Content: Lack of motivation
Some people may also just have not enough motivation to work at a job. These people may enjoy watching TV or playing video games all day long instead of working. This lack of motivation for work may be especially high for people who only have a low level of education and who would only be able to earn quite low wages, which makes it unattractive for them to work, especially if there is sufficient social security to cover their basic expenses.

Mental health issues
Unemployment can lead to severe mental health problems, especially for people who made their work their single purpose in life. These people may often find themselves in a difficult mental state since they just basically lose their whole life once they become unemployed. Some people may also feel not valuable when they have to stay at home instead of going to work, which may lead to mental issues like depression. Physical health issues
Since our body and our brain are complex systems and both are connected to each other, mental issues related to unemployment may also translate into physical health issues like headaches or more serious things like cardiovascular diseases. Sleeping problems related to stress may further increase the risk of serious health issues like heart attacks. Lower life expectancy
Unemployment may also lead to lower life expectancy. Especially people who are unemployed for a quite long time may lose their will to live at one point since they often lack social contacts and do not feel like a valuable member of society anymore.
