence underlines the difficulty of moving from
|
||
|
|
||
|
unemployment into good quality work and highlights the need for social
|
||
|
|
||
|
inclusion policies to consider people''s pre-existing health conditions
|
||
|
|
||
|
and promote job quality.'
