Health problems
Unemployment can also have a significant impact on a person's physical health. Being unemployed is a highly stressful situation, so it may cause stress-related health issues such as headaches, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, back pain and insomnia. These health issues often result in increased visits to a doctor and increased use of medication to manage the health conditions. Many people rely on their jobs to provide health insurance, so when a person is unemployed they likely do not have access to health care. Unemployment can also increase a person's risk of further declined health, as they often skip health-related appointments to reduce costs. Unemployed people are also less likely to spend money on health-related expenditures such as a gym membership or healthy food. By skipping out on these preventative measures, individuals increase their risk of a decline in physical health. Negative familial effects
Family members of an unemployed person are also at risk of the negative impact of unemployment. According to the Society for the Psychological Study of Social Issues, individuals who are unemployed have less family and marital satisfaction and increased family challenges compared to unemployed people. The study also found that the stress of unemployment can negatively impact the well-being of spouses.
