The impact of unemployment on the physical and mental health of adolescents is one of the critical medical and social issues of our age. This paper reviews recent studies examining the link between youth unemployment and physical and mental ill-health. The evidence suggests that youth unemployment is associated with an increased vulnerability to psychiatric disorder. It is more firmly established that unemployment influences the course and prognosis of those with preexisting psychiatric disorders. Psychiatric disorder itself can also lead to reduced employability, particularly during periods of economic adversity. Fruitful areas of further study are identified.
失业对青少年身心健康的影响是我们这个时代关键的医学和社会问题之一。本文综述了近期有关青年失业与身心健康不良之间联系的研究。证据表明，青年失业与患精神疾病的易感性增加有关。更确切地说，失业会影响已有精神疾病患者的病程和预后。精神疾病本身也会导致就业能力下降，尤其是在经济逆境时期。本文还确定了进一步研究的富有成果的领域。
