Mortality in the period 1981-3 among men in the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys longitudinal study who were seeking work in 1981 was examined to investigate whether the finding of a high mortality rate among a comparable group of men who were followed up from the 1971 Census was repeated despite appreciable changes in the size and structure of the labour force over the intervening years. The pattern of mortality shortly after both censuses suggests that sick unemployed men were not categorised as seeking work, and it is concluded that for both samples the mortality of those who were reported to be seeking work was raised for reasons other than initial poor health. Other findings from the two censuses are also broadly similar. If confirmed after longer follow up this will add considerably to the evidence of the adverse health consequences of unemployment.
对1981年在人口普查与调查办公室纵向研究中正在找工作的男性在1981 - 1983年期间的死亡率进行了调查，以研究在1971年人口普查中追踪的类似男性群体中发现的高死亡率，在这期间劳动力规模和结构发生了显著变化的情况下是否会再次出现。两次人口普查后不久的死亡率模式表明，生病的失业男性未被归类为正在找工作，并且得出结论，对于两个样本而言，报告正在找工作的人的死亡率升高是由初始健康状况不佳以外的原因导致的。两次人口普查的其他发现也大致相似。如果经过更长时间的随访得到证实，这将大大增加失业对健康产生不利影响的证据。
