abstract: 'Background: Unemployment, underemployment, and the quality of work are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
national occupational health risk factors that drive critical national
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
problems; however, to date, there have been no systematic efforts to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
document the public health impact of this situation. Methods: An
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
environmental scan was conducted to explore the root causes and health
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
impacts of underemployment and unemployment and highlight multilevel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
perspectives and factors in the landscape of underemployment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
unemployment. Methods: included a review of gray literature and research
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
literature, followed by key informant interviews with nine
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
organizational representatives in employment research and policy,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
workforce development, and industry to assess perceived needs and gaps
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in practice. Results: Evidence highlights the complex nature of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
underemployment and unemployment, with multiple macro-level underlying
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
drivers, including the changing nature of work, a dynamic labor market,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inadequate enforcement of labor protection standards, declining unions,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
wage depression, and weak political will interacting with multiple
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social determinants of health. Empirical literature on unemployment and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
physical, mental, and psychological well-being, substance abuse,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
depression in young adults, and suicides is quite extensive; however,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
there are limited data on the impacts of underemployment on worker
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health and well-being. Additionally, organizations do not routinely
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consider health outcomes as they relate to their work in workforce or
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policy development. Discussion and Conclusions: Several gaps in data and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
research will need to be addressed in order to assess the full magnitude
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the public health burden of underemployment and unemployment. Public
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
health needs to champion a research and practice agenda in partnership
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
with multisector stakeholders to illuminate the role of employment
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
quality and status in closing the gap on health inequities, and to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
integrate workforce health and well-being into labor and economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
development agendas across government agencies and industry.'
