In a longitudinal study, a representative sample of nearly 2000 young people (17-20 years) was followed up in 1985, 1987 and 1989. The Central Bureau of Statistics in Norway was responsible for the collection of data. The results showed that unemployment had a weak but significant impact upon mental health problems. Active job seeking did not seem to moderate the mental health problems experienced by the unemployed. Social support and contact with close friends had a moderating effect upon nervous symptoms in women but not in men. Unemployed men who were especially involved in illegal activity showed increased nervous symptoms during unemployment.
在一项纵向研究中，于1985年、1987年和1989年对近2000名年轻人（17 - 20岁）的代表性样本进行了跟踪调查。挪威中央统计局负责数据收集。结果显示，失业对心理健康问题有微弱但显著的影响。积极寻找工作似乎并未缓解失业者所经历的心理健康问题。社会支持以及与亲密朋友的接触对女性的神经症状有缓解作用，但对男性则没有。特别卷入非法活动的失业男性在失业期间神经症状有所增加。
