Auszug
Für epidemiologische und makroökonomische Analysen über die Auswirkung von Arbeitslosigkeit auf Gesundheit und Lebensqualität ist das Thema Depression von zentraler Bedeutung. Bei einer Recherche der führenden medizinischen Datenbanken (PubMed- und Medline) wurden für den Zeitraum von 1985 bis Mai 2005 über 50 klinisch-epidemiologische Studien zu diesem Thema identifiziert, die auf der Basis eines Follow-up-Designs und einer angemessenen Studiengröβe eine Effektschätzung erlauben. Die Anzahl der veröffentlichten epidemiologischen Studien über Arbeitslosigkeit und Depression hat sich im Vergleich der Jahre 1985-1994 und 1995-2005 mehr als verdoppelt. Als Ursache wird unter anderem die starke Zunahme von Langzeitarbeitslosigkeit während des vergangenen Jahrzehnts in Europa angenommen. Die Studien stammen aus Groβbritannien, den USA, Kanada, Australien, Deutschland, Frankreich, Japan und einigen skandinavischen Ländern. 34 Studien befassen sich spezifisch mit Depression als mögliche Folge von Arbeitslosigkeit (siehe Tabelle 8.1).
