| Description | The study sample is formed by the participants of ELSPAC (European Longitudinal Study of Parenthood and Childhood) and the data used is from the eleven-year-old age (of the children from the project) period. The sample was divided into four groups. There are: 1. group of employed parent couples (N = 1,264); 2. group of parent couples with unemployed mothers (N = 215); 3. group of parent couples with unemployed fathers (N = 148) and 4. group of both unemployed parents (N = 37). This paper supports the majority of mentioned research outcomes with describe the link between unemployment and a negative material or psychosocial impact on the family. We also draw attention to the fact that many serious health and behavioral consequences can manifest in the longer term (especially in children) and we try to suggest advice for social work with families impacted by unemployment. |
