Unemployment has numerous negative consequences for health, but the family and the welfare state can mitigate these consequences. How the family supports its members and whether and to what extent this interacts with the broader context is still an open question. Our evidence show that job loss is causally linked to significant declines in health for men, but not for women. Yet, the increased risk of poor health is lower for coupled men, especially if the partner is employed. This suggests that both emotional and economic support play a role. Moreover, the family's mitigating role widely varies across different welfare regimes in Europe and it is particularly strong in Southern and Eastern regimes, characterized by "rudimentary" welfare systems and a more traditional family model.
失业对健康有诸多负面影响，但家庭和福利国家可以减轻这些影响。家庭如何支持其成员，以及这种支持是否以及在何种程度上与更广泛的背景相互作用，仍然是一个悬而未决的问题。我们的证据表明，失业与男性健康状况显著下降有关，但与女性无关。然而，对于已婚男性来说，健康状况不佳的风险增加幅度较低，特别是如果其伴侣有工作。这表明情感和经济支持都发挥了作用。此外，家庭的缓解作用在欧洲不同的福利制度中差异很大，在以“基本”福利制度和更传统家庭模式为特征的南欧和东欧制度中尤为明显。
