Men without Jobs: Some Correlates of Age and Length of Unemployment
Article Abstract:
This study examines four groups of variables in relation to age and length of unemployment in British males. It was found that physical problems were greatest in middle- aged members of the sample. Some leveling off of the problems appeared to take place after six months of unemployment. Financial strain was greater with longer periods of unemployment, though some leveling off seemed to take place after three to six months. The third investigated was desire for a job. No relation to length of unemployment seemed important since even after long periods of unemployment most men preferred to be in paid work. The study also found that many wives stop working after their husbands became unemployed in order for the household to claim increased benefits. The average member of the working-class sample reported his income fell to about half the amount he had when working.
