Abstract
The relationship between unemployment and health status is examined in a comparative study of five European countries using a time series model. "The hypothesis considered in this paper is that the secular decline in mortality rates can be attributed to the secular rise in real per capita income and that the remaining fluctuations in mortality rates can be explained by cyclical movements in income and variations in unemployment." The data concern the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Italy, Sweden, and Ireland. excerptKeywords: Comparative Studies; Death Rate--changes; Demographic Factors; Developed Countries; Economic Factors; Employment; Employment Status; Europe; France; Germany, Federal Republic Of; Health; Health Status Indexes; Income; Ireland; Italy; Macroeconomic Factors; Mediterranean Countries; Models, Theoretical; Mortality; Northern Europe; Population; Population Dynamics; Scandinavia; Socioeconomic Factors; Socioeconomic Status; Southern Europe; Sweden; Unemployment; Western Europe
