Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how mental health of unemployed people changes based on various types of subgroups upon unemployment and reemployment status. Data were collected from unemployed people above 30 years old three times with six months intervals on each survey. 1,530 people responded to the first survey. Finally 483 people responded to the 3rd survey. These people were categorized into 4 different groups based on unemployment and reemployment status for each time: Group 1 consists of unemployment - reemployment -reemployment; Group 2 consists of unemployment - reemployment - unemployment. Group 3consists of unemployment - unemployment - reemployment; finally Group 4 consists of unemployment - unemployment - unemployment. Scales of GHQ, anxiety, depression, and psychosomatic were used to measure mental health. Results showed that generally mental health tends to become worse after unemployment whereas mental health tends to improve after reemployment success. Also, mental health for the continuous unemployed people tends to become stable across three different survey. Finally, limitations and implications of the study were discussed.
