The effect of household head\u2019s employment status on subjective well-being of female spouses<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Kim, Myeonghui (Professor, Preventive Medicine, College of Medicine, Eulji Univ., South Korea)<\/span><\/p>\n

This research shows how the male household head\u2019s unemployment status can not only harm the individual unemployed person\u2019s health, but also negatively influence his spouse\u2019s health at the significant level. It also points out that compared to the discussion of economic costs of unemployment, the discussion of its social costs is lacking. By empirically proving the effects of unemployment on the family members\u2019 health, this study is expected to contribute to a better understanding of the social impacts of unemployment.<\/span><\/p>\n
