The papers that cover the period between the 1970s and early 2000s generally find a statistically significant relationship, where a 1% increase in unemployment decreases total mortality by between 0.3 to 1.1%. However, more recent papers that use similar methodologies but cover more recent time periods, are generally concluding that the relationship between overall mortality and unemployment is statistically insignificant (Mclnerney and Mellor,2012, Stuckler et al., Based on 17 separate cohort studies (with data from Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States) the meta-analysis showed that those with high levels of self-reported job insecurity were 1.32 times more likely to have a CHD event than those who reported low job insecurity.
