abstract: 'Background: Workforce participation is a key feature of public mental
|
|
|
|
health and social inclusion policies across the globe, and often a
|
|
|
|
therapeutic goal in treatment settings. Understanding the reciprocal
|
|
|
|
relationship between participation and mental health has been limited by
|
|
|
|
inadequate research methods. This is the first study to simultaneously
|
|
|
|
examine and contrast the relative effects of unemployment on mental
|
|
|
|
health and mental health on employment status in a single general
|
|
|
|
population sample.
|
|
|
|
Method: Data were from working-age respondents (20 to 55 years at
|
|
|
|
baseline) who completed nine waves of the Household, Income and Labour
|
|
|
|
Dynamics in Australia (HILDA) Survey (N = 7176). Cross-lagged path
|
|
|
|
analyses were used to test the lagged and concurrent associations
|
|
|
|
between unemployment and mental health over time, adjusting for
|
|
|
|
sociodemographic characteristics.
|
|
|
|
Results: Mental health was shown to be both a consequence of and risk
|
|
|
|
factor for unemployment. Thus, the poorer mental health observed amongst
|
|
|
|
people who are not working is attributable to both the impact of
|
|
|
|
unemployment and existing mental health problems. While the strength of
|
|
|
|
these two effects was similar for women, the results for men suggested
|
|
|
|
that the effect of unemployment on subsequent mental health was weaker
|
|
|
|
than the effect of mental health on subsequent risk of unemployment.
|
|
|
|
Conclusion: Disentangling the reciprocal links between mental health and
|
|
|
|
workforce participation is central to the development and success of
|
|
|
|
clinical goals and health and social policies that aim to promote either
|
|
|
|
aspect. This study demonstrates that both effects are important and
|
|
|
|
supports concurrent responses to prevent a cycle of disadvantage and
|
|
|
|
entrenched social exclusion.'
