It is fifteen years since unemployment rose above one million in Britain, and yet most health workers and health authorities are only just awakening to the tremendous implications for health of mass unemployment. Richard Smith, a doctor and journalist, draws together for the first time in this book the wide range of evidence that shows how unemployment harms health. The evidence comes from a wide range of sources - historical, medical, psychological, political, sociological, statistical, journalistic, and literary. Dr Smith also discusses how we can respond to the implications for health of unemployent, and tackles the issue of what the disappearance of unemployment as we know it may mean for health. The book is based on Dr Smith's series of articles written for the British Medical Journal, very substantially revised, updated, and expanded. Readership: lay people with social/political interests in unemployment and health; medical and ancillary staff dealing with the unemployed.
